- 2-Methylpropene reacts with cold aqueous sulfuric acid to give A(C4H10O). Treatment of A with sodium metal in anhydrous THF followed by methyl iodide gives B(C5H12O).Draw the structure of B.arrow_forwardCompound A(C7H15Br) is not a primary alkyl bromide. It yields a single alkene(compound B) on being heated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Hydrogenation of compound B yields 2,4-dimethylpentane. Identify compounds A and B.arrow_forwardCompound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (CH3COCH3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2 SO4 gives E (C10 H16), which decolorizes two equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16 Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and a Pt catalyst to give isobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout.arrow_forward
- 2 methylbutene react with Hbr to givearrow_forwardA compound with formula C7H12O is treated with sodium borohydride in methanol to yield 2,2-dimethylcylopentanol. Write a reaction scheme showing the structures of the reactant, the reagents, and the product. Will the product be optically active? Explain.arrow_forwardCompounds A and B are isomers of the molecular formula CyH19Br. Both yield the same alkene Cin an elimination reaction. Hydrogenation of C yields the product 2,3,3,4 tetramethyl pentane. What are the structures of A, B, and C?arrow_forward
- An unknown compound, A, has the molecular formula C7H12. On oxidation with hot aqueous potassium permanganate, A yields CH3CH2COOH and (CH3)2 Which of the following structures best represents A?arrow_forwardAn alkene having the molecular formula C5H10 is treated sequentially with ozone (O3) and zinc/acetic acid to give the product/s shown. H3C O CH3CHCH + H. Draw a structural formula for the alkene. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.

- 5B In the following reactions, mixtures of alkenes and ethyl ethers are formed. Draw their structures. Explain which is or are likely to be the main product(s) in each reaction. In case of formation of two isomers of alkenes, explain which is formed in greater proportion CH3 CH3 H3C-C H -Br CH3 EtOHarrow_forwardReaction of 2-methylpropene with CH3OH in the presence of H2SO4 catalyst yieldsmethyl tert-butyl ether, CH3OC(CH3)3, by a mechanism analogous to that of acid- catalyzed alkene hydration. Write the mechanism, using curved arrows for each step.arrow_forwardCompound A (C6H14) forms three different monochlorides by photochemical chlorination. One of these monochlorides is inert to E2 elimination. The other two monochlorides produce the same alkene B (C6H12) when heated with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol.Identify compound A, the three monochlorides, and alkene B.arrow_forward
