3.3.4. Hydrogenolysis of water (rupture of O-H bond and the formation
of H 2 )
Inorganic:

(water gas shift)
P4 + 16H 20 = 4H,P0 4 + 10H 1
3.4. Hydration. The transfer of H 20 or active hydrogen without involving
gaseous hydrogen.
3.4.1. Intramolecular
Ether:
(CH2H,)20 + H2 0 = 2C 2H\OH
A!kene:

CH 2 : CH 2 + H 20 = C 2HsOH
Alkyne:
C 2 H 2 + H 20 = CH,CHO
Diolelin:

3.4.2. Intermolecular
Diene:
CH 2 : CH(CH 3): CH 2 + H 20 = CH 2 : CH 2 + (CH,hCO
Aromatic:

C,H,CH, + H 20 = CH 3 0H + C 6 H6
Ester:

Ketone:

RCH: CHCHCOCH, + H 20 = RCHO + CH)COCH J
3.5. Amination. The transfer of NH J .
Inorganic:
CO + N H3 = HCN + H 20
Alcohol:
CH 30H + NH3 = CH3NH2 + H20
Acid:
CH,COOH + NH3 = CH 2CONH 2 + H 20
CH,CH 2COOH + NH3 = CH)CH 2CN + 2H 20
