Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the addition of sulfuric acid to ethene for the production of ethanol is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted with any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Nucleophilic substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted with any nucleophile is called nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Addition reaction: A reaction in which two or more unsaturated compounds react to form a product is called addition reaction.

(a) CI (b)arrow_forwardCompound A of molecular formula C8H14 is reduced by sodium in liquid ammonia to give compound B of molecular formula C8H16. product (Y).Both A and B undergo hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum catalyst to give 2,5-dimethylhexane. Ozonolysis of B with an oxidative workup produces a carboxylic acid of molecular formula C4H8O2. Reaction of B with a peroxyacid gives a chiral C8H14O product, but reaction with bromine gives an achiral C8H14Br2 product. What are the identities of A and B?arrow_forward
- Compound A of molecular formula C8H₁4 is reduced by sodium in liquid ammonia to give compound of molecular formula C8H16. product (Y). Both A and B undergo hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum catalyst to give 2,5- dimethylhexane. Ozonolysis of B with an oxidative workup produces a carboxylic acid of molecular formula C4H8O2. Reaction of B with a peroxyacid gives a chiral C8H₁40 product, but reaction with bromine gives an achiral C8H₁4Br2 product.
