Chapter 8, Problem 75IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compound X structure should be drawn from the given molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ based on the given reaction conditions.

Concept introduction:

• Reagent: reagent is a compound or compound mixture that is used in the chemical transformation of the reactions. Reagents for some reactions are given below.
  • Addition reaction: in addition reaction, two substituents are added to the reactant without losing any compound.
• Hydrogenation: Addition of hydrogen molecule across the double bond in presence of metal catalyst is known as hydrogenation reaction.
• Hydration: addition of water molecule across the double bond is called hydration reaction. Hydration of alkene can be achieved in many ways.
• Hydroboration-oxidation reaction: addition of –H and –OH group across the double bond in presence of borane and hydrogen peroxide with base is known as hydroboration-oxidation reaction.
• Simple hydration in acidic media gives the addition product through carbocation intermediate.
