What is the equations for teh reaction between hexene and bromine and hexene and acidified potassium manganate that was acified using h2so4
Accepted Answer
Reaction with Bromine:
Hexene (C6H12) reacts with bromine (Br2) in a halogenation reaction to form 1,2-dibromohexane.
Equation:
C6H12 + Br2 → C6H12Br2
Reaction with Acidified Potassium Manganate(VII):
Hexene reacts with acidified potassium manganate(VII) (KMnO4) in a syn-hydroxylation reaction to form hexane-1,2-diol.
Equation:
C6H12 + [O] → C6H12(OH)2
Note: The oxidizing agent is actually MnO4-, which is reduced to Mn2+ in acidic conditions. H2SO4 is used to provide the acidic environment and also acts as a catalyst.
Mechanism:
The reaction proceeds via a cyclic intermediate formed by the addition of MnO4- to the double bond. This intermediate then undergoes hydrolysis to form the diol. The reaction is stereospecific, meaning that the two hydroxyl groups are added to the same side of the double bond.
