(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of 3bromo6methylcyclohexene into alcohol A is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The synthesis of the product from reactant molecules requires specific reagents that perform various functions like oxidation, elimination, catalysis and dehydration in the reaction.

The stability of the product is the major factor that determines the yield and formation of a product.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of compound B consistent with UV data is to be suggested, if it is not a correct product.

Concept introduction:

Ultraviolet spectroscopy is the part of analytical chemistry that aids in determination of transition metal ions and conjugated double bonds. Conjugated systems have alternate single and double bonds that result in lower energy and increase in stability of a molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the dehydration of alcohol A to compound B is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Dehydration of alcohol is the process that comprises removal of water molecule to form an alkene. The protic acids like sulphuric acid behave as the catalyst in the dehydration of alcohol. Catalysts are the reagents used to speed up the reaction.
