17.4 Reactions of side chains
Alkanes can be prepared by the reduction of various organic compounds as follows:
(a) By hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons
Alkanes are obtained by hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes & alkynes) in presence of finally divided catalyst e.g. Ni, Pt, Pd etc.
The following reaction is known as Sabatier & Senderen’s reaction
(b) By the reduction of Alkyl Halides:
Alkyl halides undergo reduction with nascent hydrogen to form alkanes.
By using following methods alkanes can be prepared:
Note:
(i) LiAlH4 is a very strong base and gives elimination reaction with 30 alkyl halides.
(ii) $NaB{H_4}$ reduces only 20 and 30 alkyl halides
(c) By reduction of Alcohols: By following two methods, alkanes can be prepared from alcohols.
(d) By reduction of Carbonyl Compounds: By following three methods aldehydes & ketones are reduced to give alkanes.
(e) By reduction of Carboxylic acid: Reduction by $HI/P/\Delta $ gives alkane.
