Q. 11.64 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

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

a) $1-$hexene

b) $2-$methyl$-2-$pentene

c) cyclopropene

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The names after the hydrogenation are:

a) $1-$hexane

b) $2-$methyl$-2-$pentane

c) cyclopropane

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after hydrogenation of $1-$hexene

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:

$1-$hexane

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after hydrogenation of $2-$methyl$-2-$pentane

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:

$2-$methly$-2-$pentane

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We have to give the name of the product after the hydrogenation of cyclopropene

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:

cyclopropane
