Propane is C3H8.
Propene is C3H6.
C3H8 is the chemical formula of propane (hydrocarbon, alkane).
propene or cyclopropene dependant on bonding
wood, leaves, paper, wax, hydrogen gas, ethanol, methane, propane, propene, benzene (Propane and and propene are two different substances- propene has an extra double bond.)
To convert propene into propane, a hydrogenation reaction is used. This process involves adding hydrogen (H₂) to propene (C₃H₆) in the presence of a catalyst, such as nickel, palladium, or platinum, under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions. The reaction reduces the double bond in propene, resulting in the formation of propane (C₃H₈).
The formula for propene is c3h6 the formula for propyne is c3h4.
A common mechanism is the hydrogenation of a double bond, which would produce propane
Propane is the common name---I have never heard of it called anything else. Natural gas contains propane, but there is typically more methane and ethane in natural gas than there is propane.
C3H6 is an empirical formula for propene.
Propene + Br2 + hv ==> 3-Bromo-1-propene (free radical halogenation - allylic position is halogenated only)3-bromo-1-propene + OsO4 ==> 1,2 dihydroxy-3-bromo propane (or, you can also use MCPBA to create the epoxide and open it with mild acid or base, or you can use Br2 and H2O to create the halohydrin... lots of options here)1,2 dihydroxy-3-bromo propane + NaOH ==> 1,2,3 trihydroxy propane (glycerin aka glycerol)
Propene can be converted to propan-2-ol through a two-step process. First, propene is reacted with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to form propan-2-ol. This reaction is known as hydration of propene. Second, the intermediate product formed from this reaction undergoes a dehydration reaction to yield propan-2-ol.
In order to convert propene to propane you must break the C=C double bond. The simplist way to do this is with a Lindlar catalyst (eg. H2,Pd). This reagent will break the double bond, giving you propane. The same reagent will also work if you need to break and triple bond and make it a double bond.
The main uses of Ethene (common name ethylene) and propene (common name propylene) is in the synthesis of polyethylene and polypropylene. They are also used in the synthesis of other chemicals. Propene is used to make epoxy resins for example. Butane and pentane are used as fuels and also in chemical synthesis.
