Write equations for the reaction of pent- 2 -ene with the following:
(a) $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{Pd}$ catalyst
(b) $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$
(c) $\mathrm{HCl}$
(d) $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ catalyst

Key Concepts

Hydrogenation Reaction

This reaction involves the addition of hydrogen (H2) across the carbon?carbon double bond in the presence of a metal catalyst, such as palladium (Pd). It converts an alkene into a saturated alkane by combining hydrogen atoms with the carbon atoms formerly involved in the double bond, without altering the carbon framework.

Halogenation Reaction

Halogenation of alkenes is an electrophilic addition reaction where a diatomic halogen like Br? reacts with an alkene to form a cyclic halonium ion intermediate. The subsequent attack by a bromide ion opens the ring, resulting in an anti addition that produces a vicinal dibromide.

Hydrohalogenation Reaction

Hydrohalogenation is an electrophilic addition process where a hydrogen halide such as HCl adds across the double bond of an alkene. The proton (H?) first adds to the alkene, forming a more stable carbocation intermediate, which is then attacked by the halide ion, typically following Markovnikov's rule in terms of regioselectivity.

Acid-Catalyzed Hydration

Acid-catalyzed hydration involves the addition of water to an alkene in the presence of a strong acid catalyst like H?SO?. The initial protonation of the alkene forms a carbocation intermediate, which is then attacked by water. Finally, deprotonation leads to the formation of an alcohol, usually following Markovnikov's rule.
