1-hexanol was prepared by reacting an alkene with either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction. Draw the structure of the alkene that was used to prepare the alcohol in highest yield. . . . You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Indicate the method of preparation by drawing either BH3 (for hydroboration-oxidation), or Hg (for oxymercuration-reduction), in a separate sketcher. If there is more than one alkene that can be used for a given method, draw all of them. If either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction can be used, just give the structures for one method.

What is the strongest IMF in pure 2-octanone? I know it is a ketone and has some polarity due to this, but the carbon chain so long, I wonder if london dispersion forces are stronger?
Draw every stereoisomer for 1‑bromo‑2‑chloro‑1,2‑difluorocyclopentane. Use wedge‑and‑dash bonds for the substituent groups, and be sure that they are drawn on the outside of the ring, adjacent to each other. Clearly show stereochemistry by drawing the wedge‑and‑dashed bonds like the example. You should replace the X with the appropriate halide.
Would you expect 1-hexene to dissolve in hexane? Why or why not?
#B: Methyl acetate has methoxy, -OCH3 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. Isopropyl acetate has isopropoxy, -OCH(CH3)2 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. -OCH(CH3)2 is more electron donating than the methoxy, -OCH3 group due to the presence of two electron-donating -CH3 group in the former. Hence saponification reaction of Isopropyl acetate is much slower than methyl acetate. Hence the rate of saponification of methyl acetate, CH3CCO2CH3 is 50 times greater than that for isopropyl acetate.
