Chapter 10.4, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the major organic products formed by free-radical bromination of each of the given compounds is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

>

Halogenation of alkanes proceeds though the formation of free radicals and the product formation depends on the stability of the free radical intermediate.

>

The tertiary free radicals are more stable than primary and secondary free radicals.

>

In the free radical bromination of alkanes, preferably, the tertiary hydrogen is replaced by bromine.

Write a stepwise mechanism for each of the following reactions. Explainwhy a more stable alkyne (but-2-yne) is isomerized to a less stablealkyne (but-1-yne), but under similar conditions, 2,5-dimethylhex-3-yneforms 2,5-dimethylhexa-2,3-diene.
Ozonolysis of compound D will produce compound E and compound F as products. Hydrationof compound D will produce compound G as major product. Compound D is a major productobtained from dehydrohalogenation of 2-chloro-3-methylbutane. a) Identify the structural formula for compound D, E, F and G.b) Suggest suitable reagent(s) and condition(s) needed for dehydrohalogenation of 2-chloro-3-methylbutane
Muscalure, the sex attractant of the common housefly, is cis-tricos-9-ene. Most syntheses of alkenes give the more stabletrans isomer as the major product. Devise a synthesis of muscalure from acetylene and other compounds of your choice.Your synthesis must give specifically the cis isomer of muscalure
