Interpretation:
The isomer of pentanols with unbranched carbon chain that yield 1-pentene as product upon dehydration has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:

- When 2-chloropropane treated with NaOH and 1-chloropropane treated with NaOH separately produce two different functional groups. Provide both reactions and explain the two different functional groups produced.arrow_forwardFollowing is the structural formula of the tranquilizer meparfynol (Oblivon). Propose a synthesis for this compound starting with acetylene and a ketone. (Notice the -yn- and -ol in the chemical name of this compound, indicating that it contains alkyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)arrow_forwardThree isomeric pentanols with unbranched carbon chains exist. Which of these isomers, upon dehydration at 180C, yields only 1-pentene as a product?arrow_forward
- Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals. and Draw the structures of ALL of the aldehydes with the molecular formula C5H10O that contain a 5-carbon chain.arrow_forwardThree constitutional isomers of molecular formula C 5H 8O can be converted to 1-pentanol (CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 2OH) on treatment with two equivalents of H 2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst. Draw the structures of the three possible compounds, all of which contain a carbonyl grouparrow_forwardThe ketone 2-heptanone has been identified as contributing to the odor of a number of dairy products, including condensed milk and cheddar cheese. Describe the synthesis of 2-heptanone from acetylene and any necessary organic and inorganic reagents.arrow_forward
- Write structural formulas for all aldehydes with the molecular formula C6H12O and give each its IUPAC name. Which of these aldehydes are chiralarrow_forwardThe acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol yields three alkene products. What are the names of the three alkenes? Which of the three alkenes is the major product?arrow_forwardIsoamyl acetate is the common name of the substance most responsible for the characteristic odor of bananas. Write a structural formula for isoamyl acetate, given the information that it is an ester in which the carbonyl group bears a methyl substituent and there is a 3-methylbutyl group attached to one of the oxygens.arrow_forward
- Arrange these compounds in order of increasing acidity: 2,4-dichlorophenol, phenol, cyclohexanol.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_forwardCitronellol ((3R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol, C10H20O) is an organic fragrance found in the oil extracted from lemon grass. a) Name the two functional groups present in the molecule. b) When a few drops of bromine dissolved in hexane is added to a sample of citronellol the brown colour of the bromine rapidly disappears. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred? ii. Draw the structure of the product formed. iii. Name the product. c) The product formed when citronellol is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid gives a yellow/orange precipitate when shaken with Brady’s reagent (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine). It also shows a positive result with Fehling’s solution. i. What type of chemical reaction has occurred ? ii. What type of functional group is present in the product? d) Explain the type of stereoisomerism which may occur in citronellol.arrow_forward
