Each of these alkenes can be treated with catalytic sulfuric acid in water OR oxymercuration-demercuration. For all these alkenes except one, either reaction will give you the same alcohol product. Which alkene gives a different product depending on which reaction you use (i.e., aqueous acid gives you one alcohol, but oxymercuration-demercuration gives you a different alcohol)? A B Explain why you chose the alkene you did: D E

Fill in the boxes with the missing alkyl halide (reactant side), appropriate nucleophile (by arrow), or substitution or elimination product (product side). Show stereochemistry on the product when applicable. Note: "Ph" = benzene ring.
2. Draw the structures and explain why CH3CH₂O and CH3CO₂ are good nucleophiles but CH3SO3, water, and alcohols (R-OH) are poor nucleophiles. Propose a 'cutoff' for the amount of negative charge needed to be a good nucleophile. CH3CH₂O CH3CO₂ CH3SO3 H₂O CH₂OH
Answer all questions with explanation. If not answer all questions please skip it.
Can you further explain c & d? I'm confused with both as those were the only ones I got wrong. First for c, why is there a reaction on the most substituted alkene vs the terminal alkene? Secondly for d, why did both OH groups experience a reaction vs just the attached to a primary carbon. Thank youagain for the help!
Investigate what happens when an alkene reacts with potassium permanganate as well as when it reacts withbromine water. Draw the reaction mechanism for both.
True or False: 1. If the reactants are more stable than the products, the reaction will be spontaneous. 2. The first substituent should have the higher number in numbering the longest chain.
Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.

a) Write out the 3-step arrow pushing mechanism showing how 1-pentene is hydrated to make 2-pentanol. b) Draw the other 2 alkenes(don’t forget cis/trans isomers!) that could also be hydrated to make 2-pentanol. Briefly explain why1-pentene is the best choice.

6) Develop a series of reactions we have covered in lecture that would produce the following molecules. Use any reagents necessary, but you must start with an alkene with one double bond (any alkene you choose) as one of your reactants. он
