Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 3LGP
Synthesize the compound shown below from methylcyclopentane and 2-methylpropane using those compounds as the source of the carbon atoms and any other reagents necessary. Synthetic tools you might need include Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov hydration, Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov hydrobromination, radial halogenation, elimination, and nuceleophilic substitution reactions.

A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
The conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides by reaction with hydrogen halides is an example of a Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction. This kind of reaction can proceed by two different mechanisms depending on the structure of alcohol substrates used. Generally, primary alcohols are substituted via SN2 mechanism, while secondary and tertiary alcohols undergo SN1 mechanism.
Consider the following reaction given in the picture below and the questions in the picture too.
Convert 2-pentanol into 2,3-dibromopentane. Draw structures of the starting material (2-pentanol) and final product
(2,3-dibromopentane), and show the two reactions needed for this synthesis. Include the structure of the intermediate
compound, and the reagents and conditions for each reaction. Then explain why 1,2-dibromopentane would not be a
significant product of this synthesis.

O₂Narrow_forward3) A common practice that organic chemists work on is a process known as retrosynthesis. In this a chemist will take known reactants and devise a synthetic pathway to produce the desired products using reactions that they know. As you proceed through organic chemistry you will be tasked with thinking about this process. How would you make the desired final product starting from the alkyne.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
