- (b) 3-methyl-2-butanol reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid to form 2-methyl-2- butene. Write the mechanism for the reaction.arrow_forwardDraw a structural formula of an alkene that undergoes acid-catalyzed hydration to give each alcohol as the major product (more than one alkene may give each alcohol as the major product). (a) 3-Hexanol (b) 1-Methylcyclobutanol (c) 2-Methyl-2-butanol (d) 2-Propanolarrow_forward(1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many isomers can be formed in each case? (2) Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Draw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.arrow_forward
- Photochemical chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane gives four isomeric monochlorides. (a) Write structural formulas for these four isomers. (b) The two primary chlorides make up 65% of the monochloride fraction. Assuming that all the primary hydrogens in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are equally reactive, estimate the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixture.arrow_forwardGive the structure of the product formed when each of the following alkenes reacts with bromine in water: (a) 2-Methyl-1-butene (c) 3-Methyl-1-butene (b) 2-Methyl-2-butene (d) 1-Methylcyclopentenearrow_forwardWrite the bond line formula of the following compounds: (a) 4-methyl-2-hexene, two geometrical (stereoisomers) isomers (b) 3-fluoro-2-methylheptanol (3-fluoro-2-methylheptan-1-ol) (c) 4-methyl-hex-1-yn-3-olarrow_forward
- Disiamylborane adds only once to alkynes by virtue of its two bulky secondary isoamylgroups. Disiamylborane is prepared by the reaction of BH3 # THF with an alkene.(a) Draw the structural formulas of the reagents and the products in the preparation ofdisiamylboranearrow_forwardCompounds B and C are hydrocarbons with the structural formulae as shown below. CH, „CH, в (a) Name compounds B and C according to the IUPAC nomenclature. (b) Both B and C can undergo oxidation reaction with the same oxidizing agent. Write chemical equations involved and explain the differences between these two reactions. (c) Name one reaction that converts B to methylcyclohexane.arrow_forwardPropose a structural formula for the product(s) when each of the following alkenes is treated with H2O/H2SO4. Why are two products formed in part (b), but only one in parts (a) and (c)? (a) 1-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular for- mula of C6H14O. (b) 2-Hexene gives two alcohols, each with a molecu- lar formula of C6H14O. (c) 3-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular for- mula of C6H14O.arrow_forward
