Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product of the oxymercuration reaction between 1-hexene and mercuric acetate in H2O/THF solvent followed by treatment with NaBH4/NaOH is to be predicet. The explanation for the corresponding aswer is to be stated. The functional groups which are present on the corresponding product is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxymercuration reaction is a type of reaction in which an alkene gets converted to an alcohol. The mercuric acetate is used in the reaction as reagent. This reagent attacks the alkene to form a cyclic intermediate compound which further undergoes reduction to form alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product of the oxymercuration reaction between 1-hexene and mercuric acetate in isopropyl alcohol solvent followed by treatment with NaBH4/NaOH is to be predicet. The explanation for the corresponding aswer is to be stated. The functional groups which are present on the corresponding product is to be stated.

3) Determine if the pairs are constitutional isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, or mesocompounds. (4 points)
In the decomposition reaction in solution B → C, only species C absorbs UV radiation, but neither B nor the solvent absorbs. If we call At the absorbance measured at any time, A0 the absorbance at the beginning of the reaction, and A∞ the absorbance at the end of the reaction, which of the expressions is valid? We assume that Beer's law is fulfilled.
