Interpretation: The explanation for no formation of indicated alcohols from
Concept introduction: Hydroboration-oxidation involves a sequence of two reactions. The hydroboration stage involves the treatment of alkene with diborane that generates alkyl borane. In second stage, hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium is used to oxidize the alkyl borane produced in step 1 that leads to the synthesis of alcohols from
Anti-Markovnikov’s Rule serves as the basis of hydroboration. It states that the negative part of reagent must go to the carbon that has less alkyl substituents or more

- In an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?arrow_forwardThe treatment of (CH3)2C=CHCH2Br with H2O forms B (molecular formulaC5H10O) as one of the products. Determine the structure of B from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forwarddivls depends oin the moisture content of the reaction mixture.

KNH₂ KNH₂ 1a (anion) 2a (anion) Of the following, which is NOT one of the four resonance structures of 1a?arrow_forwardA task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same molecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an organic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K can be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions, they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not. Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring their position isomerism. Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-…arrow_forward
- When bromomethane undergoes solvolysis in a solvent mixture composed of 90% water/10% acetone, the reaction rate is faster than when the same compound is solvolyzed in 80% water/20% acetone.
