- 17-36 Explain why the reduction of an aldehyde always gives a primary alcohol and the reduction of a ketone always gives a secondary alcohol.arrow_forward17-70 What simple chemical test could you use to distinguish between the members of each pair of com pounds? Tell what you would do, what you would expect to observe, and how you would interpret your experimental observation. (a) Benzaldehyde and cyclohexanone (b) Acetaldehyde and acetonearrow_forward17-73 Alcohols can be prepared by the acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes (Section 12-6B) and by the reduction of aldehydes and ketones (Section 17-4B). Show how you might prepare each of the following alcohols by (1) acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene and (2) reduction of an aldehyde or a ketone. (a) Ethanol (b) Cyclohexanol (c) 2-Propanol (d) 1-Phenylethanolarrow_forward
- 17-26 Account for the fact that acetone has a higher boiling point (56°C) than ethyl methyl ether (11°C) even though their molecular weights are almost the same.arrow_forward17-3 1 Draw a structural formula for the principal organic product formed when each compound is treated with K2Cr2O7/H2SO4. If there is no reaction, say so. (a) Butanal (b) Benzaldehyde (c) Cyclohexanone (d) Cyclohexanolarrow_forward17-33 What simple chemical test could you use to distinguish between the members of each pair of com pounds? Tell what you would do, what you would expect to observe, and how you would interpret your experimental observation. (a) Pentanal and 2-pentanone (b) 2-Pentanone and 2-pentanolarrow_forward
- In addition to not undergoing substitution reactions, the alkyl bromide shown in Problem 11-32 also fails to undergo an elimination reaction when treated with base. Explain.arrow_forwardPropyl alcohol will be oxidized to propanaldehyde using I. PCC II. LiAlH4 III. NaBH4 IV. KMnO4arrow_forwardGive the structures of the products you would expect when each alcohol reacts with (1) HCl, ZnCl2; (2) HBr; (3) PBr3; (4) P/I2; and (5) SOCl2. (a) 2,2-dimethylbutan-1-ol (b) cis-3-methylcyclopentanolarrow_forward
- Show the reagents required to form the primary alcohol in each of the following reactions. Which of the reactions cannot be used for the synthesis of isobutyl alcohol?arrow_forwardTrue or False1. As the alkyl chain increases in molecular weight among primary alcohol, the solubility in water increases2. An ethoxide ion exhibits greater proton-accepting property compared to an ethyloxonium ion3. Phenol is mroe acidic than cyclohexyl alcohol due to the electron-donating ability of phenolic oxygenarrow_forwardPredict the major products formed when benzene reacts (just once) with the following reagents. isobutyl alcohol + BF3arrow_forward
