Q. 11.63 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Give the name of the product from the hydrogenation of each of the following:

a) $3-$methyl$-2-$pentene

b) cyclohexene

c) propene

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The names after the hydrogenatin are:

a) $3-$methylpentane

b) cyclohexane

c) propane

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after hydrogenation of $3-$methyl$-2-$pentene.

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify

We know that after hydrogenation, the double bond gets converted into single bond.

So, with this concept, the new name for the reactant is:

$3-$methylpentane

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after the hydrogenation of cyclohexene.

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify

We know that after hydrogenation, the double bond gets converted into single bond.

So, with this concept, the new name for the reactant is:

cyclohexane.

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after the hydrogenation of propene.

Part (c) Step 2: Simplify

We know that after hydrogenation, the double bond gets converted into single bond.

So, with this concept, the new name for the reactant is:

propane.
