These compounds have general formula C sub n H sub two n plus two.
Symmetric examples of these compounds are formed under anhydrous conditions in a coupling reaction using sodium metal. Methods of preparing these compounds include reacting thioacetals with hydrogen gas and Raney Nickel, and reacting ketones with hydrazine under basic conditions. In IR spec, due to stretching and scissoring of bonds, these compounds have peaks in the 3000 to 2850 inverse centimeter and 1470 to 1450 inverse centimeter range. These compounds are produced when reacting Grignard reagents with water. Conformational isomers of these molecules, such as gauche and eclipsed, can be visualized with Newman projections. These compounds have general formula C sub n H sub two n plus two. For 10 points, name these hydrocarbons that only have single bonds, as exemplified by methane.
