The following product was obtained from the ozonolysis of alkene what is the structure of the alkene???
An inexperienced graduate student treated dec-5-ene with borane in THF, placed the flask in a refrigerator, and left for aparty. When he returned from the party, he discovered that the refrigerator was broken and that it had gotten quite warminside. Although all the THF had evaporated from the flask, he treated the residue with basic hydrogen peroxide. Tohis surprise, he recovered a fair yield of decan-1-ol. Use a mechanism to show how this reaction might have occurred.(Hint: The addition of BH3 is reversible.)
Acetoxybenzene (PhOC(=O)OCH3) is much less reactive than ethoxybenzene (PhOCH2CH3) in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Suggest an explanation for this result, based on an analysis of the inductive and resonance electronic effects of the two substituents on the stability of theWheland intermediate for para substitution by an electrophile E+
The reaction proceeds by an SN2 mechanism. Draw a sketch of the structure of the transitionstate, clearly indicating:- the geometry at the electrophilic carbon centre, and- bonds in the process of being broken or formed with dotted lines, if present.

A ketone undergoes acid-catalyzed bromination, acid-catalyzed chlorination, racemization, (see page 408)and acid-catalyzed deuterium exchange at the a-carbon. All of these reactions have similar rate constants.What does this tell you about the mechanisms of these reactions?
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 student in Ochem proposed the following synthesis.

Provide the mechanism and expected actual final product from the reaction of halohydrin A with LDA
(ii) The elimination reaction between 2-bromobutane and NaOCH2CH3 gives two organic products. Draw a mechanism for the reaction which produces the major organic elimination product and provide a rationale as to why that is the major product.(with explanation)
