(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The conversion of but1ene into 2methoxybutane.

Interpretation: The conversion of the given reactions is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Oxymercuration-demercuration is one of the methods used to convert alkenes into alcohols. This type of reaction follows Markovinokov’s rule.

According to Markovnikov’s rule, the positive part of acid gets attached to that carbon atom in C=C bond which carries maximum number of hydrogen atoms and the negative part of acid gets attached to that carbon atom in C=C bond which has minimum number of hydrogen atoms.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The conversion of 1iodo2methylcyclopentane into 1methylcyclopentanol.

Interpretation: The conversion of the given reactions is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The general steps followed by Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction are stated below:

  • Formation of mercurinium ion.
  • Attack of water on mercurinium ion to give alcohol.
  • Demercuration

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The conversion of 3methylpent1ene into 3methylpentan2ol.

Interpretation: The conversion of the given reactions is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Oxymercuration-demercuration is one of the methods used to convert alkenes into alcohols. This type of reaction follows Markovinokov’s rule.

According to Markovnikov’s rule, the positive part of acid gets attached to that carbon atom in C=C bond which carries maximum number of hydrogen atoms and the negative part of acid will attach to that carbon atom in C=C bond which has minimum number of hydrogen atoms.

The general steps followed by Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction are stated below:

  • Formation of mercurinium ion.
  • Attack of water on mercurinium ion to give alcohol.
  • Demercuration

What would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule, this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more) attack.
