Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical equation of primary alcoholwith each of the given reagents is to be written.
Concept Introduction:
When alcohol treated with hydrogen halide typically undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction to yield
Primary alcohol proceeds via
Alcohol reacts with sodium azide to yield sodium alkonate.
Alcohol reacts with sodium bromide in the presence of sulfuric acid and heat to yield alkyl halide.
When three moles of alcohol reacts with phosphorus tribromide to yield alkyl halide with phosphorous acid and hydrogen bromide.
When alcohols treated with thionyl chlorides react to yield alkyl chloride with sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride.
When alcohols treated with methyl sulfonyl chloride in the presence of pyridine react to yield butyl methanesulfonate.

Explain why it cannot be prepared from an alkene.arrow_forwardDraw structural formulas for the following entities. a. Propanoate ion b. Sodium propanoate c. Acetate ion d. Sodium acetatearrow_forward
- 14-49 Answer true or false. Today, the major carbon sources for the synthesis of methanol are coal and methane (natural gas), both nonrenewable resources. Today the major carbon sources for the synthesis of ethanol are petroleum and natural gas, both nonrenewable resources. Intermolecular acid-catalyzed dehydration of ethanol gives diethyl ether. Conversion of ethylene to ethylene glycol involves oxidation to ethylene oxide, followed by acid-catalyzed hydration (addition of water, to ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is soluble in water in all proportions. A major use of ethylene glycol is as automobile antifreeze.arrow_forward17-67 Draw structural formulas for these compounds.
