B) High molar mass aldehydes and ketones have boiling points that are too high to be soluble in water. C) low molar mass aldehydes and ketones hydrogen bond with one another to be soluble in water. D) low molar mass aldehydes and ketones have low boiling points that enhance solubility in water.

Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):
2-methyl-1-propanol heated with acidic K2Cr2O7 reaction
Compounds A, B, and C have the same molecular formula C4H8. They all react wotu H2/PtO2 to give the same compound. The reaction of A or B with H2O/H2SO4 or with BH3-THF, followed by treatment with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, gives the same compound, namely D. The reaction of C with H2O/H2SO4 also gives D. However, the reaction of C with BH3-THF, followed by HO-, H2O2 gives a new compound, E. Provide the identity of A, B, C, D, and E along with explanations of reactivity.

In SN2 reactions of haloalkanes, the order of reactivity is RI>RBr>RCl>RF. Alkyl iodides are considerably more reactive than alkyl fluorides, often by factors as great as 106. All 1-halo-2,4-dinitrobenzenes, however, react at approximately the same rate in nucleophilic aromatic substitutions. Account for this difference in relative reactivities.
Look at the three resonance structures of naphthalene shewn in Section 15-6, and account for the fact that not all carbonâ€”carbon bonds have the same length. The C1-C2 bond is 136 pm long, whereas the C2â€”C3 bond is 139 pm long.
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+
Oximene and myrcene, two hydrocarbons isolated from alfalfa that have the molecular formula C10H16, both yield 2,6- dimethyloctane when treated with H2 and a Pd catalyst. Ozonolysis of oximene forms (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, CH2(CHO)2, and CH3COCHO. Ozonolysis of myrcene yields (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, (two equiv), and HCOCH2CH2COCHO. Identify the structures of oximene and myrcene.
