Chemistry · Alkenes: Geometrical isomerism, mechanism of electrophilic addition, addition of hydrogen, halogens, water, hydrogen halides (Markownikoff's and peroxide effect), Ozonolysis and polymerization
The reaction is called
The reaction \( \boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{H}_{2}=\boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{H}_{2}+ \) \( \boldsymbol{H}_{2} \underbrace{\frac{N i}{250-300^{\circ}}} \boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{H}_{3}-\boldsymbol{C H}_{3} \) is called
- A. Wurtz reaction
- B. Kolbe's reaction
- C. Sabatier - Sendern's reaction
- D. Cabylamine reaction
Step-by-step solution
The reaction is the hydrogenation of ethene (CH2=CH2) to ethane (CH3-CH3) using a nickel catalyst at 250-300°C. This is a classic example of the Sabatier-Senderens reaction, which involves the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons to saturated ones. The other options are incorrect: Wurtz reaction couples alkyl halides, Kolbe's reaction involves electrolysis of carboxylates, and carbylamine reaction is for primary amines.
