(d)
Interpretation: The structure of the major product formed from acid-catalyzed hydration of alkene indicated should be written.
Concept introduction:Acid-catalyzed hydration is the electrophilic addition of water. The reactive species that act as a catalyst is
in the first stage. In the second stage water itself acts as a nucleophile and another water abstracts a proton to give final hydration product as illustrated below.

- Draw structural formulas for the alkene that gives each alcohol upon hydroboration-oxidation. (a) (b)arrow_forwardDraw structural formulas for the alkenes formed by acid-catalyzed dehydration of each alcohol. Where isomeric alkenes are possible, predict which is the major product. Q.) 1-Methylcyclopentanolarrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forward
- Give 3 examples of combustion of alkanes and write its general reaction and mechanismarrow_forwardWhen bromine is added to two beakers, one containing phenyl isopropyl ether and the other containing cyclohexene, the bromine color in both beakers disappears. What observation could you make while performing this test that would allow you to distinguish the alkene from the aryl ether?arrow_forwardDo primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols undergo rearrangement upon conversion to the alkyl halides?arrow_forward
- You are asked to prepare (synthesize) chloroethane using an alkane and any inorganic substance of your choice. Write a chemical equation for the synthesis of chloroethane. 3.arrow_forwardPredict the products of dehydrohalogenation and dehydration reactions, and use Zaitsev’s rule to predict the major and minor productsarrow_forwardWrite structural formulas for all the constitutionally isomeric alcohols of molecular formula C5H12O. Assign a substitutive and a functional class name to each one, and specify whether it is a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.arrow_forward
- Design and draw a catalytic cycle for the production of butanal from prop-1-ene. Recognize which step responsible for the selectivity of formation of the n- or iso-isomer.arrow_forwardExplain this ? "Organic synthesis is the systematic preparation of a compound from areadily available starting material by one or many steps".arrow_forwardUnlike ethylene glycol, propylene glycol (propane-1,2-diol) is nontoxic because it oxidizes to a common metabolic intermediate. Give the structures of the biological oxidationproducts of propylene glycol.arrow_forward
