Determine Products of Oxidative Cleavage


← Back to Alkenes

 

  1. Cleave the C=C
  2. Add O at the end of each dangling C=
  3. Check for H bonded to C on C=O (i.e. aldehydes); Add an O to each H directly bonded to C=O (i.e. convert the aldehyde to a carboxylic acid). If the C on C=O is directly bonded to 2H i.e. H2C=O, the fragment is oxidized completely to CO2
  4. If the conditions for the oxidation is alkaline (i.e. KMnO4/OH–), convert all –COOH to –COO– and CO2 to CO32–

 

Example: Determine the products when 2-methyl-but-2-ene, (CH3)2C=CHCH3 is reacted with hot alkaline KMnO4.





- Substituent Effects
← Back to Arenes   A substituent on a benzene ring can have 2 effects: activate or deactivate the ring i.e. cause the substituted benzene to be more reactive or less reactive than benzene direct the position of subsequent substitution i.e. 2,4-directing...

← Back to Alkenes   Hydrogenation  Type of Reaction: Reduction/ Addition Hydrogenation is NOT an electrophilic addition reaction; the mechanism is solid state catalysed (adsorption) and does not involve an electrophile. Alkenes do not react...

- Assign Ph To Amino Acids
← Back to Amino Acids & Proteins   Approach: Recall: pKa = – logKa [stronger acid = larger Ka/ smaller pKa] R–COOH is a stronger acid than R–NH3+ –COOH closer to –NH3+ is the stronger acid –NH3+ closer to –COOH is the stronger...
