ould you expect the reactivity of a five-membered ring ether such as tetrahydrofuran to be more similar to the reactivity of an epoxide or to the reactivity of a noncyclic ether? Why?
Kepone, aldrin, and chlordane are synthesized from hexachlorocyclopentadiene and other five-membered-ring compounds. Show how these three pesticides are composed of two five-membered rings.
1-pentanol + HBr -> 1-bromopentane
Is this substitution reaction reversible? In other words, would one expect to obtain an equilibrium mixture of the alcohol and bromoalkene at the end of the reaction of would one expect this reaction to go to completion? Justify your answer?
