Consider the compounds 1-pentanol,CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH, melting point -78C boiling point 138C, MW=88.15. 1,6-hexanediol ,HO-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH, mp 42C,bp=250C.MW=118.18. The compound 1,6-hexanediol is more soluble in water than 1-pentanol is. This is because 1,6-hexanediol.... 1) has more carbon atoms 2)has a higher molecular weight 3)has more -OH groups 4)is a solid at room temperature
Consider diastereomers X and Y shown below. Cl diastereomer X Cl HO H OH H Each diastereomer, if treated with sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3), undergoes an E2 reaction. One of the diastereomers undergoes an E2 to make a single compound. The other diastereomers undergoes E2 eliminations leading to two different compounds. Draw the mechanisms for all three of these E2 reactions, being sure to use conformational structures for the substrate in each reaction. Which of the two diastereomers will undergo an E2 reaction at the faster rate? Why? (In organic chemistry it is often said one picture is worth a thousand words. Be sure to include a picture that supports whatever argument you are making.

1 mol NH3 + 1 mol C2H5Cl when heated there is a lot of unreactd NH3 (about 80%). Why does this occur? How do nucleophiles and electrophiles play a role in this?
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.
