This document summarizes common reactions of alkenes. It lists various reagents and conditions used to react alkenes, such as bromine, hydrogen halides, acids, and bases. The main products formed from these reactions include vicinal dibromides, bromoalcohols, halogenoalkanes, vicinal diols, carbonyl compounds, alcohols, and alkanes. Observable color changes or temperature conditions are also noted.

Br(l) Room temperature Vicinal dibromide Bromine decolorized No light Br(aq) Room temperature Vicinal dibromide Bromine decolorized NB: CAPE just uses the dibromide (minor product) as the product. They disregard the Bromoalcohol (major alcohol. product) Hydrogen halide Room temperature Halogenoalkane HX where X is F, Cl, Br, I Hydrogen halide either dissolved in ethanoic acid or gaseous HX bubbled through alkene H+(aq)/KMnO4(aq) Cold dilute Vicinal diol Purple colour of KMnO4(aq) decolorized H+(aq)/KMnO4(aq) H+(aq)/KMnO4(aq) Hot concentrated Mixture of compounds Purple colour of KMnO4(aq) decolorized H+(aq)/KMnO4(aq) containing a carbonyl group (C=O) (ketones, carboxylic acids, aldehydes which are oxidized to acids) Sometimes CO2 and H2O formed as well Hydration Acidic catalyst Alkyl hydrogensulfate (concentrated H2SO4) which is then hydrolyzed with H2O to an alcohol and the sulphuric acid is regenerated Hydrogenation Room temperature Corresponding alkane (addition of hydrogen) (150oC) (unsaturated High pressure compound) Catalyst – nickel or platinum
