- Explain the Preparation of Dihalocarbenes ?arrow_forwardChemical compound A is an alkene that when treated with ozone followed by treatment of Zn in HOAc produces only (CH3CH2CH2) 2C = O. What is the structure of A? If A is reacted with peroxyacetic acid, what product would be obtained? Write the corresponding structure. Is this substance optically active? Please include a detailed explanation.arrow_forward4. Compound A has the formula C 8H 8. It reacts rapidly with KMnO 4 to give CO 2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C 7H 6O 2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H 2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H 2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C 8H 16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C.arrow_forward

If X is reacted with H2O catalyzed by H2SO4, what product is obtained? Write the structure, give the name, and write the complete mechanism, step by step of this reaction, in such a way as to explain the formation of the compound (DO NOT FORGET THE CORRECT USE OF ARROWS!).arrow_forwardExplain why (S)-2-butanol forms a racemic mixture when it is heated in sulfuric acid.arrow_forward1)Use the mechanism for the cobalt carbonyl hydride ( (HCo(CO)4 ) catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-hexene to illustrate how hexane can occur as a side product . 2)Outline how Fe(CO)5 can function as a catalyst for the water gas shift reaction ( CO + H2O ⇄ CO2 + H2 ) .arrow_forward
- In an advanced synthetic chemistry experiment, a researcher prepares a compound, ZY-7, by reacting a ketone (C5H10O) with hydroxylamine (NH2OH), followed by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst. The resulting compound, ZY-7, is then treated with a solution of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) at low temperature. Identify the class of compound that ZY-7 most likely belongs to after this series of reactions."
