- When 2-pentene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed. Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).arrow_forwardCan this alcohol be synthesized selectively by hydroboration-oxidation of an alkene?arrow_forwardOzonolysis (O3 in CH2Cl2) of compound A under reducing conditions (Zn /acetic acid) gives formaldehyde, 2-butanone, and compound B. Catalytic hydrogenation (H2/Pd) of A gives 2,7-dimethylnonane. What is a possible structure for compound A? a. 2,7-Dimethyl-2,8-nonadieneb. 2,7-Dimethyl-1,8-nonadienec. 2,7-Dimethyl-1,6-nonadiened. 2,7-Dimethyl-1,7-nonadienearrow_forward
- 12.Use of KMnO, to effect oxidative cleave of the alkene J, C3H16, yields two fragments, one of which is butanoic acid and the other a ketone, Q. When J reacts with one molar equivalent of H-Cl, the alkyl halide K, C3H17CI, is formed. What are the structures of J, J, and Q? Write all the reactions, and show your reasoning.arrow_forwardМЕСНANISMS 1,2-epoxy-1-methylcyclopentane undergoes both acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed opening of the epoxide ring to form two different products. > Using ethanol as the solvent and an appropriate acid, show the steps in the acid catalyzed mechanism, writing structures for all products of the steps.

- Draw a structural formula of an alkene or alkenes (if more than one) that undergo acid-catalyzed hydration and without rearrangement give 2-methyl-2-butanol as the MAJOR product. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.arrow_forward2. What is the effect of a tert-butyl group when placed in a 6 membered ring? I've been told it "locks" the conformation but I don't understand what that means exactly. Does it have an effect on reactivity? Does it just mean the ring cannot undergo a ring flip? For example, in the reaction below would the ketone reduce to an alcohol as normal, as though the tBu group LIAIH4 *tBu wasn't there?arrow_forwardDraw a structural formula of an alkene or alkenes (if more than one) that undergo acid-catalyzed hydration and without rearrangement give 1-methylcyclohexanol as the major product.
