Interpretation Introduction

a) Cyclopentanone

Interpretation:

How to prepare cyclopentanone from cyclopentanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ketones can be prepared by oxidizing 20 alcohols with acidified CrO3.

To state:

How to prepare cyclopentanone from cyclopentanol.

Interpretation Introduction

b) Cyclopentene

Interpretation:

How to prepare cyclopentene from cyclopentanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alcohols can be converted into alkenes by treating them with POCl3 in pyridine.

To state:

How to prepare cyclopentene from cyclopentanol.

Interpretation Introduction

c) 1-Methylcyclopentanol

Interpretation:

How to prepare1-methylcyclopentanol from cyclopentanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A 20 alcohol is to be converted into a 30 alcohol. Oxidizing the alcohol to a ketone and treating the ketone with a Grignard reagent will lead to the formation of the 30 alcohol.

To state:

How to prepare 1-methylcyclopentanol from cyclopentanol is to be stated.

Interpretation Introduction

d) trans-2-Methylcyclopentanol

Interpretation:

How to prepare trans-2-Methylcyclopentanol from cyclopentanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alcohols when treated with acids undergo dehydration to yield an alkene. The alkenes can be hydrated either by oxymercuration-demercuration process following Markovnikov regiochemistry or by hydroboration-oxidation following anti-Markovnikov regiochemistry.

To state:

How to prepare trans-2-methylcyclopentanol from cyclopentanol.
