- What is the major monosubstitution product from the Friedel—Crafts reaction of benzene with 1 -chloro-2-methylpropane in the presence of AlCl3?arrow_forwardCompound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr) which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (Ch3COCH3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2SO4 gives E (C10H16), which reacts with 2 equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and Pt catalyst to give 2-methylpropylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout.arrow_forwardPredict the structure of product obtained when cis-2-hexene is allowed to react with Zn/CH2I2.arrow_forward
- When sodium methoxide base and hydrogen bromide are removed from trans-1-bromo 2-methyl cyclohexane, considering the conformation of the starting compound, find the product that will be formed by writing and explaining the mechanism of the reaction.arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of cis-jasmone, a natural product isolated from jasmine owers, formed by treatment of alkyne A with H2 in the presence of the Lindlar catalyst?arrow_forwardAn optically active monoterpene (compound A) with molecular formula C10H18O undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to form an optically inactive compound with molecular formula C10H20O (compound B). When compound B is heated with acid, followed by reaction with O3 and then with dimethyl sulfide, one of the products obtained is 4-methylcyclohexanone. Give possible structures for compounds A and B.arrow_forward
- What is the structure of cis-jasmone, a natural product isolated from jasmine flowers, formed by treatment of alkyne A with H2 in the presence of the Lindlar catalyst?arrow_forwardDescribe a sequence of reactions by which hept-1-yne can be straightforwardly prepared from hept-1-ene.arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon decolorizes bromine in CCl4CCl4, and it undergoes catalytic reduction to give cis-decalin. When treated with warm, concentrated potassium permanganate, this compound gives cis-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid. Propose a structure for the unknown compound.arrow_forward
- Compound A (C9H12) absorbs three equivalents of H2 on a Catalina reduction over a palladium catalyst to give propylcyclohexane. On ozonolysis, compound A give the two products shown below. On treatment with NH2 , NH3 followed by addition of 1_bromo4methylpentane, compound A gave a new hydrocarbon,B (c5H24 ). What are the structures of compound A and B?arrow_forwardElimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of but-1-ene and but-2-ene. With sodium ethoxide as base, but2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the alkene products. Offer an explanation for this difference.arrow_forwardalkylation of benzene with 1-chlorobutane in the presence of AlCl3 gives both butylbenzene and (1-methylpropyl)benzene as products. Propose a route to butylbenzene from benzene that does not also give the (1-methylpropyl)benzene side-product.arrow_forward
