Interpretation:
The expected structure of the product from the reaction of isopropyl benzene with each of the given reagents is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogenation of benzene requires three molar equivalents of hydrogen. The product formed is cyclohexane.
Reaction of sodium and ethanol in liquid ammonia reduces arenes to dienes which are non-conjugated.
Alkyl substituents, if any, are present on the double bond in the conjugated diene formed.
Sodium dichromate, in the presence of sulfuric acid, forms chromic acid which is an oxidizing agent. It oxidizes alkyl side chain of benzenes, which have at least one benzylic hydrogen, to carboxylic acid group.

- Compound A, C3H7Br, does not react with cold dilute potassium permanganate solution. Upon treatment with potassium hydroxide in ethanol, A gives only product B, C3H6. Unlike A, B decolourises potassium permanganate solution. Ozonolysis of Bgives C, C2H4O, and D, CH2O. Suggest the structural formulae of A, B, C and D.Write the equations for all the reactions involved.arrow_forwardCompound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28). Sodium-ammonia reduction of compound B gave compound E (C14H26). Both C and E yielded O═CH(CH2)12CH═O on ozonolysis. Assign structures to compound A through E so as to be consistent with the observed transformations.arrow_forwardReaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol.
