I. The reaction of BH3 with 2-methylbut-2-ene results in the attachment of a hydroxyl group, OH, on the third carbon since this carbon is less substituted.
II. The reduction of an alkyne using a strong base such as LiNH2 gives an alkane when 2 equivalents of hydrogen gas is added.
III. Hydrobromination of an alkene follows anti-Markovnikov’s rule in the presence of a peroxide.
The alcohol given below yields three alkene products upon dehydration. Which of the products will be present in the highest quantity?
Organic Chemistry
Acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-1-butanol produces 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Also acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 3-methyl-1-butanol give the same product as major product. Explain the reason why both of the reaction produce the same product as the major product.

- You are required to synthesize 2-bromopentane from the reaction between an alkene with HBr. Which alkene, 1-pentene or 2-pentene, should you react with HBr in order to get 2-bromopentane? Give an explanation.arrow_forwardA chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2 CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structures of A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions.arrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forward

- 1,4-Dioxane is made commercially by the acid-catalyzed condensation of an alcohol.(a) Show what alcohol will undergo condensation, with loss of water, to give 1,4-dioxane.arrow_forward#B: Methyl acetate has methoxy, -OCH3 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. Isopropyl acetate has isopropoxy, -OCH(CH3)2 as the remaining of the alcohol part in the ester. -OCH(CH3)2 is more electron donating than the methoxy, -OCH3 group due to the presence of two electron-donating -CH3 group in the former. Hence saponification reaction of Isopropyl acetate is much slower than methyl acetate. Hence the rate of saponification of methyl acetate, CH3CCO2CH3 is 50 times greater than that for isopropyl acetate.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forward
