(a)
Interpretation:
1-Heptanol is synthesised using given synthetic scheme has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The Lindlar catalyst is a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst that stops alkyne hydrogenation at the alkene stage, allowing conversion of
Hydroboration–protonolysis is an alternative way to prepare a cis-alkene from an alkyne.
(b)
Interpretation:
2-Heptanol is synthesised using given synthetic scheme has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The Lindlar catalyst is a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst that stops alkyne hydrogenation at the alkene stage, allowing conversion of alkynes to cis-alkenes. Hydroboration followed by an acid workup (instead of basic peroxide) also gives cis-alkenes from alkynes. Hydroboration–protonolysis is an alternative way to prepare a cis-alkene from an alkyne.

State any organic or inorganic reagents that will be necessary for the synthesis.arrow_forwardDescribe and provide a detailed mechanism (use arrow pushing) for the preparation of 2-methyl- 1-butene and 2-methyl-2-butenearrow_forward
- Given the sequence of reactions shown below assume the reactions are stoichiometric fill in the reagents needed for steps A B and C and explain what happens in each step of the reactions, by also namearrow_forwardCan you provide the mechanism and explain with an example for those reagents?arrow_forwardGive a clear handwritten answer...complete the following reactions with detailed explanation neededarrow_forward
- Based on the theoretical discussion, illustrate with equations: a. How ethers are broken down by zinc chloridearrow_forwardA student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Bradyarrow_forwardProvide a mechanism which explains the following conversions. Include all intermediates (where appropriate) and watch your arrows and chargesarrow_forward

Hence deduce the name and structural formula of the compounds C and I. Compare the procedure for converting F and E to G.arrow_forwardBelow are two potential methods for preparing the same ether (Option A and B), but only one of them is actually successful.
