Under strongly acidic conditions, hexane is observed to undergo an isomerization process, during which it is converted into
branched alkanes having the same molecular formula as hexane (C6H₁4). The rate at which each constitutional isomer is produced
is related to the type of acid that is used in the reaction and the degree of mixing that occurs during the reaction (J. Chem. Soc.,
Perkins Trans. 2 1999, 12, 2715-2718).
Step 1
Draw a bond-line structure of hexane.
Draw Your Solution
There are four branched isomers of hexane. Draw bond-line structures of all four of its isomers.

3. It is required to introduce a halogen group to a five membered ring, thiophene. Discuss
the reaction mechanism involved in the reaction by selecting a suitable halogen group and
analyze why a particular substituted product obtained after the reaction is predominant
over the other possible product(s) with the help of reactions.
To meet the ever increasing demand of global population, the demand for textile products and
consumption of dyes by these industries is increasing.
Organoboranes, such as 1 or 2, are Lewis acids and are observed to be electrophilic in their reactions with other compounds, esp. alkenes. Using your knowledge of molecular structure, explain this observation. That is, what makes organoboranes such good Lewis acids?

- Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate.

(b) Holding the concentration of the iodide ion constant, what change would be observed in the rate if the concentration of the n- propyl bromide was tripled? (b) Assume that this is an exothermic reaction, draw the energy profile and identify the location of the transition state. (c) Draw the transition state for this reaction.

- Provide the reaction mechanisms and reagents used to carry out the synthesis of this molecule.arrow_forwardNaNH2 is typically used instead of KOH to produce alkynes through elimination because NaNH2 is a stronger base. Explain why KOH can be used to create diphenylacetylene.arrow_forwardProteases are enzymes that can break covalent bonds in proteins. Proteases play major roles in the regulation of biological processes, so compounds that inhibit their function, called protease inhibitors, have potential as therapeutic agents. While preparing several potential protease inhibitors, compound 1 was converted into compound 3 via alkyne 2, as shown. (J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 3963- 3972) Draw the structure of alkyne 2, and propose reagents for converting 1 into 3. Step 1 Br Br Ph alle Br Br Edit Drawing OH Modify the given structure of 1 to draw alkyne 2.

- Aromatic compound and reaction intermediate, see questions below. Thxarrow_forwardPropanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.arrow_forwardExplosions occur when the rate of reaction increases dramatically over a short period of time. There are several types of explosions such as autocatalytic explosions, thermal explosions and branched chain explosions.

A) Write the chemical equation involved in this reaction. B) Which will be the major and minor product? What do you expect will be the ratio of n-propyl to isopropyl substitution for p-xylene?arrow_forwardAlkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions -X티 Hö: H-O -CH3 -CH3 H30*arrow_forward
