- 1. Reaction of 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene with HBr leads to an alkyl bromide, C6H13Br. On treatment of this alkyl halide with KOH in methanol, elimination of HBr occurs and a hydrocarbon that is isometric with the starting alkene is formed. What is the structure of this hydrocarbon and how do you think it is formed from an alkyl bromide? 2. 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. Write a complete reaction equation for the hydrogenation of this alkenol.arrow_forwardC15T05Q7319 Give the major product(s) of the following reaction.

A student was asked to prepare an alkene X in high yield using any alcohol as starting material CH3 CH,-C -CH=CH, CH3 X He chose 3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol (XI) and carried out a dehydration reaction. He was however horrified to note that the only alkene obtained was XII. CH3 OH CH3 CH;-C=C-CH3 conc.
