- Compound A, C9H₁6 reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen upon catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment, to give: CHỊCHỊCH CH3CCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CCH3 || Propose a structure for A.arrow_forwardGive reasons for the following: (i) p-nitrophenol is more acidic than p-methylphenol. (ii) Bond length of C—O bond in phenol is shorter than that in methanol. (iii) (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with sodium methoxide (Na+ _OCH3) gives alkene as the main product and not an ether.arrow_forwardOne of the principal components of lemongrass oil is limonene, C10H16.

- (a) Account for the following :(i) Electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly.(ii) Haloalkanes, though polar, are insoluble in water.(b) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of reactivity towards SN2 displacement:2-Bromo-2-Methylbutane, 1-Bromopentane, 2-Bromopentanearrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation.
