- Explain by the equation how cyclohexane can be obtained from benzene?arrow_forwardAlkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.arrow_forward2. An unknown organic compound has the molecular formula C4H&O. It resists oxidation and it can be reduced with H2 to form an alcohol. Draw the structure for the compound and write equations for the reactions described. Name the reactant and product. 3.
