Reactions of Alkenes
In this problem we shall consider eight alkene
reactants:
4-methyl-1-pentene
trans-3-hexene
cis-3-hexene
methylenecyclopentane
1-methylcyclopentene
2,3-dimethyl-2-butene
indene
ethylidenecyclohexane
These compounds may be reacted with nine different
reagents:
Hydrogen chloride, HCl
