- The C-O bond is much shorter in phenol than in ethanol. Give reason.arrow_forwardPyrethrins, such as jasmolin II (shown below), are a group of natural compounds that are synthesized by flowers of the genus Chrysanthemum (known as pyrethrum flowers) to act as insecticides. CH3 CH2=CH-CH. CH-C- -HCS 0-CH, CH,-C H2C- ČH, Which is not a functional group or structural feature in jasmolin II? cycloalkane carboxylic acid ester alkenearrow_forwardDefine Propan-2-ol (CH3)2CHOH) ?arrow_forward
- Illustrate this phenomenon, compare ethane (CH3CH3), ethylene (CH2=CH2), and acetylene (HC=CH).arrow_forwardDiethyl ether and butan-1-ol are isomers, and they have similar solubilities in water. Their boiling points are very different, however. Explain why these two compounds have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points.

In a laboratory experiment, 3.80 mL of this compound was treated with 4.80 mL of conc. H2SO4 (100% w/w; molar mass 98.08 g/mol). Note that the density of conc. H2SO4 is 1.84 g/mL. The resulting sulfate ester was then treated with 1.20 mL of water (molar mass 18.02 g/mol) affording, after work- up, 2,4-pentanediol (molar mass 104.15 g/mol) as the crude product. The crude product was then purified by simple distillation, which yielded 2.00 g of pure product. a. Provide a balanced chemical equation to show the reaction between 1,4-pentadiene and sulfuric acid. Do not use molecular formulas in the chemical equation except for sulfuric acid. b.

- Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.arrow_forwardAlkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration.
