13619.06R 15 Propene (C3H6) is a raw material obtained from crude oil which can be used to produce many important chemicals. A reaction scheme is shown below. C3H6 C3H8 propene C3H7Br C3H7CI C3H8O C3H6O reaction A reaction D reaction B reaction C (a) State the name of the mechanism for reaction A and reaction B. A B [4] (b) (i) Write an equation for reaction A. [1] (ii) Two isomers of C3H7Br are produced in reaction A. State the IUPAC name of the isomer which is the major product. [1] (iii) Draw a mechanism to show the formation of the major product in reaction A. [3] 13619.06R [Turn over (c) (i) Write the formula of the reagent required in reaction B. [1] (ii) Describe the conditions required for reaction B. [2] (iii) The reagent required in reaction B can also be used, under different conditions, to convert C3H7Br back to C3H6. State the type of reaction which occurs when C3H7Br is converted to C3H6. [1] (d) (i) Draw the structural formulae of the two isomers of C3H6O which are produced in reaction C. [2] (ii) Name the reagent used to carry out reaction C. [1] 13619.06R (e) C3H8 reacts with Cl2 to form C3H7Cl in reaction D. One by-product in this reaction is C6H14. (i) Name the mechanism for this reaction. [1] (ii) Write an equation for the initiation step in this mechanism. [1] (iii) Write equations for the two propagation steps in this mechanism. [2] (iv) Write an equation for a termination step which produces C3H7Cl. [1] (v) Write an equation to show how C6H14 may be produced in this reaction. [1] 13619.06R (f) Pentane, C5H12, is also obtained from crude oil. It has the same relative formula mass as butanal, C4H8O, and a similar relative formula mass to butan-1-ol, C4H9OH. However, the three compounds have very different boiling points. Identify which compound (pentane, butanal or butan-1-ol) has the highest boiling point and which has the lowest boiling point. Explain the variation in boiling points of the three compounds with reference to intermolecular forces. In this question you will be assessed on your written communication skills including the use of specialist scientific terms.
