When MCPBA is added to this functional group, it forms an oxirane similar to the cyclopropanes created when it undergoes the Simmons-Smith reaction. Alkoxymercuation-demercuration and hydroboration can convert it to an alcohol because it is nucleophilic. A molecule with two of these groups is known as a diene. Its character
When MCPBA is added to this functional group, it forms an oxirane similar to the cyclopropanes created when it undergoes the Simmons-Smith reaction. Alkoxymercuation-demercuration and hydroboration can convert it to an alcohol because it is nucleophilic. A molecule with two of these groups is known as a diene. Its characteristic peak is at about 1660 inverse centimeters on an IR spectrum. This functional group readily undergoes electrophilic addition due to its carbon-carbon double bond. For 10 points, name this function group derived from a hydrocarbon of formula C n H two n, the simplest example of which is ethylene.
