The reaction of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol (3,4-dimethylhexan-3-ol) with HBr generates compound A as the major product. Treatment of compound A with a strong base gives two isomers of compound B as the major product, along with one isomer of compound C and one isomer of compound D as minor products, all of which have one double-bond equivalent.
Identify compounds A, B, C, and D and give their names.
By what mechanism does the reaction of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol with HBr occur?
By what mechanism does the reaction of A with strong base to form B occur?
Propose reaction conditions for an alternative, one-step method for converting 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexanol directly to compound B.
On 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.
The sex attractant of the female housefly (Musca domestica) is called muscalure, and its structure follows. Outline a synthesis of muscalure, using the Wittig reaction. Will your synthesis lead to the required cis isomer?
