Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: All the steps and reagents needed to convert cyclohexane into given compound is to be shown.

Concept introduction: Halogens react with alkanes in presence of heat or light to form alkyl halides. This is known as halogenation reaction. This is a free radical substitution reaction. In this the halogen substitutes the hydrogen atom from CH sigma bond of the alkane.

Dehydrohalogenation reaction is a class of reaction in which the removal of hydrogen halide takes place in the presence of strong base.

The reaction between bromine and alkene proceeds via the formation of cyclic bromonium intermediate. This is an anti addition.

Dehydrohalogenation reaction is class of reaction in which the removal of hydrogen halide takes place in presence of strong base.

In the presence of peroxide, alkene is oxidized to epoxide. This is known as epoxidation. This is a syn addition. The weak pi bond of alkene and weak OO bond of peroxide are broken and two new CO bonds are formed. Breaking of bonds and formation of bonds takes place in single step. mCPBA is meta-chloroperoxybenzoicacid.

Name the following organic compound: CH3 S CH CH3 CH 0 CH, CH, 3-methylsulfide-2-ethoxy butane 2-ethoxy-3-methylthio butane O 3-ethoxy-2-methylthio butane O 2-methylsulfide-3-ethoxy butane O 2-ethoxy-3-methylsulfide butane
Show all steps and reagents needed to convert cyclohexane into each compound: (a) the two enantiomers of trans-1,2- dibromocyclohexane; and (b) 1,2-epoxycyclohexane.
Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octet
