![### Organic Reaction Exercises
#### Exercise e)
- **Reactants:**
- A complex organic compound:
```
CH₃
|
CH₃CCH₂CH₂CCH₃
| |
CH₃ OCH₂CH₃
|
CH₃
```
- Water (H₂O)
- **Conditions:**
- Presence of an acid catalyst
- **Question:** Determine the product formed under acidic conditions.
#### Exercise f)
- **Reactants:**
- Two identical thiol compounds:
```
CH₃
|
CH₃CHCHCH₃
| |
SH SH
```
- **Conditions:**
- Oxidizing conditions ([O] represents an oxidizing agent)
- **Question:** Identify the product formed upon oxidation.
#### Exercise g)
- **Reactants:**
- Two identical ketone compounds:
```
O O
|| ||
CH₃CHCCH₂CH₃ + CH₃CHCCH₂CH₃
| | | |
CH₃ CH₃
```
- **Conditions:**
- Presence of a NaOH catalyst
- **Question:** Determine the product formed under these conditions.
### Explanation:
The exercises above require understanding of fundamental concepts in organic chemistry. Key reactions to consider are:
- **Hydrolysis** in acidic conditions (Exercise e).
- **Oxidation** of thiols to disulfides (Exercise f).
- **Aldol condensation** or other base-catalyzed reactions involving ketones (Exercise g).
Students are encouraged to draw reaction mechanisms and predict products based on their knowledge of organic functional group transformations.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2c98f3ef-62be-46e3-974a-9aed57987b3e%2F42d88153-f5e5-4853-8ade-98277f0265ff%2F9h5leebe_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
