Question
Draw the structural formula(s) for the major product(s) of each of the following reactions. Unless required, ignore stereochemical details
![**(j)**
- **Reactants**:
- A methylcyclohexene compound
- Methanol (\(CH_3OH\))
- **Arrow and Conditions**: The reaction is carried out in the presence of sulfuric acid (\(H_2SO_4\)).
- **Description**: This is likely an acid-catalyzed reaction involving the addition of methanol to the double bond of the cyclohexene ring, possibly resulting in an ether formation.
---
**(k)**
- **Reactants**:
- A methylcyclopentene compound
- Acetic acid (\(CH_3COOH\))
- **Arrow**: The reaction proceeds in one direction with no additional reagents explicitly mentioned.
- **Description**: This may represent an esterification or similar reaction involving the addition of the acetic acid to the alkene, potentially forming an acetate ester derivative.
---
**(l)**
- **Reactants**:
- Cyclohexene
- Trifluoroacetoxymercury acetate \((CF_3COO)_2Hg\) in methanol (\(CH_3OH\))
- **Conditions**: Followed by the addition of sodium borohydride (\(NaBH_4\)).
- **Description**: This sequence likely represents an oxymercuration-demercuration process. Initially, the alkene undergoes oxymercuration forming an organomercury intermediate, which is then reduced by sodium borohydride to yield an alcohol.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb0df802c-9803-4481-8041-50b6bc33f212%2F0ed69fdd-77c2-458f-a687-5c9f2bd2194c%2Fq6frljq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
