Primary alcohols can react with certain alkenes to give ethers. If a primary alcohol reacts with dihydropyran in the presence of acid only Product A is formed. Why is A formed over B? And what is the product of the reaction if N-propyl alcohol is the alcohol? H+ + FOR H OR A + B OR H

A test tube contains an alcohol which is colorless and clear. When a solution of Na2Cr₂O7 is added to this test tube, the following is observed: How would you interpret this test result? This is a negative dichromate test, which means that the alcohol is NOT an alcohol which can be oxidized. This is a negative dichromate test, which means that the alcohol IS an alcohol which can be oxidized. This is a positive dichromate test, which means that the alcohol is NOT an alcohol which can be oxidized. This is a positive dichromate test, which means that the alcohol IS an alcohol which can be oxidized.

Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.
