Concept explainers
Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (CH3COCH3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2SO4 gives E (C10H16), which decolorizes two -equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and a Pt catalyst to give isobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout.

- Compound A (C11H23Br) is a secondary alkyl halide. On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having molecular formula C11H22. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3,5-diethylheptane. Draw structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forwardUsing the normal/primary isomer of C4H10O, treat it with conc.H2SO4 and heat to produce A. Treatment of A with HCl/H2O gives B and with cold KMnO4/ OH- gives C . Give the name and structures of A, B and C Treatment of A with Hot KMnO4/OH- gives D followed by acidification of the mixture to give E. What is D and E ?arrow_forwardCompound A has the formula C9H19Cl. B is a C9H19Br compound.A and B undergo base-promoted E2 elimination to give the same alkene C as the major product as well as different minor products.C reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2,6-dimethylheptane.Addition of HCl to C yields A as the major product.Propose structures for A and B.arrow_forward
- Compound A, C 10H 18O, undergoes reaction with dilute H 2SO 4 at 50 °C to yield a mixture of two alkenes, C 10H 16. The major alkene B, gives only cyclopentanone after ozone treatment followed by reduction with zinc in acetic acid. Which of the following reactions are correct. Can be more than one answerarrow_forwardCompound A has molecular formula C4H10, and gives two monochlorides, B and C, on photochemical chlorination. Treatment of either of these monochlorides with potassium tert-butoxide gives the same alkene (C4H8) as the product, but B leads to just one isomer of the alkene, D, where C gives D and another isomer of the alkene, E. Treatment of monochlorides B and C with aqueous ethanol gives products F and G, respectively, both of which are of molecular formula C4H10O. What are the names of compounds A-G?arrow_forwardCompound P (C2H4) which is an alkene undergoes reaction with HCl to produce compound Q (C2H5Cl). Reaction of compound Q with benzene in the presence of AlCl3 as catalyst produces compound R. Then, nitration of compound R in the presence ofnH2SO4 produces two compounds, S and T. But when compound R is reacted with a hot acidified solution of alkaline KMnO4 gives compound U. Deduce the structure of compounds P to U.arrow_forward
- Compound A, C11H16O, was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a Pd/C catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute H2SO4, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B, C11H14 was produced as the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. Product C, C8H8O, was shown to be a methyl ketone while product D, C3H6O, was shown to be an aldehyde.arrow_forwardA is a compound with molecular formula of C6H10, contains three methylene units.
