When 1,2-cyclopentanediol and acetone are mixed in the presence of a catalytic amount of acid, the reaction shown below occurs: OH H,o* o: CH3 + H20 HO. H;C CH3 (cat.) 0. CH3 Propose a curved-arrow mechanism for this reaction. Use curved arrows to show movement of electron pairs, and draw structures for all important reaction intermediates. Be sure to show all lone pairs and nonzero formal charges. The reaction is catalytic in acid, so the H30* that is used in the first step must be regenerated by the end of the mechanism.

Choose the best reagents from the list provided below for carrying out the following conversion. Match the reagent with the step number. HCl (aq), Zn(Hg) Br2, FeBr3 Na/NH3, -33 degrees C NBS, light KMnO4, H3O+ Mg metal, ether KOH, EtOH, heat
Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.
The reaction of tert-butyl cyclopentyl ether with trifluoroacetic acid is shown below. Explain what kind of reaction this is (SN1, SN2, E1, E2...) and show the mechanism for this transformation.

Please give a detailed stepwise mechanism for the following reactions of Q.1 and Q.2. All arrows, charges, intermediates, and resonance structures must be shown.
True or false? 2-bromo-2-methylpropane undergoes SN1 rather than SN2 because the nucleophile experiences steric hindrance, and a stable carbocation can be formed. When hydroxide ion reacts with 1-chloropropane the main product is 1-propanol.
draw 2 potential mechanisms for the etherification of ethyl vanillyl alcohol (3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) with methanol and acid (Amberlyst® 15 resin): Sn1 and Sn2, complete with structures and arrows.one of the reaction mechanisms above involves a resonance stabilized carbocation. Draw all resonance structures for this carbocation.
iii) 2-Bromo-2-cyclopropylpropane will undergo an SN1 reaction called solvolysis in methanol to give several products, two of which are shown below. Use curly arrows to show how the formation of these two products occurs mechanistically.
