Chapter 12, Problem 68IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of secondary alcohol using a two-carbon compound is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Secondary alcohol can be generated in many ways, one of the possible ways being the addition of a Grignard reagent with a two-carbon aldehyde, followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate molecule. Using acetaldehyde as the starting material, the product can be obtained.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A plausible reaction for the formation of the secondary alcohol product has to be determined using a two-carbon starting material.

Concept Introduction:

Secondary alcohol can be generated in many ways, one of the possible ways being the addition of a Grignard reagent with a two-carbon aldehyde, followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate molecule. Using acetaldehyde as the starting material, the product can be obtained.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of four-carbon primary alcohol using a two-carbon compound is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Primary alcohol can be generated in many ways, one of the possible ways is a substitution reaction of an alkyl halide with a strong base such as NaOH . The addition of carbon fragments in the starting compound can be achieved by a reaction with an alkynide. Using these steps, the product can be obtained.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A plausible reaction for the formation of the secondary alcohol product has to be determined using a two-carbon starting material.

Concept Introduction:

Secondary alcohol can be generated in many ways. One of the possible ways is the addition of a Grignard reagent with a four-carbon aldehyde, (which can be formed from a two-carbon compound by the addition of alkynide) followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate molecule. Using bromoethane as the starting material, the product can be obtained.
