Question
Problem 34 can u explain and solve thanks april 24

Transcribed Image Text:32. An unknown compound with a molecular formula of C8H18 reacts with
chlorine in the presence of light and heat. From the reaction
mixture only one monochlorination product (i.e., only one compound
with the formula C8H17C1) can be isolated. What is the most likely
dichloro-,
structure of the original unknown compound? (Note:
trichloro-, and higher chlorinated products are also isolated, but
consideration of these is unnecessary.)
A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2 CH2 CH2CH3

As a result of the oxidative cleavage of compound Y (by using KMnO4 / H2SO4), a single carboxylic acid derivative with C4H8O2 molecular formula is formed. Again, as a result of the reaction of Y with perbenzoic acid, the chiral compound C8H14O is observed, but the reaction of compound Y with bromine gives the achiral C8H14Br2 as the product.arrow_forward
