- The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PhOH) with CH2=O, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different.arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H10 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give B C6H12 (Rxn 1). Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give the glycol C (Rxn 2). A gives 5-oxohexanal on ozonolysis (Rxn 3). Draw the structures of A, B, and C. Give the reactions.arrow_forwardAn alkene is treated with OsO4 followed by H2O2. When the resulting diol is treated with HIO4, the only product obtained is an unsubstituted cyclic ketone with molecular formula C6H10O. What is the structure of the alkene?arrow_forward
- Compound W has molecular formula C₁4H18 and reacts with H₂ to form X. Oxidative cleavage of W with O3 followed by CH3 SCH3 affords Y. What is the structure of W?arrow_forwardA dialkyl-substituted benzene, C14H22, is treated with basic potassium permanganate, followed by acid workup. The same dialkyl-substituted benzene was recovered afterward from the reaction mixture. Draw the structure of the compound.arrow_forwardNitromethane is reacted with ethyl prop-2-enoate with EtO-Na+, EtOH 3 equivalents to give the product X(C16). X then reacts with H2/Raney Ni to give the product Y(C14), which in turn reacts with Na to give Z (C12). Indicate which products X, Y and Z are.arrow_forward
- 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_forward17. A (A)-aq NaOH (B)- K₂Cr₂O, H [0] → Propanone. i) Identify the compounds (A) and (B). ii) Starting from compound (A), how would you obtain 2,3-dimethylbutane? Convert compound (B) into propene. ✓ Predict (iv) Predict the product, when compound (A) is heated with sodium methoxide. [2+1+1+1]arrow_forwardButanol is treated with H2SO4 and heat. Identify the reaction and give the product that can be formed from itarrow_forward
- 4) Provide the starting materials for the following reactions. a) b) c) HBr 0 °C H₂O, H₂SO4 NaOH (2 equivalents) H₂O, 55 °C OH Brarrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forwardWhat is the structural requirement for a substance to react with ammoniacal AgNO3? Why would acetylene react with Tollen's reagent but not cyclohexane or cyclohexene?arrow_forward
