Chemical reaction of 2-Butene

Answer 1

2-butene is an alkene which may undergo several addition reactions as Hydrohalogenaton, Halogenation, Hydration, Catalytic hydrogenation, Hydroxylation and so many others some are as follows..

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 + HCl -----------> CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 + Cl2 ------------> CH3-CHCl-CHCl-CH3

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 + H2O ----H+---> CH3-CH2-CHOH-CH3

Answer 2

2-Butene undergoes addition reactions with electrophiles such as hydrogen halides to form corresponding alkyl halides. It can also undergo hydration in the presence of acid catalyst to form 2-butanol. Additionally, it can undergo polymerization to form polybutene.
