- When 2-iodo-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is heated in acetic acid, CH3COOH, a mixture of substitution and elimination products is obtained. Provide structures for all possible products, writing [not drawing] the name of the mechanism by which each one is formed.arrow_forward(a) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of cis-hex-3-ene to the epoxide (3,4-epoxyhexane)and the ring-opening reaction to give the glycol, hexane-3,4-diol. In your mechanism, payparticular attention to the stereochemistry of the intermediates and products.(b) Repeat part (a) for trans-hex-3-ene. Compare the products obtained from cis- andtrans-hex-3-ene. Is this reaction sequence stereospecific?arrow_forwardReaction of iodoethane with CN- yields a small amount of isonitrile, CH3CH2N≡C, along with the nitrile CH3CH2N≡N, as the major product. Write electron-dot structures for both products, assign formal charges as necessary, and propose mechanisms to account for their formation.arrow_forward
- The following sequence of steps converts (R)-2-octanol to (S)-2-octanol. Propose structural formulas for intermediates A and B, specify the configuration of each, and account for the inversion of configuration in this sequence.arrow_forward(i) Name, draw and describe the organic product of the reaction between 2-methylbut-1-ene and H2O in the presence of H2SO4 and provide a clear rationale as to why this is the major product of the reaction. (ii) The elimination reaction between 2-bromobutane and NaOCH2CH3 gives two organic products.

Give the names of reagents I and J. (ii) 1-Octanol can also be prepared from the reaction of the Schwartz's reagent with cis-2-hexene followed by reaction with reagents K and L and subsequent acidic work-up. Give the name of reagent K and give the chemical structure of reagent L. Give a detailed reaction mechanism.arrow_forward(b) Write the mechanism for the formation of products in following reaction. Clearly show the intermediates in the reaction. Which product is a kinetically controlled and which one is the thermodynamically controlled product? CH3 CI. CI.
