- Give reasons for the following: (i) p-nitrophenol is more acidic than p-methylphenol. (ii) Bond length of C—O bond in phenol is shorter than that in methanol. (iii) (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with sodium methoxide (Na+ _OCH3) gives alkene as the main product and not an ether.arrow_forward(a) Chromic acid oxidation of 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene yielded a single compound having the molecular formula C12H14O4.

(ii) It can be converted to an alkyl lithium compound in one step by reacting with lithium metal. (iii) It would react with the following reagent to give 2-methylhept-1-ene as the product: CuLiarrow_forwardIdentify (A) in the following reaction. 2H2 Pt (A) KMNO4 Warm conc. || С — С — о—н |CO,H + HO CO2H cis-cyclo hexane 1,2-dicarboxylic acid (a) (b) (c) (d)arrow_forward4. Compound A has the formula C 8H 8. It reacts rapidly with KMnO 4 to give CO 2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C 7H 6O 2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H 2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H 2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C 8H 16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C.arrow_forward

Write a structural formula for grandisol given that R in the structure shown is an isopropenyl group.arrow_forwardHow would you obtain(i) Picric acid (2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol) from phenol,(ii) 2-Methylpropene from 2-methylpropanol?arrow_forward
- Both cis- and trans-2-methylcyclohexanol undergo dehydration in warm sulfuric acid to give 1-methylcyclohexene as the major alkene product. These alcohols can also be converted to alkenes by tosylation using TsCl and pyridine, followed by elimination using KOC(CH3)3 as a strong base. Under these basic conditions, the tosylate of cis-2-methylcyclohexanoleliminates to give mostly 1-methylcyclohexene, but the tosylate of trans-2-methylcyclohexanol eliminates to give only 3-methylcyclohexene. Explain how this stereochemical difference in reactants controls a regiochemical difference in the products of the basic elimination, but not in the acid-catalyzed elimination.arrow_forwardIntroduce the reaction and structure of the expected products (indicate the main product, when possible) for a reaction of 3-ethyl-5-methyl-hex-2-ene with the following reagents: (a) Br2, CH2Cl2 (b) H2O , Diluted H2SO4.arrow_forwardEthers can be prepared by reaction of an alkoxide or phenoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide. Draw the structure of the expected organic product of the reaction of iodomethane with the following alkoxide ion: CH3 H3C O Na You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. • Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na", I, in your answer. орy вste ChemDoodlearrow_forward
