You have been tasked with the job of converting cyclohexane to iodocyclohexane. Radical iodination is not a feasible process (it is not thermodynamically favorable), so you cannot directly iodinate the starting cycloalkane that way. Propose an alternative strategy for performing the transformation of cyclohexane to iodocyclohexane. [Hint: you might not be able to do it in one step]

Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.

(dehydrobromination) A chemist carried out an elimination reaction of 1,1-dimethyl-2- bromocyclopentane. The chemist expected the reaction to yield alkene Z as product. However, alkene Z DID NOT form. Instead, three alkenes were produced: one alkene was the major product, the other two alkenes was the minor products. What was the major alkene product that formed? Br Select one: A. I B. II C. IV D. III alcohol HEAT || Z = + (HBr) IV
Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).
Chlorination of 1,3,5‑trimethylcyclohexane via radical halogenation leads to the formation of several monohalogenated products. Identify the products, then estimate the relative percentages of each product. Step 1: A monochlorination reaction will substitute a proton for a chlorine. Start by identifying all the unique positions that can be halogenated. Ignore stereochemistry. Replace each unique proton with a chlorine.
