Chrysanthemic acid occurs as a mixture of esters in flowers of the chrysanthemum (pyrethrum) family. Reduction of chrysanthemic acid to its alcohol, followed by conversion of the alcohol to its tosylate, gives chrysanthemyl tosylate. Solvolysis of the tosylate gives a mixture of artemesia and yomogi alcohols. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the reaction mechanism. + H₂O: + :OH₂

Some of the most useful compounds for organic synthesisare Grignard reagents (general formula R-MgX, where X is ahalogen), which are made by combining an alkyl halide, R-X,with Mg. They are used to change the carbon skeleton of a start-ing carbonyl compound in a reaction similar to that with R-Li:.(a) What is the product, after a final step with water, of thereaction between ethanal and the Grignard reagent of bromo-benzene? (b) What is the product, after a final step with water, ofthe reaction between 2-butanone and the Grignard reagent of2-bromopropane? (c) There are often two (or more) combina-tions of Grignard reagent and carbonyl compound that will givethe same product. Choose another pair of reactants to give theproduct in (a). (d) What carbonyl compound must react with aGrignard reagent to yield a product with the -OH group at theendof the carbon chain? (e) What Grignard reagent and carbonylcompound would you use to prepare 2-methyl-2-butanol?

When heated with H2SO4, both 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol are dehydrated to form 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. Which alcohol dehydrates more rapidly?
#B: Methyl acetate has methoxy, -OCH3 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. Isopropyl acetate has isopropoxy, -OCH(CH3)2 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. -OCH(CH3)2 is more electron donating than the methoxy, -OCH3 group due to the presence of two electron-donating -CH3 group in the former. Hence saponification reaction of Isopropyl acetate is much slower than methyl acetate. Hence the rate of saponification of methyl acetate, CH3CCO2CH3 is 50 times greater than that for isopropyl acetate.

Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.
