(a)
Interpretation:
The product formed in the reaction of 1-Hexanol with chromic acid has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation of alcohols: Oxidation of primary alcohol gives an
Chromic acid Oxidation of an Alcohol:
Step 1: Reaction of alcohol and chromic acid gives an alkyl chromate. No change in oxidation state of both Carbon and Chromium.
Step 2: Take a proton away and simultaneously break bonds to give stable molecules or ions. Reaction of the alkyl chromate with a base (here water molecule) results in cleavage of a
(b)
Interpretation:
The product formed in the reaction of 2-Hexanol with chromic acid has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation of alcohols: Oxidation of primary alcohol gives an aldehyde or a carboxylic acid, depending on experimental conditions.
Chromic acid Oxidation of an Alcohol:
Step 1: Reaction of alcohol and chromic acid gives an alkyl chromate. No change in oxidation state of both Carbon and Chromium.
Step 2: Take a proton away and simultaneously break bonds to give stable molecules or ions. Reaction of the alkyl chromate with a base (here water molecule) results in cleavage of a
(c)
Interpretation:
The product formed in the reaction of Cyclohexanol with chromic acid has to be drawn.

- 4. Which of the following has a higher boiling point? Explain your answer:(a) 2-propanol or 2-butanol(b) Dimethyl ether or ethanolarrow_forward1. Esters can be formed by the condensation of a carboxylic acid with the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol. a) Use structures to show the condensation of acetic acid (IUPAC: ethanoic acid) with the hydroxyl of cyclohexanol. b) Explain why 'condensation' is an appropriate name for this reaction. c) You'll synthesize the ester in aspirin by condensing the phenol group of salicylic acid not with acetic acid, but with acetic anhydride. Explain why the experiment calls for the use of an anhydride, rather than an acid.arrow_forward1)arrow_forward

The molecules shown below are four terpineol isomers. They are isolated from plants and have distinct aromas. For example, a -terpineol is a common perfume ingredient and smells similar to lilacs. Hol H-O- a-terpineol B-terpineol Y-terpineol 4-terpineol A) Draw a structural isomer of terpineol that meet the following criteria. You should draw one unique structure for each set. You must draw each molecule twice, once as a skeletal structure and once as a complete Lewis structure showing all atoms, bonds, and lone pairs of electrons. i. Does not have a ring. ii. Has an E alkene. iii. Has a secondary alcohol. iv. Does not contain an alcohol. B) Draw a complete Lewis structure of a-terpineol showing all bonds, atoms and lone pairs of electrons.arrow_forward
