Starting with 2-methylpropene and using any other needed reagents, outline a synthesis of TWO from the following: a. (CH3)3COH b. (CH3)3CBr c. (CH3)2C(OH)CH2Cl 7. Three compounds A, B, and C all have the formula C6H10. All three compounds rapidly decolorize bromine in CC14; all three are soluble in cold concentrated sulfuric acid. Compound A has an absorption in its IR spectrum at about 3300 cm, but compounds B and C do not. Compounds A and B both yield hexane when they are treated with excess hydrogen in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Under these conditions C absorbs only one molar equivalent of hydrogen and gives a product with the formula C6H12. When A is oxidized with hot basic potassium permanganate and the resulting solution acidified, the only organic product that can be isolated is CH3(CH2) 3CO2H. Similar oxidation of B gives only CH3CH2CO₂H, and similar treatment of C gives only HO2C(CH2) 4CO2H. What are the structure for A, B, and C? 11
