Below is a mechanism that represents the following single reaction sequence: a certain alcohol undergoes acid- catalyzed dehydration (conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion) to form an alkene product. Write the IUPAC name of the product. Include E/Z stereochemistry. Hint: Name of the substituent of the product is similar to that of reactant.

True or false : When exposed to light and atmosphere, ethers can slowly react with oxygen forming compounds called hydroperoxides. Hydroperoxides are stable and cannot be easily decomposed by heat or mechanical impact. Could you explain how to show this in detail?

An ion with a positively charged nitrogen atom in a three-membered ring is called an aziridinium ion. The following aziridinium ion reacts with sodiummethoxide to form compounds A and B: If a small amount of aqueous Br2 is added to A, the reddish color of Br2 persists, but the color disappears when Br2 is added to B. When the aziridinium ion reacts with methanol, only A is formed. Identify A and B.
For each reaction, decide whether substitution or elimination (or both) is possible, andpredict the products you expect. Label the major products.(a) 1@bromo@1@methylcyclohexane + NaOH in acetone
When toluene is treated with sulfuric and nitric acids under special conditions, three nitro (NO2) groups are substituted for hydrogens at the 2, 4 and 6 positions on the ring (the next section discusses why the 2, 4, and 6 positions are substituted). The product is a highly explosive substance called 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. This subastance is commonly known by a three letter name. What is it?
The compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms?
