Step by step solution

01

H2 Palladium catalyst

H2Palladium catalyst is a solid catalyst used in the hydrogenation reaction of alkenes.

The reactant and the catalyst are in different phases; therefore, the reaction is termed heterogeneous catalysis.

02

Formation of alkanes from alkenes

Alkenes undergo a reduction reaction using a hydrogen palladium catalyst and form alkane.

The unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond is reduced to a saturated carbon-carbon single bond.

03

Reaction of alkenes in the presence of H2  palladium catalyst

Constitutional isomers of alkenes can result in the formation of identical alkanes.

a.


Formation of isopentane

from constitution isomer of 3-methyl-butene

b.

Formation of 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane

from constitutional isomers of dimethyl cyclohexene

c.

Formation of 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane

from constitutional isomers of dimethyl cyclohexene

Question:Devise a synthesis of (3R,4S)-3,4-dichlorohexane from acetylene and any needed organic compounds or inorganic reagents.

Question: It is sometimes necessary to isomerize a cis alkene to a trans alkene in a synthesis, a process that cannot be accomplished in a single step. Using the reactions that you have learned in Chapters 8–12, devise a stepwise method to convert cis-but-2-ene to trans-but-2-ene.
