- An unknown alcohol with a molecular formula of C7H14O was oxidized to an aldehyde with HOCl. When an acidic solution of the alcohol was distilled, two alkenes were obtained. The alkene formed in greater yield was determined to be 1-methylcyclohexene. The other alkene formed the original un-known alcohol when treated with BH3/THF followed by H2O2, HO-, and H2O. Identify the unknown alcohol.arrow_forwardAn unknown alcohol with a molecular formula of C7H14O was oxidized to an aldehyde with HOCl.

- Starting with acetylene and ethylene oxide as the only sources of carbon atoms, show how to prepare the compound Q.)1,6-Hexanediolarrow_forward(A true story.) A drug user responded to an ad placed by a DEA informant in a drug-culture magazine. He later flew fromColorado to Maryland, where he bought some 1-phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) from the informant. The police waited nearlya month for the suspect to synthesize something, then obtained a search warrant, and searched the residence. They foundthe unopened bottle of P2P; apparently, the suspect was not a good chemist and was unable to follow the instructions theinformant gave him. They also found pipes and bongs with residues of marijuana and cocaine, plus a bottle of methylamine hydrochloride, some muriatic acid (dilute HCl), zinc strips, flasks, and other equipment.(a) Assume you are consulting for the police. Show what synthesis the suspect was prepared to carry out, to provideprobable cause for the charge of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance.(b) Assume you are a member of the jury. Would you convict the defendant of attempting to manufacture a…arrow_forwardDraw a structural formula for compound. Q.) 2,2-Dimethylcyclohexanecarbaldehydearrow_forward
- Alcohol A (C10H18O) is converted to a mixture of alkenes B and C on being heated with potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4). Catalytic hydrogenation of B and C yields the same product. Assuming that dehydration of alcohol A proceeds without rearrangement, deduce the structures of alcohol A and alkene C.arrow_forwardWhich alkene would the following alcohols form upon dehydration reaction using POCl3 inpyridine?
