Question
Chapter 7, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the different products in given reactions is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The dehydration of alcohols includes the protonation of alcohol and formation of carbocation.
The order of stability of carbocation is such that the tertiary carbocation is most stable whereas the primary carbocation is least stable and the stability of the secondary carbocation lies between primary and secondary carbocation.

When trans-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, cyclohexene oxide is the product. However, when cis-2-chloro-1-cyclohexanol is treated with a base, the product is cyclohexanone.
Write the mechanism for each of the two reactions.
Reaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products: cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. The analogous reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1, 2-dibromocyclohexane as the soleproduct. Draw structures of the possible intermediates, and then explain why only a single product is formed in this reaction.
Identify two alkenes that react with HBr to form
1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.

- A novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B.
