QUESTION 5 Compound A has the formula C8H8. It reacts rapidly with KMNO4 to give CO2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C7H602), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C8H16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C. COO CO2H B C

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 :)

One possible way of determining the identity of an alkene, is to let itundergo an oxidative cleavage reaction in the presence of hot basicpotassium permanganate. You are given two containers said to containdifferent alkenes. Container A is marked as cis / trans‐2‐butene andcontainer B as 2‐methyl‐1‐butene. Explain by referring to the formation ofproducts, how you would verify the identity of the alkenes.

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
