- describe how the following conversions could be carried out. In each case give reagents and conditions of the reactions and the structures of the products. a) CH2=CH2 -> CH2 COOH b) ethanol -> 2hydroxypropanoic acidarrow_forward2arrow_forward2-chloropropane is a major product of the reaction of chlorine with propane under ultraviolet light. Write the mechanism for this reaction including the initiation step and the two propagation steps.arrow_forward
- 10) Synthesis: Make the following products from a suitable cyclic alkene starting material. Look at the functional group PATTERN present in the molecule, including stereochemistry. ♡ Br Brarrow_forwardCCH H20, H2SO4 H9SO4 CH3 Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions Hjö: -CH3 -CH3 H3O*arrow_forwardThe reduction of a certain alkene gave 2-methylbutane. It also gave acetic acid (CH3CO2H) as one of the products when treated with hot basic KMnO4 followed by acidification. Give the IUPAC name of this alkene.arrow_forward

Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each product from the reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane using AlCl 3 as the catalyst and Identify the major product.arrow_forward
- Write down the common (not IUPAC) names of the organic molecules that would be released if this molecule were hydrolyzed: CH,—O—C—(CH2)—CH=CH-CH,—CH=CH—(CH2) — CH3 CH-0- -(CH2)–CH=CH(CH2)CH3 O CH,—O-C=(CH2)=CH=CH(CH2)—CH3 Separate each name with a comma and a space.
