1. Compound A, C9H12, absorbs 3 equivalents of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation over palladium catalyst to give B, C9H18. On the treatment with acidic KMnO4, compound A gives among other things, a ketone that was identified as cyclohexanone. On reaction with NaNH2 in NH3, followed by addition of iodomethane, compound A gives a new hydrocarbon C, C10H14. What are the structures of A , B and C?
The base-promoted rearrangement of an -haloketone to a carboxylic acid, known as the Favorskii rearrangement, is illustrated by the conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. It is proposed that NaOH first converts the a-haloketone to the substituted cyclopropanone shown in brackets and then to the sodium salt of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. (a) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to the proposed intermediate. (b) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of the proposed intermediate to sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate.
Reaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol. Of the four possible cis,trans isomers, one is formed in over 85% yield. (a) Draw structural formulas for the four possible cis,trans isomers of the bicyclic alcohol. (b) Which is the structure of the isomer formed in 85% yield? How do you account for its formation? Create a model to help you make this prediction.
A hydrocarbon (X), with the molecular formula: C8H14 is reduced in presence of sodium and liquid ammonia to give the only product (Y) with the molecular formula: C8H16. Compounds X and Y both resulting 2,5-dimethylhexane when treated with hydrogen and platinum catalyst (H2/Pt). As a result of the oxidative cleavage of compound Y (by using KMnO4 / H2SO4), a single carboxylic acid derivative with C4H8O2 molecular formula is formed. Again, as a result of the reaction of Y with perbenzoic acid, the chiral compound C8H14O is observed, but the reaction of compound Y with bromine gives the achiral C8H14Br2 as the product.
Benzene, C6H6 undergoes substitution reaction with concentrated nitricacid, HNO3 to produce compound L.

Doxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. Except for the Nef reaction in Step 8, we have seen examples of all other types of reactions involved in this synthesis. Q. Write equations to show that Step 6 can be brought about using either methanol or diazomethane (CH2N2) as a source of the -CH3 in the methyl ester.
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?

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.

(b) Account for the fact that 2-phenylpropanal is formed rather than its constitutional isomer, 1-phenyl-1-propanone.
