- Draw the structure of the predominant form of CF3CH2OH (pK a = 12.4) at pH = 6.arrow_forward(b) (1-chloromethyl)cyclopentane, CeH11CI reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce a primary alcohol AA. When CeH11Cl is added with magnesium, Mg in ether, an organometallic compound BB is formed. When compound BB reacts with ethanal, CH3CHO, a secondary alcohol cCis formed. The molecular structure of CeH11Cl is given below. (1-klorometil)siklopentana, CoH1,CI bertindak balas dengan akues natrium hidroksida, NaOH bagi menghasilkan satu alkohol primer AA. Apabila CeH11CI ditambah dengan magnesium, Mg dalam eter, sebatian organologam BB terbentuk. Apabila sebatian BB bertindak balas dengan etanal, CH;CHO, satu alkohol sekunder CC dihasilkan. Struktur molekul bagi CsH11CI diberikan di bawah. .CI (1-chloromethyl)cyclopentane (i) Draw the structural formula for compound AA through Cc. Lukiskan formula struktur bagi sebatian AA sehingga C.

- (1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many isomers can be formed in each case? (2) Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Draw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.arrow_forwardGive 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_forwardDiazomethane, CH2N2, is used in the organic chemistry laboratory despite its danger because it produces very high yields and is selective for reaction with carboxylic acids. Write the products of the following reactions.arrow_forward
