- Write the products of the following sequences of reactions. Refer to your reaction road-map to see how the combined reactions allow you to navigate between the different functional groups.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardFollowing is the structural formula of the tranquilizer meparfynol (Oblivon). 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 alkyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)arrow_forward
- You are required to synthesize 2-bromopentane from the reaction between an alkene with HBr. Which alkene, 1-pentene or 2-pentene, should you react with HBr in order to get 2-bromopentane? Give an explanation.arrow_forwardThe alcohol given below yields three alkene products upon dehydration. Which of the products will be present in the highest quantity?arrow_forwardCCH H20, H2SO4 H9SO4 CH3 Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions Hjö: -CH3 -CH3 H3O*arrow_forward
- 3) A common practice that organic chemists work on is a process known as retrosynthesis. In this a chemist will take known reactants and devise a synthetic pathway to produce the desired products using reactions that they know. As you proceed through organic chemistry you will be tasked with thinking about this process. How would you make the desired final product starting from the alkyne. It will take a couple of reactions. Please show the reagents necessary. And for your last step please show the arrow pushing. Starting material Br Product Br ...arrow_forward2-chloropropane is a major product of the reaction of chlorine with propane under ultraviolet light. Write the mechanism for this reaction including the initiation step and the two propagation steps.arrow_forwardWe are synthesizing an Alcohol by Hydrating an Alkene, We are using hex-1-ene and sulfuric acid. What possible products would come from this and how do I know which is the major?arrow_forward
- 3) Starting from any alkene, show how you could arrive at molecular entities containing the corresponding functional groups aldehyde, alkyne or ester.arrow_forwardDraw the overall reaction of 2-bromo-2-methylpropane with H2O to give the alcohol product. Include all by-products that form.arrow_forwardA student prepares a reaction in which hexane is converted to 1,3-hexadiene. In this reaction, what process does hexane undergo? Please explain in detail.arrow_forward
