1. Acid-catalized rearrangement reactions of simple alcohols are quite common. Based on the mechanism shown in the background, can you predict the product and mechanisms for the reation of a strong acid and isopropyl alcohol? Answer: OH H* - H20 - H* CH3 CH CH CH3 CH CH CH3 CH, CH H2C C CH3 H. 2. Why is acetic acid a better acid catalyst than hydrogen chloride for this carbocation rearrangement?

How do I report this data? Blue is background data, red is compound 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane, synthesized from 3-phenyl-1-propanol using Nabr and h2so4.
What are the final products for these reactions? *mechanisms not necessary
Assume that 2-chloropropane reacts with CN− in an SN2 reaction. Use the JSME editor () to draw the structure of the substitution product of the reaction. The guide on how to draw your structure can be found here Important Note: When drawing the structures in the JME editor please adhere to the following formats: 1. If the nucleophile is OH−, DO NOT manually add the "H" to the final product 2. If the nucleophile is CN−, be sure to include the appropriate bonding between the C and N in the final product

In the chemical reaction between 1-Bromobutane and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is barely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially the SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.
Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.

6) During the Wittig reaction, you perform the reaction as follows:4-chlorobenzaldehyde (136 mg) and (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane(323 mg) were placed in a 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The two solids were mixed vigorously for 15 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexanes (2.9 mL - density 0.661 g/mL) The by-product, triphenylphosphine oxide, was filtered off.0.085 g total of triphenyl phosphine was isolated. The filtrate was then evaporated to dryness to obtain 0.151 g of the desired product, pure ethyl-4-chlorocinnamate, as a colorless oil.What is the % effective mass yield of the reaction? (Your result should be reported as a % value and rounded to the nearest integer.
