Hemiacetals are a useful functional group in synthetic chemistry, and although their straight- chain forms are not often found in drug structures, cyclic forms are relatively common. The molecule 5-hydroxyhexanal (1) is an example of a molecule whose straight-chain form is in equilibrium with a 6-membered cyclic form (2). H* LHOT 1 OH

Organic Chemistry Incorrect Separation Scheme Cannot be hand-drawn *see attached for the incorrect separation scheme provided. The top of the separation scheme shows what other compound is mixed with your molecule (2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene). Assume for the purposes of this assignment that both compounds are solid at room temperature. Also assume that both compounds are soluble in ether, except ionic compounds. The goal of the separation is the isolate each of the two compounds from the mixture. Below the incorrect separation scheme write a discussion of this incorrect scheme identifying all of the mistakes in the separation scheme. Keep in mind that there will be more than one mistake in the scheme. For each mistake, give a detailed, scientific explanation of why it is incorrect.
