(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of aldehyde or ketone that is formed from the given alcohol has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Carbonyl compounds such as
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of aldehyde or ketone that is formed from the given alcohol has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones can be synthesized by oxidation or reduction reaction. When a primary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction, the product obtained is carboxylic acid that is formed through the intermediate aldehyde. When mild oxidizing agent is used, aldehyde can be obtained as product from primary alcohol. When a secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction, the product obtained is a ketone. This cannot be further oxidized. Tertiary alcohols do not undergo oxidation reaction. Some of the mild oxidizing agents used are
(c)

- Which of the following alcohols is the MOST soluble in water? O 2-methyl-2-pentanol O 4-methyl-2-pentanol O 3-methyl-1-butanol O 2-methyl cyclohexanolarrow_forwardIdentify the most important aldehyde and ketone from Section 14.4 on the basis of amount used, and list at least one characteristic for each that contributes to its usefulness.arrow_forwardList the following compounds in order of increasing water solubility: a.ethoxyethane b.propanoic acid c.pentane d.1 butanolarrow_forward
- 16-19 2-Me thy 1 propane (bp -12°C), 2-propanol (bp 82°C), and 2-propanamine (bp 32°C) all have approximately the same molecular weight, yet their boiling points are quite different. Explain the reason for these differences.arrow_forward17-60 1-Propanol can be prepared by the reduction of an aldehyde, but it cannot be prepared by the acid catalyzed hydration of an alkene. Explain why it cannot be prepared from an alkene.arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forward
- Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor productsarrow_forward9. Give the structures of the alcohol and the aldehyde or ketone needed to prepare each of the following. H+ 80 H* -애 OH H* Одн OH hemi H* H+ to H* HO hemiarrow_forwardThe following alcohol can be formed via two different Grignard reactions. Draw the GRIGNARD REAGENT which contains a BENZENE ring. Use the covalent format R-Mg-Br instead of the ionic format. Then draw the carbonyl compound Draw the GRIGNARD REAGENT. Use the covalent format R-Mg-Br instead of the ionic format. Then draw the carbonyl compound with a benzene ringarrow_forward
- If the following structure undergoes oxidation reaction, which of the product(s) will form: ОН H2C–CH2-CH2 CH3 O A. Aldehydes only O B. This molecule cannot go through oxidation reaction. OC. Ketone O D. Aldehyde & Carboxylic acid O E. Ether and waterarrow_forward1-Octen-3-ol is a potent mosquito attractant commonly used in mosquito traps. A number of reactions, including hydrogenation, will transform 1-octen-3-ol into a less effective molecule. Draw the structure of a hydrogenation product of 1-octen-3-ol.arrow_forwardenumerate the properties of alcohols contributing to their reactivity with an oxidizing reagent?arrow_forward
