Most methods of making alkenes yield predominately the more stable isomer, usually the trans. Outline all steps in the conversion of a mixture of 75% trans-2-pentene and 25% cis-2-pentene into essentially pure cis-2-pentene.
Based on the more stable conformation (conformation A), need help providing two mechanisms for the E2 elimination of the protonated version of cis-1 using a general base (B:) to give alkenes 2 and 3. Clearly show which hydrogens meet the stereochemical requirements for E2-elimination Using Zaitsev’s rule, indicate which is favoured. Pictured is also a reaction mechanism to show what the alkenes 2 and 3 are. Thank you :)
1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under thesame conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C.Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structuresof A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions

Provide a synthesis starting from benzene, toluene, bromocyclohexane and any other carbon compound having 4 carbons or less. Reagents not bonded in the final compound do not count for the 4-carbon rule, but you can use compounds like TsCl or PPh3.
Compound X is insoluble in cold KMnO4, Br2 in CCl4, and conc. H2SO4. Compound X is most likely: a. an alkane b. none of these c. an alkene d. an alcohol e. an alkyl halide Indicate which of the ff. statements regarding nucleophilicity is incorrect. F- is more nucleophilic, hence, more reactive towards methyl iodide than Cl-. Second row elements are more nucleophilic than first row elements of comparable basicity. The rate of SN2 reaction may be markedly affected by the nucleophilicity of the attacking atom.

Predict the major organic product formed when the compund shown below undergoes a reaction with H2O2 and then is heated in H2O. The 2nd photo is what I thought was the answer, but when I put it into Mastering Chemistry, it was counted as wrong and my feedback was, "What configuration is the C=C bond expected to haev?" I'm confused as to what this is referring to, so I appreciate any help given.
