In the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-methyl-1-propanol, what carbocation would be formed if a hydride shift accompanied cleavage of the carbon–oxygen bond in the alkyloxonium ion? What ion would be formed as a result of a methyl shift? Which pathway do you think will predominate, a hydride shift or a methyl shift?
When 1,2-cyclohexanediol is dehydrated in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, the major product is not an alkene. Instead, you get cyclohexanone. Write a reasonable and detailed mechanism for the dehydration of 1,2-cyclohexanediol to form cyclohexanone. Use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons and draw the structures of all intermediates and byproducts formed in the course of this reaction as well as any alternative resonance structures that will help you to account for the formation of the major product observed in this reaction.
Draw a flowchart showcasing the purification step done for the reaction under basic conditions (the basic reaction of 4-methoxyacetophenone with bleach, sodium hydroxide, and acetone), starting from the crude reaction mixture all the way to the isolated solid product. Assume for this drawing that the reaction was complete, and that none of the intermediates are found in the crude mixture. There may still be however traces of your starting material in the crude mixture, along with any excess reagents
Complete the reactions below using the required reagents or products. If there is no reaction, indicate so. If a product is in the majority, specify which one.
Several reagents and several organic structures are shown below. Construct a multistep synthetic route from the reactant 2-methyl-1-butene to the product 3-bromo-2-methyl-2-butanol by dragging the appropriate pieces into the bins. Note that each bin will hold only one item, and not every given reagent or structure will be used.
In the following reaction Series, write down the appropriate reagents that can be used where there are question marks
Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show reagents and conditions to bring about these conversions, which may require more than one step.
Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
I'm just wondering, would the answer be that it is possible to create 3-methyl-1-butanol form acidic hydration of 3-methyl-1-butene but you would end up with a mixture of 3-methyl-1-butanol as well as 3-methyl-2-butanol with the latter being the major species?
Write the reaction mechanism of the following transformations:
