Additional Problems
7.31 The odor of a human's armpit is due to a number of molecules, including some
sulfur-containing compounds. Indeed, the major component in the odor of
sweat is (S)-3-methyl-3-mercapto-1-hexanol. Draw the structure of this thiol.
7.32 Thymol is an antibacterial oil obtained from thyme (Thymus vulgaris). The
IUPAC name of this compound is 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol. Draw the
structure of thymol.
Properties of Alcoh ols
7.33 Classify the alcohols in parts a, d, f, h, i, and j of Problem 7.26 as primary,
secondary, or tertiary
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), source
of the antibacterial oil thymol.
7.34 Arrange the compounds in each of the following groups in order of increasing
solubility in water, and briefly explain your answers:
a. 1-octanol; ethanol; ethyl chloride
b. HOCH2(CHOH)3CH2OH; 1,5-pentanediol; 1-pentanol
Acid-Base Reactions of Alcohols and Thiols
7.35 The following classes of organic compounds are Lewis bases. Write an equation that shows how each class might
react with H+
a. amine, R3N:
b. ether, ROR
c. ketone, R2C=0
choice of order:
7.36 Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing acidity, and explain the reasons for
cyclopentanol, phenol, p-nitrophenol, and 2-chlorocyclopentanol.

7.37 Which is the stronger base, potassium t-butoxide or potassium ethoxide? (Hint: Use the data in Table 7.2.)
7.38 Complete each of the following equations:
a. CH,CH(ОН)CH,CH, + K —
b. (CH),СHОН + NaH —

e. CH2CH=CHCH2SH + NaOH>
7.39 Explain why your answers to parts c, d, and e of Problem 7.38 are consistent with the pKgs of the starting acids
and product acids (see eqs. 7.14, 7.15, and 7.48)
Acid-Catalyzed Dehydration of Alcohols
7.40 Show the structures of all possible acid-catalyzed dehydration products of the following. If more than one alkene
is possible, predict which one will be formed in the largest amount.
b. 1-methylcyclopentanol
d. 2-hexanol
a. 3-methylcyclopentanol
c. 2-phenylethanol
7.41 Explain why the reaction shown in eq. 7.19 occurs much more easily than the reaction
(CH3)3C-OH (CH),C + HO. (That is, why is it necessary to protonate the alcohol before
ionization can occur?)
7.42 Draw a reaction energy diagram for the dehydration of tert-butyl alcohol (eq. 7.21). Include the steps shown in
eqs. 7.18-7.20 in your diagram.
