- Diazomethane, CH2N2, is used in the organic chemistry laboratory despite its danger because it produces very high yields and is selective for reaction with carboxylic acids. Write the products of the following reactions.arrow_forwardDraw the products formed when phenol(C6H5OH) is treated with each reagent. Give an explanation. d. (CH3CH2)2CHCOCl, AlCl3 j. product in (d), then NH2NH2, – OHarrow_forwardWhen trans-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, cyclohexene oxide is the product. However, when cis-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, the product is cyclohexanone –arrow_forward
- Explain why methyl trifluoroacetate, CF3CO2CH3, is more reactive than methyl acetate, CH3CO2CH3, in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.arrow_forwardThree constitutional isomers of molecular formula C 5H 8O can be converted to 1-pentanol (CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 2OH) on treatment with two equivalents of H 2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst. Draw the structures of the three possible compounds, all of which contain a carbonyl grouparrow_forwarda. What alkane, with molecular formula C5H12, forms only one monochlorinated product when it is heated with Cl2? b. What alkane, with molecular formula C7H16, forms seven monochlorinated products (disregarding stereoisomers) when heated with Cl2?arrow_forward
- Draw the products formed when phenol(C6H5OH) is treated with each reagent. Give an explanation. c. CH3CH2Cl, AlCl3 l. product in (c), then KMnO4arrow_forwardWhat reaction conditions are needed to convert (R)-2-ethyl-2-methyloxirane to (S)-2- methylbutane-1,2-diol ?arrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forward
- Explain the process of Conversion of hexan-2-ol to other compounds ?arrow_forwardDraw the following compounds: A) (2S,5R)-chloro-2-ethylhexanoic acid B) (1R,2R,4R)-4-ethylcyclohexane-1,2-diol C) (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-phenylbutanal D) (1S,2S,3R)-2-fluoro-3-propylcyclobutanol E) (2E,7Z)-5-bromo-2,7-nonadienearrow_forwardButylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservativeadded to cereals and other dry foods. Its systematic name is 1-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene (where “tert-butyl”is 1,1-dimethylethyl). Draw the structure of BHT.arrow_forward
