(a)
Interpretation:
From the given set of
Concept introduction:
Alkene Metathesis or olefin metathesis
This breaks the double bond of an alkene and then rejoins the fragments.
When the fragments are joined, the new double bond is formed between two
Terminal alkene gives the best yields of a single alkene product in metathesis because one of the products is ethane, which is equally removed from the reaction mixture, thus shifting the equilibrium in favor of the other new alkene product.
(b)
Interpretation:
The suitable alkenes should be identified which is used in metathesis reaction.
Concept introduction:
Alkene Metathesis or olefin metathesis
This breaks the double bond of an alkene and then rejoins the fragments.
When the fragments are joined, the new double bond is formed between two
that were not previously bonded . Alkenes also undergoes metathesis.
