What happens to the rate of this reaction under the following conditions?(a) The concentration of NaOH is doubled.(b) The concentrations of both NaOH and 1-bromopropane are doubled.(c) The volume of the solution in which the reaction is carried out is doubled.
4) Propose a synthetic pathway to prepare 2-methyl-propan-2-ol from propane. You're allowed to use any reagents you like but all the carbon atoms in your product should come from the propane. он It must be propanone otherwise the conversion would be too long.
By chlorinating 20 g of tert-butyl alcohol, 13 g of tert-butyl chloride were obtained. Calculate the yield of the product obtained.(Molecular weights, (CH3) 3COH = 77; (CH3) 3CCl = 96.5)Write down the necessary reactions.
Compound A, CH10, was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a Pd/C catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute H,SO, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B, CH4 was produced as the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. Product C, C,H,0, was shown to be an aldehyde while product D, CHg0, was shown to be a ketone. Draw the structure of compound C. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. In cases where there is more than one answer, jtust draw one.

Draw the structure of (2Z, 6E)-3-ethyl-7-methyldeca-2, 6-dien-1-ol, the sex pheromone of the codling moth, a common agricultural pest that destroys apple crops. By spraying an apple orchard with this pheromone, the mating of male and female moths is disrupted, and moth populations can be controlled.
