- Treatment of p-tert-butylphenol with a strong acid such as H2SO4 yields phenol and 2-methylpropene. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forward2, 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_forwardWhen cis-2-decalone is dissolved in ether containing a trace of HCl, an equilibrium is established with trans-2-decalone. The latter ketone predominates in the equilibrium mixture. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization and account for the fact that the trans isomer predominates at equilibrium.arrow_forward
- Select the necessary reagent(s) for the following transformation. a. K2Cr2O7 b. NaOH c. I2 d. Cu^2+ e. H+/H2O f. H2/Ptarrow_forwardWhen (CH3CH2)3CBr is added to CH3OH at room temperature, the major product is (CH3O)C(CH2CH3)3 and a minor product is CH3CH=C(CH2CH3)2. Propose a mechanism for the product that is formed by the substitution reaction. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons.arrow_forwardKk.17. Please show mechanisms/workarrow_forward
- Propose mechanisms and show the expected products of the following reactions.(a) 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene + sodium methoxide (NaOCH3)(b) 2,4-dimethylchlorobenzene + sodium hydroxide, 350 °Carrow_forwardTreatment of (CH3)2CHCH(OH)CH2CH3 with TsOH affords two products(M and N) with molecular formula C6H12. The 1H NMR spectra of M and Nare given below. Propose structures for M and N, and draw a mechanismto explain their formation.arrow_forwardPropose mechanisms and show the expected products of the following reactions. 2,4@dimethylchlorobenzene + sodium hydroxide, 350 °Carrow_forward
