Give the product(s) that would be formed when 3-methyl-3-pentanol is subjected to acid-catalyzed dehydration.  If more than one product would be formed, designate the one that would be the major product.

Using two equivalents of 1-bromobutane, propose a synthesis to make 4-octanone. Specify the reagents that you need for each step and show the reactants, intermediates, and products. Make a note of the oxidation number of the a-carbon(s) for the starting material, all the intermediates, and the final product. For the final product, include oxidation numbers on both C4 and C5 (since C5 was an alpha C)

An esterification and a claisen condensation are the reverse of each other. Write a single equilibrium reaction that is appropriate for both reactions and discuss the experimental conditions that can drive this equilibrium toward one side or the other of this reaction.  The reactions are:  Esterification Reaction: acetic acid is reacted with methanol and sulfuric acid catalyst under heated conditions to produce methyl acetate.  Claisen Condensation:  methyl acetate is reacted with water and sulfuric acid catalyst under heated conditions to produce acetic acid

Provide reagents and conditions to produce the products indicated. CH3 CH3 CH3 of CH3 N, CH3 ČH3 H2N. OH CH3 H3C, H3C. CH3 ČH3

The Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of p-xylene n-propyl bromide can result in an isopropyl as well as n-propyl substitution. A) Write the chemical equation involved in this reaction. B) Which will be the major and minor product? What do you expect will be the ratio of n-propyl to isopropyl substitution for p-xylene?

Draw the product that would form when 4-methylcyclohexene reacts with chlorine.

Draw the structures of all the possible products that can be obtained from the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol. Using curved arrows, write a detailed mechanism to show how each product is formed. Indicate which product would be the major one.

Propose a series of reactions that would convert the provided starting material into the given product. The synthesis will take more than one step. For each reaction you use, show the reagents you would use and the product of that step. In each step, your desired product should be formed as the major product. Assume chiral products are formed as racemic mixtures. Your reactions should give the correct diastereomer. In addition to the provided starting material, you may use any other organic compound as well as any reagents we have discussed. Could someone please help me with this practice problem?  Thank you!

What is the structure of the compound formed when 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde reacts with 4-cyanophenyl hydrazine hydrochloride?

How many different Claisen condensation products are possible in the reaction of equal amounts of ethyl acetate (CH3CO2Et) and ethyl propanoate (CH3CH2CO2Et)?
