Chemical properties
1. Addition reaction A triple bond adition reaction can take place in two stages Markovnikov’s law : The rich get richer. Similar to addition reaction of alkenes 1 pi bond becomes 2 sigma bonds. Usually exothermic
a) Halogenation (X2) Cl2 and Br2 add to alkynes to form vinyl dihalides . May add syn or anti, so product is mixture of cis and trans isomers. Difficult to stop the reaction at dihalide .
b) Hydrohalogenation (HX) Markovnikov ’s law : H atoms of hydrogen halides into atoms C double bind more H atoms. HCl , HBr , and HI add to alkynes to form vinyl halides. If two moles of HX is added, product is a geminal dihalide .
c) Hydrogenation (H2)
d) Hydration (H2O) Mercuric sulfate in aqueous sulfuric acid adds H-OH to one pi bond with a Markovnikov orientation, forming a vinyl alcohol ( enol ) that rearranges to a ketone . Hydroboration -oxidation adds H-OH with an anti- Markovnikov orientation, and rearranges to an aldehyde .
3. Substitution reaction Substitution on the alkyne reaction involves the release of H atoms bound to the C C bond at the end of the chain of alkyne CH≡ C-CH3 + AgNO3/NH3 → Ag-C ≡- C-CH3↓ + NH4NO3 silver asetilid e
4. Oxidation reaction a, KMnO 4 Dilute, neutral solution of KMnO4 O xidizes alkynes to a diketone . Warm, basic KMnO4 cleaves the triple bond. Ozonolysis , followed by hydrolysis cleaves the triple bond.
4. Oxidation reaction b, Combustion reaction Combustion propyne with a limited amount of O 2 , CO or C will result in: C 3 H 4 (g) + 4 O 2 (g ) 3 CO 2 (g) + 2H 2 O(g )
