### 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.
