- Following are structural formulas and heats of combustion of acetaldehyde and ethylene oxide. Which of these compounds is more stable? Explain.arrow_forwardAn important step in one synthesis of carboxylic acids is the deprotonation of diethyl malonate and its alkyl-substituted derivative: Base CH;CH2O OCH,CH3 CH;CH,0 OCH2CH3 H2 Diethyl malonate Base CH;CH,0 °C `OCH,CH3 CH;CH,O OCH,CH3 R Alkyl substituted diethyl malonate NaOH can deprotonate diethyl malonate effectively, but NaOC(CH3)3 is typically used to deprotonate the alkyl-substituted derivative. Explain why.arrow_forwardGive the IUPAC name of the following compounds:arrow_forward
- Draw a structural formula for an alkene with the indicated molecular formula that gives the compound shown as the major product (more than one alkene may give the same compound as the major product).arrow_forwardChlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?arrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octetarrow_forward
- 4. A student was asked to prepare an alkene X in high yield using any alcohol as starting material CH3 CH,-C -CH=CH, CH3 X He chose 3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol (XI) and carried out a dehydration reaction. He was however horrified to note that the only alkene obtained was XII. CH3 OH CH3 CH;-C=C-CH3 conc. H,SO4 CH-CH3 heat CH3 CH3 XI XII i) Explain what went wrong here, and why X could not be formed from 3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol. Use structures to help support your answer. ii) Give an equation to show a much better method for preparing X in high yield. 5. Analyze the following structure and write one combination for Grignard reagent and a carbonyl that would give rise to it. CH,-CH,-OHarrow_forwardDraw the structures of the following molecules: (a) trans-l-Bromo-3-methylcyclohexane (b) cis-1, 2-Dimethylcyclobutane (c) trans-1 -tert-Butyl-2-ethylcyclohexanearrow_forwardShow the structure of the major and minor products of the following reactions:arrow_forward
- Choose 2 of the 3 compounds and provide a synthesis starting with benzene and any other carbon compound with four or less carbons.arrow_forwardGive the major product(s) of the following reaction. 1) KMNO4, OH", heat ? 2) H30* A OH Но C D 오 Barrow_forwardHow would you convert cyclohexane to benzene?arrow_forward
