- An alkene is treated with OsO4 followed by H2O2. When the resulting diol is treated with HIO4, the only product obtained is an unsubstituted cyclic ketone with molecular formula C6H10O. What is the structure of the alkene?arrow_forwardWhen 2-pentene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed. Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).arrow_forwardAccount for the fact that treating propenoic acid (acrylic acid) with HCl gives only 3-chloropropanoic acid.arrow_forward
- A dialkyl-substituted benzene, C14H22, is treated with basic potassium permanganate, followed by acid workup. The same dialkyl-substituted benzene was recovered afterward from the reaction mixture. Draw the structure of the compound.arrow_forwardOne compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?arrow_forwardButanol is treated with H2SO4 and heat. Identify the reaction and give the product that can be formed from itarrow_forward
- Name and draw the structure of the major product in the following reactions of cyclohexanone: A) Reduction with NaBH4 in ethanol, followed by H+ B) Reaction with excess ethanol in the presence of H+arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the product obtained by the reaction of iso-butylbenzene with KMN04/HO-? Name the product of the following reaction: KMNO4 H,0 O,Narrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forward
- Propose two different methods to synthesize oct-1 -en-3-ol [CH3(CH2)4CH(OH)CH = CH2] using a Grignard reagent and a carbonyl compound. Oct-1-en-3-ol is commonly called matsutake alcohol because it was first isolated from the Japanese matsutake mushroom.arrow_forwardPropose a synthesis for the systemic agricultural fungicide tridemorph from dodecanoic acid (lauric acid), propene, and a one-carbon building block. How many stereoisomers are possible for tridemorph? CH3 →CH3(CH2)10COOH + CH3CH=CH, H3C (CH2) 12CH3 Tridemorph Dodecanoic acid Propene (Lauric acid)arrow_forward4) Provide the starting materials for the following reactions. a) b) c) HBr 0 °C H₂O, H₂SO4 NaOH (2 equivalents) H₂O, 55 °C OH Brarrow_forward
