Chapter 15, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the two isomeric tertiary alcohols formed by the addition of phenylmagnesium bromide to 4tertbutylcyclohexanone are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Grignard reagnts react with ketones, producing tertiary alcohols.

In a chair conformation of substituted cyclohexane, the largest group should be oriented in the equatorial position in the most stable conformation.

Acid catalyzed dehydration of alcohols produces alkenes. The hydroxyl group attached to the alpha carbon atom is protonated by the acid. The hydrogen atom from the beta carbon atom and the protonated hydroxyl group are eliminated and new carbon-carbon double bond is formed.

Bromine reacts with alkenes in methanol according to the equation: - When this reaction was carried out with 4-tert-butylcyclohexene, only one isomer was formed with the molecular formula C12H23BrO (80% yield). Which of the following is the structure more reasonable for this compound?. Explain your reasoning through acorresponding mechanism.
A compound having the molecular formula C22H32O2 was isolated in 66% yield in the following reaction. Suggest a reasonable structure for this compound. What other organic compound is formed in this reaction?
A hydrocarbon (X), with the molecular formula: C8H14 is reduced in presence of sodium and liquid ammonia to give the only product (Y) with the molecular formula: C8H16. Compounds X and Y both resulting 2,5-dimethylhexane when treated with hydrogen and platinum catalyst (H2/Pt). As a result of the oxidative cleavage of compound Y (by using KMnO4 / H2SO4), a single carboxylic acid derivative with C4H8O2 molecular formula is formed. Again, as a result of the reaction of  Y with perbenzoic acid, the chiral compound C8H14O is observed, but the reaction of compound Y with bromine gives the achiral C8H14Br2 as the product.
