Give the name for the product from the hydrogenation of each of the following:

c. cyclopropene

Accepted Answer

All right. Hi, everyone. So this question is asking us what is the name of the compound formed from the hydrogenation of cyclophene? Option aces Hep, option B says 12 dimethyl heptane. Option C says clot and option D says 12 dimethyl cyclo. So the first thing I'm going to do here is draw out the product or excuse me, the starting material cyclophene. So the prefix cyclo indicates that there is a ring structure in this molecule. Now given the name heptane, the ring is composed of seven carbons and inside of the ring is one double bond between two carpets. Though I will draw my seven member ring and inside of it is a double bond. Actually, I can draw that a little bit but like so, so in this case, we have our starting material which is a cyclo orine, right? We've got a ring structure containing carbons and that ring structure contains a carbon carbon double bond. So the hydrogenation of cyclophene is as follows, recall that an alkene such as this one can react with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst, particularly a metal such as nickel. So here cyclophene will react with hydrogen gas in the presence of Nicco as a catalyst. Now, in this case, the two hydrogens from hydrogen gas are going to add themselves across both carbons of the starting. OK. In other words, each carbon of the starting keen receives one hydrogen atom resulting in an all cane as your final product. So for my final product, I would draw the same seven member ring except there will no longer be a double bond present. Rather, there will only be single bonds in this molecule. And so the two carbons from the double bond will each receive one hydrogen atom from H two gas. And so considering the structure of this molecule, I have seven carbons in total and they are arranged in a ring now because there are only single bonds in between all of the carbons inside of the ring. The prefix or excuse me, the suffix at the end of the parent name would be A&E to indicate that it is a cyclo alkane. So my name here for my product is cyclo heptane, which means that my answer is option C in the multiple choice. And there you have it. In this case, we do not have any substituents attached to the molecule. So the name is simply cyclo het. And with that being said, thank you so very much for watching. And I hope you found this helpful
