define an alkyne
|
a hydrocarbon with a triple bond.
|
|
what is the simplest alkyne?
|
Acetylene H-C///C-H
|
|
A C-C trible bond results from the interaction of ____ ?
|
two sp hybrid oritals of carbon lying 180 degrees from each other along an axis of two unhybridized 2py and 2pz orbitals
|
|
how is the length of a triple bond related to its strength?
|
the triple bond is the shortest and therefore strongest known Carbon-Carbon bond
|
|
Explain why the triple bond is linear
|
two sp-hybridized carbons approach each other, and this forms one sp-sp sigma bond and two p-p pi bonds. that leaves only two remaining sp orbitals to form bonds to other atoms at a 180 degree angle.
|
|
Naming
begin numbering at... |
the end nearer the triple bond so that the triple bond receives as low a number as possible
|
|
compounds with more than one triple bond are called...
|
diynes, triyes, and so forth
|
|
compounds with double and triple bonds are called ___
|
enynes
|
|
numbering of an eyne chain starts from the end....
|
nearer the first multiple bond, whether double or triple. but double bonds receive lower numbers than triple bonds
|
|
just as there are alkyl groups derived from alkanes, and alkenyl substituents from alkenes, there are ____ groups from alkynes
|
alkynyl
|
|
alkynes can be prepared y _________ from alkyl halides in much the same manner as alkenes
|
elimination of HX
|
|
what does "vicinal" mean?
|
it's a term used to refer to a 1,2 di- substitution pattern.
|
|
give an example of a vicinal molecule
|
1,2 dibromoethane is a vicinal dibromide.
|
|
Treatment of ______ with excess _____ results in _______ and formation of an alkyne.
|
Treatment of a 1,2-dihaloalkane with excess strong base such as KOH or NaNH2 results in a twofold elimination of HX and fomration of an alkyne.
|
|
how can you obtain the necessary vicinal dehalides for the formation of an alkyne? what is the significance of this?
|
they are readily available by addition of Br2 or Cl2 to alkenes. This means that the overall halogenation/dehydrohalogenation sequence gies a way to go from an alkene to an alkyne
|
|
what is a vinylic subsituent?
|
one that is attached to a double-bond carbon.
|
|
what does the twofold dehydrohalogenation take place through?
|
a vinylic halide intermediate.
|
|
which gets priority in naming: a double or a triple bond?
|
double
|
|
Alkynes react with HBR and HCl to yield....
|
*vinylic* halides
|
|
Alkynes react with Br2 and Cl2 to yield...
|
1,2 dihalides (vicinal dihalides)
|
|
Alkynes can be hydrated by reation with ____ in the presence of ____
|
aqueous sulfuric acid in the presence of mercury (11) catalyst.
|
|
Alkyne hydration reaction with aqueous sulfuric acid in the presence of mercury(11) catalyst leads to an intermediate _____ that immediately isomerizes to yield a ketone _______
|
intermediate enol
ketone tautomer ...a methyl ketone is producedfrom a terminal alkyne |
