Chapter 12, Problem 12.24SP

covered a synthesis of alkynes by a double dehydrohalogenation of dihalides. A student tried to convert trans-2,5-dimethylhex-3-ene to 2,5-dimethylhex-3-yne by adding bromine across the double bond and then doing a double elimination. The infrared and mass spectra of the major product are shown here.

  1. a. Do the spectra confirm the right product? If not, what is it?
  2. b. Explain the important peaks in the IR spectrum.

Why we need step 3 before step 4? a. Because the nitro group increases the electrophilicity at the ortho positions which is where the bromine is added. b. Because the amine group is a strong ortho, para director which is what controls the regiochemical outcome of this bromination. c. Step 4 is unessesary. The symmetry of compound 3 allows for the bromination to be regioselective and give compound 5. 5. There will be a mixture of products because there is no selectivity for a major product.
Explain why the following reaction is not a good way to prepare 1-phenylpentane: benzene + 1-chloropentane + AlCl3 → 1-phenylpentane In your scratch work, give the full, curved-arrow mechanistic explanation of what would happen, and indicate what would likely be your main product or products.
When the allylic alkyl bromide shown below is heated in ethanol solvent, the major elimination product isolated is the diene shown below.  A) Propose a mechanism to account for this overall transformation. Use normal curved arrows to show movement of electron pairs and be sure to draw structures for all important reaction intermediates. If an intermediate is a resonance hybrid, draw all important contributing resonance structures. B) The same alkyl bromide shown above also yields several substitution products when subjected the reaction conditions described above. Draw the structure of the major substitution product that would be isolated in the box on the product side of the reaction arrow. The second picture is for the B part of the question
