Chapter 18, Problem 16P
Treating a solution of cis-1-decalone with base causes an isomerization to take place. When the system reaches equilibrium, the solution is found to contain about 95% trans-1-decalone and about 5% cis-1-decalone. Explain this isomerization.

1-Octen-3-ol is a potent mosquito attractant commonly used in mosquito traps. A number of reactions, including hydrogenation, will transform 1-octen-3-ol into a less effective molecule. Draw the structure of a hydrogenation product of 1-octen-3-ol.
Why is the boiling point of propane-1,3-diol (HOCH2CH2CH2OH) higher than the boiling point of propane-1,2-diol [HOCH2CH(OH)CH3] (215 °C vs. 187 °C)? Why do both diols have a higher boiling point than butan-1-ol (CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, 118 °C)?

- Choose the best explanation for why these compounds are all less than fifteen carbons. A) Aldehydes with longer alkyl chains become increasingly nonpolar and the LDF are stronger than hydrogen bonding with ethanol. B) Ethanol molecules will hydrogen bond with the oxygen of the aldehydes. However, longer alkyl chains interrupt the ability of the aldehyde to hydrogen bond with ethanol which decreases the solubility. C) Ethanol molecules will form strong LDF interactions between the alkyl chains of the aldehydes and the alkyl groups of ethanol. The strong attractions cause the aldehydes to precipitate out of solution. D) When aldehydes chain length increases, the aldehydes have stronger intermolecular force with the small ethanol solvent molecules than the ethanol-ethanol intermolecular force.arrow_forward13,15arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group.
