- Given that five isomeric compounds (A, B, C, D, E) with the molecular formula C5H10O were subjected to chemical tests after undergoing Clemmensen reduction compounds A,B, and C all yielded n-pentane, the results of these tests are provided in the table below. Can you draw the structures of compounds A to E based on the outcomes of the chemical tests?arrow_forwardWhich alcohol structure shown below would be less acidic and why?arrow_forwardImagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) When chlorobenzene reacts with a hot solution of sulfuric and nitric acids, an interesting result occurs: the reaction is slower than the reaction of the solution with benzene – which is similar to the result of the reaction of the solution with nitrobenzene – but it generates products with the same substitution pattern seen in the reaction of the solution with phenol. Explain why chlorobenzene has this curious reactivity.arrow_forward
- Rank the basicity of the following sets of compounds. And give explanation.arrow_forwardWrite the major carbon containing product. Write optically active or racemic and if the reaction is E1, E2, SN1 or SN2arrow_forwardA compound A, C7H12, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over platinum catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, C7H16. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C5H10O2. Write the reactions and draw structures for A, B and C.arrow_forward
- Compound A is an alcohol that undergoes oxidation to produce compound B.Compound B is a ketone that gives positive triiodomethane reaction. Compound B isthen reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide, C6H5MgBr in the presence of aqueousacid to form compound C. Compound C has the molecular formula of C9H12O. Deducethe structure for compound A, B and C. PLEASE PROVIDE CLEAR DRAWINGS AND EXPLANATIONSarrow_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_forwardGive the process of Determining the Mechanism and Stereochemistry inNucleophilic Substitution ?arrow_forward
- Give the structural chemistry of active methylene, classify it asradical/intermediate/stable organic compound, reagent of its production and role in alkylationarrow_forwardIn the reactions given below, write to which organic molecule Y, Z, T, A ‘belongs, and give information about the reaction types that take place.arrow_forwardCompound A (C5H8) readily reacts with bromine (Br2) at room temperature to discharge the purple colour of bromine and form Compound B (C5H8Br2). When Compound A is treated with H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, it is converted to compound C (C5H10). When treated with HCl, compound A is converted to compound D (C5H9Cl). B, Cand D are saturated compounds. Given this information, propose structural formulas for compounds A, B, C, and D.arrow_forward
