- Write 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_forwardWhen the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardWhat is the major organic product of the following reaction? (a) (b) NaBH4 CH3CH₂OH ? (c) (d) OHarrow_forward
- What products are formed when benzoic acid (C 6H 5COOH) is treated with each base: (a) NaOH; (b) Na 2CO 3; (c) NaHCO 3?arrow_forwardGive an IUPAC and common name for each of the following naturally occurring carboxylic acids: (a) CH3CH(OH)CO2H (lactic acid); (b) HOCH2CH2C(OH)(CH3)CH2CO2H (mevalonic acid).arrow_forwardDraw the organic product formed when the following com-pounds undergo a substitution reaction: (a) acetic acid and methylamine; (b) butanoic acid and 2-propanol; (c) formic acidand 2-methyl-1-propanol.arrow_forward
- Describe a sequence of reactions by which cis-2-pentene could be prepared from acetylene.arrow_forwardWhich products are formed when hydrobromic acid is added to (a) trans-2-hexene, (b) 2-methyl- 2-pentene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene, and how many regioisomers can be formed in each case?arrow_forwardSynthesize each compound.You may use benzene, acetylene (HC≡CH), ethanol, ethylene oxide, and any inorganic reagents.arrow_forward
- Name and draw a structural formula for the major product of each alkene addition reaction: CH S (a) CH₂C=CH₂ + HI →→→→ (b) CH 3 + HClarrow_forwardEthers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions. MTBE is synthesized bythe catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint:Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)(b) If the government required that auto fuel mixtures contain2.7% oxygen by mass to reduce CO emissions, how many gramsof MTBE would have to be added to each 100. g of gasoline?(c) How many liters of MTBE would be in each liter of fuel mix-ture? (The density of both gasoline and MTBE is 0.740 g/mL.)(d) How many liters of air (21% O₂ by volume) are needed at24C and 1.00 atm to fully combust 1.00 L of MTBE?arrow_forwardDiazomethane, CH2N2, is used in the organic chemistry laboratory despite its danger because it produces very high yields and is selective for reaction with carboxylic acids. Write the products of the following reactions.arrow_forward
