Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

According to the given reaction, using curved arrows and showing all the unshared electron pair each elementary step for the preparation of tert-butyl chloride using aqueous hydrochloric acid is to be shown. Make sure the structural formulas are written in bond line format.

Concept introduction:

The alcohol on reaction with hydrogen halide gives corresponding alkyl halide.

The reaction of alcohol with hydronium ion and chloride ion resembles with that of alcohol and hydrogen halide.

The mechanism of reaction of tertiary alcohols with aqueous hydrogen halide is a series of three elementary steps.

Each step in the mechanism of reaction is called elementary step.

In the presence of acid such as H2SO4, 3,4-dimethyl-1-pentene undergoes isomerization to 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene (shown below). Write a complete mechanism, showing all steps and using curved arrows to explain this observation.
Draw the reaction mechanism of conversion of compound 4a to 4b. Indicate what type of reaction mechanism. Write conditions and reagents used if there are any. Provide brief background in every step of the reaction mechanism.
The bicyclo [3.1.0] hexane ring system, highlighted in compound 3, is found in several natural products, including sabinene, a compound partially responsible for the flavor of ground black pepper. One method for preparing this ring system involves the conversion of compound 1 to compound 2, as shown below. Draw the structure of compound 2 and provide a reasonable mechanism for its formation. Add any remaining curved arrows to complete step one of the mechanism, and modify the given drawing as needed to show the intermediate that is formed in this step.
