- Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.arrow_forwardTunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):arrow_forwardOChem help with IUPAC names involving Ph and Bn The phenyl group (Ph-R, C6H5-R) can be formed by removing a hydrogen from benzene and attaching a substituent to where the hydrogen was removed. The benzyl group (abbv. Bn), similar to the phenyl group, is formed by manipulating the benzene ring. In the case of the benzyl group, it is formed by taking the phenyl group and adding a CH2 group to where the hydrogen was removed. Its molecular fragment can be written as C6H5CH2-R, PhCH2-R, or Bn-R. Please provide the IUPAC name for the following: (Ph)2CHC(CH3)2CC(CH2)3CH(Bn)CHOarrow_forward

Task 10:42. In (a) I have to tell what the funcion of K2CO3 is in step 1. Is it that CO32- take the hydrogen atom in 1-napthol? Will it then be a SN2 mechanism? In (b) I have to name the amine used in step 2 to form Propanolol. But I can't really find out how to come up with an amine that will make that reaction. Here are two pictures of the task:arrow_forwardThe compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms?

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.

- Alcohols can undergo a lot of different reaction mechanims. If the alcohol group (OH) is attaached to an aromatic core, how will the chemistry change as compared to a typical alkyl alcohol? A) The OH group will become more polarised and more nucleophilic. B) The OH group will become more susceptible to oxidation C) The OH group will become more polarised and therefore basic D) The OH group will become more polarised and therefore acidic.arrow_forwardCompound B has molecular formula C9H10.
