Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structures for the products A, B, C, and D showing stoichiometry are to be written.
Concept Introduction:
For carrying out a nucleophilic substitution on alcohols, first the hydroxyl group of an alcohol gets converted to a good leaving group to a p-toluenesulfonate ester derivative on reaction with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride
If the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution is
Usually, primary alcohols undergo

Library Name and outline a mechanism for the reaction of 2-bromo-2-methylpropane with ethanolic potassium hydroxide to form the alkene 2-methylpropene, (CH3)2C=CH₂ Name of mechanism Mechanism (ii) Draw the structures and give the names of the two stereoisomers of but-2-ene. Stereoisomer 1 Name (iii) Name this type of stereoisomerism. Select Name Stereoisomer 2 When 2-bromo-2-methylpropane reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide, 2-methylpropan-2-ol is formed as shown by the following equation. CH3 H₂C-C-CH3 + KOH Br Page 2 of 14 CH3 H3C-C-CH3 + KBr ОН State the role of the hydroxide ions in this reaction. Write an equation for the reaction that occurs when CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂Br reacts with an excess of ammonia. Name the organic product of this reaction.

- Practice Problem 7.16 When the compound called isoborneol is heated with 9 M sulfuric acid, the product of the reaction is the compound called camphene and not bornylene, as one might expect. Using models to assist you, write a step-by-step mechanism showing how camphene is formed. HO H,O not heat Isoborneol Camphene Bornylenearrow_forwardThe natural product halomon could theoretically arise from another naturally occurring compound known as myrcene. To accomplish this, a biochemical process that could deliver the synthetic equivalent of BrCi to all three double bonds would be required. (Chem Comm. 2014, 50, 13725) (a) Using three molar equivalents of BrCL please provide a mechanism to account for the formation of the bracketed structure (you do not need to show stereochemistry in this mechanism) HB (3 equiv) myrcene balomon 8.61a Add curved arrow(s) to show the mechanism steps. Edit Drawing sitsarrow_forwardExplain the following behaviours :(i) Alcohols are more soluble in water than the hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses.(ii) Ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.arrow_forward
