Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.
Wittig reactions with the following -chloroethers can be used for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones. (a) Draw the structure of the triphenylphosphonium salt and Wittig reagent formed from each chloroether. (b) Draw the structural formula of the product formed by treating each Wittig reagent with cyclopentanone. Note that the functional group is an enol ether or, alternatively, a vinyl ether. (c) Draw the structural formula of the product formed on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of each enol ether from part (b).
Organic Chemistry Acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-1-butanol produces 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Also acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 3-methyl-1-butanol give the same product as major product. Explain the reason why both of the reaction produce the same product as the major product.
