- (a) A hydrocarbon isolated from fish oil and from plankton was identified as 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-2-pentadecene. Write its structure.(b) Alkyl isothiocyanates are compounds of the type RN C S. Write a structural formula for allyl isothiocyanate, a pungent-smelling compound isolated from mustard.(c) Grandisol is one component of the sex attractant of the boll weevil. Write a structural formula for grandisol given that R in the structure shown is an isopropenyl group.arrow_forwardprovide the structure of the intermediate and product for the following reaction : (c) H CH,OH/H (C)arrow_forward2. (a) Starting with Propanol (CH₂CH₂CH₂OH), show how would you synthesize the following substances? Use equations only, showing structures of reactants, reagents and all intermediate products. (i) 3-Hexanol {CH,CH₂CH₂(OH)CHCH₂CH3} (ii) Propanoic acid (CH,CH,COOH) (iii) 2-Pentene (CH3CH₂CH=CHCH3) (iv) Ethyl propyl ether (CH-CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH3) CH₂CH₂ CH₂CH₂ CH₂ ol when Synthesizing: alcohol RICHarrow_forward
- In a basic aqueous solution, esters react with hydroxide ion to form the salt of the carboxylic acid and the alcohol from which the ester is constituted. Name each of the following esters, and indicate the products of their reaction with aqueous base. (a) -OCH,CH3 (b) CH;CH2CH2-arrow_forwardWrite the reagent or draw structures of the starting material or organic product(s) in the following reactions. If more than one product is formed, identify the major product where possible. (a) (b) HO OH OH H2SO4 ? Cl₂ ? FeCl3arrow_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_forward
- (a) How will you convert:(i) Benzene to acetophenone (ii) Propanone to 2-Methylpropan-2-ol(b) Give reasons :(i) Electrophilic substitution in benzoic acid takes place at meta position.(ii) Carboxylic acids are higher boiling liquids than aldehydes, ketones and alcohols of comparable molecular masses.(iii) Propanal is more reactive than propanone in nucleophilic addition reactions.arrow_forwardIn addition: can u give the names of evey compounds in the question solutionarrow_forward8arrow_forward
- (a) Draw the three isomers of benzenedicarboxylic acid.(b) The isomers have melting points of 210 °C, 343 °C, and 427 °C. Nitration of the isomers at all possible positions was once used to determine their structures. The isomer that melts at 210 °C gives two mononitro isomers. The isomer that melts at 343 °C gives three mononitro isomers. The isomer that melts at 427 °C gives only one mononitro isomer. Show which isomer has which melting point.arrow_forward(b) 3-methyl-2-butanol reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid to form 2-methyl-2- butene. Write the mechanism for the reaction.arrow_forward.
