Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A synthesis for the given compounds using the given starting materials is to be outlined.

Concept Introduction:

Alcohols contain hydroxyl group, which is not a good leaving group. Therefore, alcohols do not show substitution reactions directly.

Alcohols upon reaction with phosphorus tribromide are converted into alkyl bromides.

Bromine is a good leaving group and can be substituted by conjugate base of H2S to form alkane thiols.

3) Determine if the pairs are constitutional isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, or mesocompounds. (4 points)
In the decomposition reaction in solution B → C, only species C absorbs UV radiation, but neither B nor the solvent absorbs. If we call At the absorbance measured at any time, A0 the absorbance at the beginning of the reaction, and A∞ the absorbance at the end of the reaction, which of the expressions is valid? We assume that Beer's law is fulfilled.
