Chapter 12, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given alkenes are to be matched with their heats of hydrogenation.

Concept introduction: Hydrogenation reaction is exothermic in nature due to the fact that the bonds are stronger in product than in reactant. Heat of hydrogenation can be used as measure for relative stability of alkenes when they are reduced to same alkane. Higher the stability of alkene, lower is the heat of hydrogenation.

Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.
Predict the energy difference between pent-1-ene and cis-pent-2-ene.
1. Consider the following reaction - Dehydrogenation of Methyl Cyclohexane (MCH) to Toluene (TOL) using a Precious Metal (Pt) supported on Alumina. CH3 CH3 2 () + 3 H₂ Typically, hydrogenation of a cyclo-alkane, like MCH, occurs in 3 or more stages, where one bond is dehydrogenated per stage, eventually resulting in the dehydrogenation of 3 bonds. Strong adsorption of MCH is likely to occur, but the adsorption of hydrogen (either as a molecule on a single site OR as an atom on a single site) is unclear. Therefore, in this question, two types of reaction mechanisms are to be considered, as discussed below: (a) You are to first propose a reaction mechanism which includes adsorption, surface reaction, and desorption. For each of the following cases, please write down a full set of elementary reaction mechanisms. (0) Extraction of Hydrogen in 3 stages, based on dehydrogenation of each bond-where the ensuing hydrogen product is adsorbed as a molecule on a single site, in one step.…
