- Name, draw and describe the organic product of the reaction between 2-methylbut-1-ene and H2O in the presence of H2SO4 and provide a clear rationale as to why this is the major product of the reaction and the minor product of the reaction.arrow_forwardIsoprene has sometimes been used as a starting material in the laboratory synthesis of terpenes. In one such synthesis, the first step is the electrophilic addition of 2 mol of hydrogen bromide to isoprene to give 1,3-dibromo-3-methylbutane.Write a series of equations describing the mechanism of this reaction.arrow_forwardgive the degree of unsaturation of the compounds: Vanillin(C8H8O3) and ethyl ethocyacetate (C6H12O3). and draw their structuresarrow_forward
- Suggest the synthetic sequences for the preparation of 2,3-dibromopent-2-ene, from prop-1-yne.arrow_forwardUsing benzene and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents, suggest efficient syntheses of (a) Isobutylbenzene, C6H5CH2CH(CH3)2 (b) (2,2-Dimethylpropyl)benzene, C6H5CH2C(CH3)3arrow_forwardA compound A, C7H12, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over platinum catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, C7H16. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C5H10O2. Write the reactions and draw structures for A, B and C.arrow_forward
- Acrolein and 1,3-cyclohexadiene react in a one-step concerted manner to yield a single product. Give the structure of the product. What kind of reaction is this an example of? In terms of this reaction, how would you classify acrolein? How would you classify 1,3-cyclohexadiene? Hint: acrolein is not a systematic name so you may need to look up its structure if you are not already familiar with it.arrow_forwardOn being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) produced a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each of which had the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of major isomer B or minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures and mechanisms for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forwardHydrocarbon S, C8H8 reacts with hydrogen in the presence of platinum catalyst to yield T, C8H10. Compound U is formed when T is heated with alkaline potassium permanganate solution, followed by hydrolysis. The reaction of S with hydrogen bromide V, whereas ozonolysis of S produces W and methanal. Draw the structures of S to W. Give the name of the reaction for the conversion of S to T. Write all chemical equations involved.arrow_forward
- Compound A is a branched-chain alcohol that undergoes oxidation to produce compound B. Compound B is a ketone that gives positive triiodomethane reaction. Compound B is then reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide, C6H5MgBr in the presence of aqueous acid to form compound C. Compound C has the molecular formula of C11H16O (i) Deduce the structure for compound A, B and C. (ii) State the observation when compound C is added with acidified potassium dichromate(VI).arrow_forwardYou are given a mixture of benzoic acid, 2-naphthol and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and you are asked to separate the mixture into its following compounds. You are limited to using dichloromethane, pentane, cyclohexane and ethyl acetate as organic solvents. This doesn't involve solvents used to convert the 3 compounds to ionic salts. Suggest possible organic solvents and explain a procedure you would carry out to separate the 3 mixtures briefly.arrow_forwardCompound A (C5H8) readily reacts with bromine (Br2) at room temperature to discharge the purple colour of bromine and form Compound B (C5H8Br2). When Compound A is treated with H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, it is converted to compound C (C5H10). When treated with HCl, compound A is converted to compound D (C5H9Cl). B, Cand D are saturated compounds. Given this information, propose structural formulas for compounds A, B, C, and D.arrow_forward
