- Describe a sequence of reactions by which cis-2-pentene could be prepared from acetylene.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each product from the reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane using AlCl 3 as the catalyst and Identify the major product.arrow_forwardAn optically active monoterpene (compound A) with molecular formula C10H18O undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to form an optically inactive compound with molecular formula C10H20O (compound B). When compound B is heated with acid, followed by reaction with O3 and then with dimethyl sulfide, one of the products obtained is 4-methylcyclohexanone. Give possible structures for compounds A and B.arrow_forward
- Account for the fact that treating propenoic acid (acrylic acid) with HCl gives only 3-chloropropanoic acid.arrow_forwardCompound X has the molecular formula C7H14. Hydrogenation of compound X produces 2,4-dimethylpentane. Hydroboration-oxidation of compound X produces a racemic mixture of 2,4-dimethyl-1-pentanol. Predict the major product(s) obtained when compound X is treated with aqueous acid (H3O*). Draw all the substrates, reagents, and productsarrow_forwardConsider the compound C5H9Br (Compound X). It reacts with potassium tert-butoxide to give Compound Y, C5H8. Compound Y upon reaction with hydrogen produced methylcyclobutane. Compound Y upon reaction with ozone produces one compound with two aldehyde functional groups. Provide the structures of Compound X and Y.arrow_forward
- The reaction of Hbr with 2-methylpropene produces 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. What is the structure of the carbocation formed during the reaction?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of (2Z, 6E)-3-ethyl-7-methyldeca-2, 6-dien-1-ol, the sex pheromone of the codling moth, a common agricultural pest that destroys apple crops. By spraying an apple orchard with this pheromone, the mating of male and female moths is disrupted, and moth populations can be controlled.arrow_forwardwe saw that Agent Orange contains (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) acetic acid, called 2,4,5-T. This compound is synthesized by the partial reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene with sodium hydroxide, followed by reaction with sodium chloroacetate, ClCH2CO2Na.(a) Draw the structures of these compounds, and write equations for these reactions.(b) One of the impurities in the Agent Orange used in Vietnam was 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), often incorrectly called “dioxin.” Propose a mechanism to show how 2,3,7,8-TCDD is formed in the synthesis of 2,4,5-T.(c) Show how the TCDD contamination might be eliminated, both after the first step and on completion of the synthesis.arrow_forward
- An aromatic compound K, whose molecular formula is C8H11N, is examined in the laboratory to elucidate its structure. The following observations were made: A) Compound K is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid but insoluble in sodium hydroxide solution. B) Treatment of compound K with excess potassium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride, C(6)H(5)SO(2)Cl, results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture. The NMR spectrum of compound K is shown below. C) Compound K when treated with acetic anhydride[CH3-C(O)-O-C(O)-CH3], gives compound L, whose molecular formula is C(10)H(13)ON. Compound L is insoluble in dilute acid or dilute base at room temperature, heating compound L in dilute acid or base, however, regenerates compound K. D) When compound L is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, a single product, compound M, with the molecular formula C(10)H(12)O(3)N(2) is formed in excellent yields. On the basis of these observations draw the structures of…arrow_forwardUsing Friedel Crafts alkylation of benzene, a group of scientists discovered compound A, C3H3O, an optically inactive compound. They discovered that compound B, CsH;BrO, is produced during the halogenation process. When compound B is reacted with nitric acid, compound C, C3H,B1NO3, is formed. While Friedel Crafts alkylation of compound A produces compound D. This compound D was oxidised to produce compound E, C9H§O3 as a major product. Compound F, C10H1002, was produced by Friedel Crafts acylation of compound A. This compound F reacts positively with alkaline iodine and 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine. However, it returns negative results for Tollens' and Benedict's tests. Identify the possible structural formulae compounds A to F and explain your answers.arrow_forwardCitronellol ((3R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol, C10H20O) is an organic fragrance found in the oil extracted from lemon grass. a) Name the two functional groups present in the molecule. b) When a few drops of bromine dissolved in hexane is added to a sample of citronellol the brown colour of the bromine rapidly disappears. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred? ii. Draw the structure of the product formed. iii. Name the product. c) The product formed when citronellol is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid gives a yellow/orange precipitate when shaken with Brady’s reagent (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine).
