jmarjorie Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 In the direct hydration of Alkenes using an acid ( mineral or organic ) as catalyst in aqueous conditions,what is the ideal Molarity, quantity of acid, reaction conditions and yield ? Is this an efficient process for say, the isoprene derivative, a diene, CH2=C(CH3) CH CH2 CH2 C(CH3)CH=CH2 , which is soluble in Ethanol and using dil H2SO4.

chuinhen Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Depends on what is the producy you want. 1)Intramolecular Hydration temp :180C reagent :Concentrated Sulphuric acid PRODUCT : ALKENE 2)Intermolecular Hydration temp :140C reagent :Sulphuric Acid PRODUCT : ETHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
