Rearrangement: Not possible
Mechanism: You do not need to know the mechanism for this reaction
Do know that a commonly-used peroxy acid is m-CPBA:
Catalytic Hydrogenation
Do know that the C=C double bond gets “sawed” in half, and an O atom is placed on the end of each new piece.
Note: (CH3)2S is often abbreviated “DMS” for dimethyl sulfide.

Do know that the C=C double bond gets “sawed” in half, and an O atom is placed on the end of each new piece. Any
H’s attached to the alkene C’s get replaced by an –OH group since we are under oxidizing conditions/hot KMnO4.
Unlike reducing conditions which would have formed aldehydes, oxidizing conditions produces carboxylic acids
instead.

Rearrangement: Possible
Mechanism: Same as for terminal alkynes, but yields a mixture of two products because both intermediates are equally
stable

Hydration of a Terminal Alkyne (Markovnikov)
Do know that this reaction produces Markovnikov enols, which then tautomerize to form ketones.
Do know that this reaction produces Anti-Markovnikov enols, which then tautomerize to form aldehydes.

2. H2O2 O O
or OH HO
1. KMnO4/heat
2. H3O+
Know that the reaction cuts a triple bond in half, very similar to ozonolysis on an alkene. An O replaces two of the
bonds as C=O and the third lone bond becomes a bond to -OH. Unlike ozonolysis, instead of forming the C-H bond
of an aldehyde, a C-OH bond of a carboxylic acid is formed.

Know that the reaction cuts a triple bond in half, very similar to ozonolysis on an alkene. On the internal side, an O
replaces two of the bonds as C=O and the third lone bond becomes a bond to -OH. On the terminal side, two
oxygens O replaces all the bonds on carbon, forming the most oxidized form of carbon: CO2.

www.datbootcamp.com 27 of 28|Page
Mechanism: Grignard reagents are electron-rich and attack electrophilic species such as carbonyls. The mechanism
follows typical nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl with a twist; the Grignard reagent adds twice with esters and acyl
chlorides, forming 3º alcohols. Here it is shown on an ester (the same mechanism as with an acyl chloride):

their corresponding carboxylic acid and alcohol, an important biological process.
