Propose a synthesis for this compound starting with acetylene and a ketone. (Notice
the -yn- and -ol in the chemical name of this compound, indicating that it contains al-
kyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)
Acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols proceeds through an E1 mechanism. The
first step is the protonation of the alcohol oxygen to form an oxonium ion.
Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol forms one major and two minor organic products. Draw the structures,

- 4. 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_forward5. Compound A, C 10H 18O, undergoes reaction with dilute H 2SO 4 at 50 °C to yield a mixture of two alkenes, C 10H 16.

- Dimethyl disulfide, CH,S–SCH3, found in the vaginal secretions of female hamsters, acts as a sexual attractant for the male hamster. Write an equation for its synthesis from methanethiol.arrow_forwardSome alcohols undergo rearrangement or other unwanted side reactions when they dehydrate in acid. Alcohols may be dehydrated under mildly basic conditions using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in pyridine. The alcohol reacts with phosphorus oxychloride much like it reacts with tosyl chloride, displacing a chloride ion from phosphorus to give an alkyl dichlorophosphate ester. The dichlorophosphate group is an outstanding leaving group. Pyridine reacts as a base with the dichlorophosphate ester to give an E2 elimination. Propose a mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol by POCl3 in pyridine.arrow_forwardFormaldehyde, H2C=O, is known to all biologists because of its usefulness as a tissue preservative. When pure, formaldehyde trimerizes to give trioxane, C3H6O3, which, surprisingly enough, has no carbonyl groups. Only one monobromo derivative (C3H5BrO3) of trioxane is possible. Propose a structure for trioxane.arrow_forward
- Nitromethane is reacted with ethyl prop-2-enoate with EtO-Na+, EtOH 3 equivalents to give the product X(C16).

The ketone 2-heptanone has been identified as contributing to the odor of a number of dairy products, including condensed milk and cheddar cheese. Describe the synthesis of 2-heptanone from acetylene and any necessary organic and inorganic reagents. 2. Compound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28). Sodium-ammonia reduction of compound B gave compound E (C14H26). Both C and E yielded O═CH(CH2)12CH═O on ozonolysis. Assign structures to compound A through E so as to be consistent with the observed transformations.arrow_forward
- A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.arrow_forwardEthers can be prepared by reaction of an alkoxide or phenoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide.

N,N'-dicyclohexylurea (DCU) is the dehydrating reagent that converts a carboxylic acid to the corresponding anhydride. ii. The fact that carbonyl compounds have a lower boiling point than alcohols with the same C atoms is because the molecular dipole moment of carbonyl compounds is less than that of alcohols. iii. 3-Methylbut-2-en-2-ol is the only tautomeric structure of 3- methylbutan-2-one.arrow_forward
