Chapter FRP, Problem 21P

An alkane (A) with the formula C 6 H 14 reacts with chlorine to yield three compounds with the formula C 6 H 13 C l ; B, C, and D. Of these only C and D undergo dehydrohalogenation with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to produce an alkene. Moreover C and D yield the same alkene E ( C 6 H 12 ) . Hydrogenation of E produces A. Treating E with HCl produces a compound (F) that is an isomer of B, C, and D. Treating F with magnesium in dry ether followed by aqueous acid gives a compound (G) that is isomeric with A. Propose structures for A-G.

Propose the structure of the following: a. An alkane, C6H14 b. A crylic saturated hydrocarbon, C6H12 c. A diene (dialkene), C5H8 d.  A keto alkene, C5H8O
Compound A(C7H15Br) is not a primary alkyl bromide. It yields a single alkene(compound B) on being heated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Hydrogenation of compound B yields 2,4-dimethylpentane. Identify compounds A and B.
4. Compound A has the formula C 8H 8.  It reacts rapidly with KMnO 4 to give CO 2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C 7H 6O 2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H 2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst.  On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H 2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C 8H 16) is produced.  What are the structures of A, B, and C.
