Propose a series of reactions that will convert the given starting material into the given product. Make sure to draw the product of each successive reaction. For racemic molecules, you only need to draw one enantiomer. Each synthesis can be accomplished in three steps or less. a) methylcyclopentane → 1-methylcyclopentanol b) 4-bromo-1-butanol → 3-buten-1-ol c) bromocyclohexane → trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol (racemic)

Alcohols undergo an oxidation reaction to yield carbonyl compounds on treatment with CrO3. For example, 2-tert-butylcyclohexanol gives 2-tert-butylcyclohexanone. If axial OH groups are generally more reactive than their equatorial isomers, which do you think reacts faster, the cis isomer of 2-tert-butylcyclohexanol or the trans isomer? Explain.
Draw the product of the reaction between a ketone and an alcohol. Include all hydrogen atoms in the product. How would you classify the product of the reaction? Note that a hemiacetal formed from a ketone is also called a hemiketal; an acetal formed from a ketone is also called a ketal. The product is an alcohol. The product is a ketal The product is a ketone. The product is a hemiketal.

Mixing cyclohexanol with phosphoric acid is an exothermic process, whereas the production of cyclohexene is endothermic. Construct an energy diagram showing the course of this reaction. Label the diagram with the starting alcohol, the oxonium ion (the protonated alcohol), the carbocation, and the product.
Draw eugenol as a line structure. The double bonds of the benzene ring are fairly unreactive unless you use special catalysts. But the double bond on the side group is reactive. Draw the mechanism of eugenol reacting with HBr to form the two possible carbocation intermediates. Put your intermediates into square brackets. Label each carbocation as a methyl carbon or 1°, 2°, or 3°. Then circle a more stable carbocation if one is more stable. Can you guess what the final product is?
Synthesize the products by drawing out reagents and intermediates along the way.
