Chapter 4, Problem 3LGP
When 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene is allowed to react with hydrogen in the presence of a platinum catalyst, the product of the reaction is a cycloalkane that has a melting point of –50 °C and a boiling point of 130 °C (at 760 torr).
(a) What is the structure of the produce of this reaction?
(b) Consult an appropriate resource (such as the web or a CRC handbook) and tell which stereoisomer it is.
(c) What does this experiment suggest about the mode of addition of hydrogen to the double bond?

Chlorination of 2-butanone yields two isomeric products, each having the molecular formula C4H7ClO. (a) What are these two compounds? (b) Write structural formulas for the enol intermediates that lead to each of these compounds. (c) Using curved arrows, show the flow of electrons in the reaction of each of the enols with Cl2.
The melting points and boiling points of two isomeric alkanes are as follows: CH3(CH2)6CH3, mp = -57 °C and bp = 126 °C; (CH3)3CC(CH3)3, mp = 102 °C and bp = 106 °C. (a) Explain why one isomer has a lower melting point but higher boiling point. (b) Explain why there is a small difference in the boiling points of the two compounds, but a huge difference in their melting points.
(a) What structural feature is associated with each type of hy-drocarbon: an alkane; a cycloalkane; an alkene; an alkyne? (b) Give the general formula for each type .(c) Which hydrocarbons are considered saturated?
