when 2 moles of bromine gas reacts with propyne the IUPAC name of the product will be
Answers
Answer:
Reaction of Alkynes with HBr (radical)
radical addition of HBr to alkynes
Reaction type: Radical Addition
Summary
When treated with 1 equivalent of HBr in the presence of oxygen or peroxides or uv light, an alkyne forms a vinyl bromide.
However, under these conditions which promote the radical addition, the regioselectivity is anti Markovnikov
addition of HBr to propyne under radical conditions
Peroxides (or uv light) facilitate the formation of a bromine radical e.g. RO.+ HBr -> ROH + Br .
Reaction proceeds via the more stable radical intermediate.
In the presence of excess HBr, a second addition can occur to the product alkene giving a vicinal or 1,2-dibromide (see above).
The major product from the reaction of excess HBr in the presence of peroxides to terminal alkynes are the 1,2-dibromoalkanes.
Note the difference in regiochemistry between this radical mechanism (see above) and the heterolytic pathway (see below).
