Concept Introduction:
Alochol on oxidation yields a carbonyl compound. The resulting carbonyl compound is an aldehyde,
A primary alcohol is oxidized to a carbonyl compound containing an aldehyde group.
A secondary alcohol is oxidized to a carbonyl compound containing a keto group.
Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in dichloromethane, pyridinium dichromate (PDC) in dichloromethane are used in oxidizing primary and secondary alcohol to carbonyl compounds.
Phosphorous tribromide converts alcohols to alkyl bromides.

- Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forwardFollowing is the structural formula of the tranquilizer meparfynol (Oblivon). Propose a synthesis for this compound starting with acetylene and a ketone. (Notice the -yn- and -ol in the chemical name of this compound, indicating that it contains alkyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)arrow_forwardThree isomeric pentanols with unbranched carbon chains exist. Which of these isomers, upon dehydration at 180C, yields only 1-pentene as a product?arrow_forward
- Starting with acetylene and ethylene oxide as the only sources of carbon atoms, show how to prepare the compound Q.)1,6-Hexanediolarrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group.
