- Alcohols A, B and C all have the composition C4H 100. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidized to a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forwardBriefly describe the preparation of alcohols from ketones, and the preparation of alcohols from esters, each using the same Grignard reagent CH3CH2MgCl. Show an example reaction equation involving your own chosen ketone and ester molecules,respectively, to illustrate your descriptionarrow_forwardDraw the structure and name the product formed if the following alcohols are oxidized. Assume that an excess of oxidising agent is used.(i) CH3CH2CH2CH2OH(ii) 2-butanol(iii) 2-methyl-l-propanolarrow_forward
- 1,3-Propanediol, HOCH₂CH₂CH₂OH, is a diol used as a building block in the production of polymers for use in adhesives and coatings. Draw the condensed structure of the most oxidized product formed after the oxidation of 1,3-propanediol.arrow_forwardReaction of butane (CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 3) with Cl 2 in the presence of light forms two different alkyl chlorides that have molecular formula C 4H 9Cl. Draw the structures of both alkyl chlorides.arrow_forwardDraw the structure and name the product formed if the following alcohols are oxidized. Assume an excess of the oxidizing agent is used. If the alcohol is not expected to react with a chemical oxidizing agent, write NR (no reaction).(a) CH3CH2CH2CH2OH(b) 2-butanol(c) 2-methyl-2-propanol(d) 2-methyl-1-propanolarrow_forward

Which cannot be prepared by hydrogenation of a carbonyl compound?arrow_forwardWhen benzene enters the body, it is oxidized to phenol (C 6H 5OH). What is the purpose of this oxidation reaction?arrow_forwardDraw the condensed structural formula or skeletal formula, if cyclic, for the alcohol needed to give each of the following oxidation products: || а. Н—С—Н b.arrow_forward
- 17) This compound is the product of: O II (CH3)2CHCOCH₂CH(CH₂CH3)2 A) the oxidation of a primary alcohol B) the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol C) the reaction of a carboxylic acid and ammonia D) the reaction of a ketone and an alcohol 0arrow_forwardCompound A has the molecular formula C7H12. Hydrogenation of compound A produces 2-methylhexane. Hydroboration-oxidation of compound A produces an aldehyde. Draw the structure of compound A.arrow_forward2. When C4H8 is treated with water and H₂SO4, a tertiary alcohol is produced. Draw the molecular structure which represents C4H8 in this reaction.arrow_forward
