- 2, 3-Dimethyl-2, 3-butanediol has the common name pinacol. On heating with aqueous acid, pinacol rearranges to pinacolone, 3, 3-dimethyl-2-butanone. Suggest a mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardTreatment of p-tert-butylphenol with a strong acid such as H2SO4 yields phenol and 2-methylpropene. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forwardTreatment of 3-methylcyclohexene with HCl yields two products, 1-chloro-3methylcyclohexane and 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane. Draw a mechanism to explain this result.arrow_forward

However, they are activated in the liver by a class of iron-containing enzymes (members of the cytochrome P-450 family). Activation involves the oxidation of a C-H bond next to the amine nitrogen to a C-OH group.
