  2. Hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenation

    binding of the hydrogen to give a dihydride complex via oxidative addition (preceding the oxidative addition of H 2 is the formation of a dihydrogen complex): L n M + H 2 → LnMH 2. binding of alkene: L n MH 2 + CH 2 =CHR → L n MH 2 (CH 2 =CHR) transfer of one hydrogen atom from the metal to carbon (migratory insertion): L n MH 2 (CH 2 =CHR ...

  3. Syn and anti addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syn_and_anti_addition

    In organic chemistry, syn-and anti-addition are different ways in which substituent molecules can be added to an alkene (R 2 C=CR 2) or alkyne (RC≡CR).The concepts of syn and anti addition are used to characterize the different reactions of organic chemistry by reflecting the stereochemistry of the products in a reaction.

  4. Hydrocyanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocyanation

    In organic chemistry, hydrocyanation is a process for conversion of alkenes to nitriles. The reaction involves the addition of hydrogen cyanide and requires a catalyst if the substrate alkene is unactivated. This conversion is conducted on an industrial scale for the production of precursors to nylon.

  5. Wilkinson's catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkinson's_catalyst

    Wilkinson's catalyst also catalyzes many other hydrofunctionalization reactions including hydroacylation, hydroboration, and hydrosilylation of alkenes. [14] Hydroborations have been studied with catecholborane and pinacolborane. [15] It is also active for the hydrosilylation of alkenes. [16]

  6. Hydroformylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroformylation

    Hydroformylation of an alkene (R 1 to R 3 organyl groups (i. e. alkyl-or aryl group) or hydrogen). In organic chemistry, hydroformylation, also known as oxo synthesis or oxo process, is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes (R−CH=O) from alkenes (R 2 C=CR 2).

  7. Free-radical addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_addition

    Reaction is slower with alkynes than alkenes. [3]: 750 In the paradigmatic example, hydrogen bromide radicalyzes to monatomic bromine. These bromine atoms add to an alkene at the most accessible site, to give a bromoalkyl radical, with the radical on the more substituted carbon.

  8. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    The general chemical equation for the hydration of alkenes is the following: RRC=CH 2 + H 2 O → RRC(OH)-CH 3. A hydroxyl group (OH −) attaches to one carbon of the double bond, and a proton (H +) adds to the other. The reaction is highly exothermic. In the first step, the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton, following ...

  9. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds .
