- 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_forwardThere are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.arrow_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_forward

Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.arrow_forwardThe ester with the formula C8H16O2 gives an alcohol and an acid when hydrolyzed. When the alcohol is isolated and oxidized, it forms a ketone. Which of these formulas cannot be the ester?arrow_forwardWhich of the following structural features could be found in a compound with formula C7H12?arrow_forward
- Compound A is unsaturated hydrocarbon with molecular formula (C6H12) reacted with Br2 in water to form compound B. compound C was produced from the reaction between compound A, sulphuric acid and H2O (g). Compound A undergo hydrogenation to form compound D. Compound E was produced from the reaction of compound A with Br2 in room temperature. Compound A undergo hydrohalogenation in the presences of hydrogen peroxide to form compound F. The reaction between compound F with aqueous sodium hydroxide will form compound G. Compound H was produced when compound F reacts with the aqueous ammonia in ethanol. Compound F also reacts with aqueous sodium cyanide to produce compound I. Draw the possible structural formulae of compounds A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Give the IUPAC nomenclature of compounds H and I. Distinguish between compound A and D.arrow_forwardCompounds X and Y have the formula C6H₁2. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylpentane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is less than that of Y. X and Y react with HBr to form a mixture of the same bromoalkanes, and they both undergo hydroboration/oxidation to give a mixture of the same alcohols.
