You have been tasked with the job of converting cyclohexane to iodocyclohexane. Radical iodination is not a feasible process (it is not thermodynamically favorable), so you cannot directly iodinate the starting cycloalkane that way. Propose an alternative strategy for performing the transformation of cyclohexane to iodocyclohexane. [Hint: you might not be able to do it in one step]

(S)-2-Tosylpentane (stereochemistry not shown in the figure below) is converted to one of the stereoisomers of 2-bromopentane. Provide the formula of the reagent you would use to accomplish this transformation, and draw the correct stereoisomer product.
A novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B. M is a diazine derivative; N is a tetra-atomic cyclic compound, and O is a compound with two separate thiol groups. C. M is a thiadiazole derivative; N is a four-membered ring involving the nitrogen atom, and O results in two sulfur-centered radicals. D. M is a dithiolane derivative; N is a dimer involving the nitrogen…
We'll see in the next chapter that the stability of carbocations depends on the number of alkyl substituents attached to the positively charged carbon - the more alkyl substituents there are, the more stable the cation. Which of the two carbocations in each pair is more stable? If they are of equal stablility, specify this.

Free-radical chlorination of hexane gives very poor yields of 1-chlorohexane, while cyclohexane can be converted to chlorocyclohexane in good yield. How do you account for this difference?
1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
