Chapter 21, Problem 26P

In 1985, T. Katz (Columbia University) discovered that alkynes could participate in metathesis reactions via similar mechanistic processes as alkenes. Below is a reaction involving both an alkyne and an alkene. Draw a mechanism to account for the formation of the indicated diene product.

Give the product and mechanism for the following reaction. Be sure to include all mechanism arrows, lone pairs, and formal charges in your mechanism. The product is an alkene.
The Wolff–Kishner reaction uses hydrazine (H2NNH2) and hydroxide (–OH) to reduce a carbonyl to the alkane. The first steps of the mechanism convert a carbonyl to a hydrazone in a manner similar to imine formation. Draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction from the hydrazone to the alkane. Be sure to add lone pairs of electrons and nonzero formal charges to all species.
If phenoxide ion is allowed to react with 1-bromopentane, pentyl phenyl ether is obtained. However, if cyclohexane is used as the alkyl halide, the major products are phenol and cyclohexene. Explain how these products were formed.
