Chapter 18.SE, Problem 62GP
The Zeisel method is an old analytical procedure for determining the number of methoxyl groups in a compound. A weighed amount of the compound is heated with concentrated HI, ether cleavage occurs, and the iodomethane product is distilled off and passed into an alcohol solution of AgNO3, where it reacts to form a precipitate of silver iodide. The Agl is then collected and weighed, and the percentage of methoxyl groups in the sample is thereby determined. For example, 1.06 g of vanillin, the material responsible for the characteristic odor of vanilla, yields 1.60 g of Agl. If vanillin has a molecular weight of 152, how many methoxyl groups does it contain?

- Phineas and Ferbs, two brothers who enjoy vacations, doing fun things every summer. This summer the brothers and their friends carry out an organic synthesis with an unknown compound (L1) that contains 52% Carbon, 6% Hydrogen and 42% bromine, this compound (L1) is treated with magnesium in ether to obtain L2 , which reacts violently with D2O for 1-methyl cyclohexene with a deuterium atom in the methyl group (L3). The L2 reaction is treated with acetone followed by hydrolysis to give L4. Heating L4 with concentrated sulfuric acid gives L5, which decolors the bromine, obtaining L6. L5 undergoes hydrogenation with excess hydrogen and platinum as a catalyst giving rise to isobutyl cyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds L1 through L6.arrow_forwardWhat aldehyde or ketone is needed to prepare each alcohol by metal hydride reduction?arrow_forwardDesribe the reaction product.arrow_forward

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_forward
