Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene, which is 1-pentene in the case of 1-bromopentane. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative. [2] It is also formed by the reaction of 1-pentanol with hydrogen bromide.
2-Bromohexane is the organobromine compound with the formula CH 3 CH(Br)(CH 2) 3 CH 3. It is a colorless liquid. The compound is chiral. Most 2-bromoalkanes are prepared by addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene. Markovnikov addition proceeds in the absence of free-radicals, i.e. give the 2-bromo derivatives. [2]
RCH=CH 2 + HBr → RCHBrCH 3. Under free radical conditions, the direction of the addition can be reversed. Free-radical addition is used commercially for the synthesis of 1-bromoalkanes, precursors to tertiary amines and quaternary ammonium salts. 2-Phenethyl bromide (C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 Br) is produced via this route from styrene.
A 1,2-rearrangement is an organic reaction where a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in a chemical compound. In a 1,2 shift the movement involves two adjacent atoms but moves over larger distances are possible. Skeletal isomerization is not normally encountered in the laboratory, but is the basis of large applications in oil ...
The most-studied class of organoboron compounds has the formula BR n H 3−n. These compounds are catalysts, reagents, and synthetic intermediates. The trialkyl and triaryl derivatives feature a trigonal-planar boron center that is typically only weakly Lewis acidic. Except a few bulky derivatives, the hydrides (n = 1 or 2) dimerize, like ...
In organic chemistry, the ene reaction (also known as the Alder-ene reaction by its discoverer Kurt Alder in 1943) is a chemical reaction between an alkene with an allylic hydrogen (the ene) and a compound containing a multiple bond (the enophile), in order to form a new σ-bond with migration of the ene double bond and 1,5 hydrogen shift.

[1] [2] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds. Examples include a molecule with a carbon–carbon double bond (an alkene) or a triple bond (an alkyne). Another example is a compound that has rings (which are also considered points of unsaturation).
