a.
Interpretation:The structure of trans -1,2-cyclohexanediol should be drawn in the chair form where both hydroxy groups are at equatorial.
Concept introduction: In cyclohexane, all the six carbons are sp3 hybridized so, the expected angle for the connected atoms will be
b.
Interpretation:The flipping of chair during the transformation of trans -1,2-cyclohexanediol to corresponding disilyl ether on reacting with chlorosilane needs to be explained by structural models.
Concept introduction:In cyclohexane, all the six carbons are sp3 hybridized so, the expected angle for the connected atoms will be

(a) OH OH (b) ОН (c) HO CH3CHCH2CHCHCH3 CH2CH2CCH3 -CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 (d) (e) (f) CH3 HO HO OHarrow_forward
- (d) This structure is that of an alcohol with the hydroxyl group on the third C atom of a five-carbon chain.The compound is called pentan-3-olarrow_forwardBent (D) Trigonal pyramidal 5. A student wishes to prepare ethyl acetate from the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid. To be successful, this reaction requires (A) an acidic catalyst. (C) an oxidizing agent. (B) a basic catalyst. (D) a reducing agent. 6. Which alkyl halide reacts most rapidly with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution? (A) CH₂Cl (B) CH₂I (C) (CH3)3CCH₂Cl (D) (CH3)3CCH₂I 57. How many isomers are there with the formula C6H₁4?arrow_forwardH,C-CH-CH-CH, CHO (a) 3-ethyl-2-methybutanal (b) 2, 3-dimethylpentanal (c) 2-ethyl-3-methylbutanal (d) 2-ethyl-3-methylbutan-3-al CHO 2. The IUPAC name of is Br (a) 2-methyl-3-bromohexanal (b) 3-bromo-2-methylbutanal (c) 2-methyl-3-bromobutanal (d) 3-bromo-2-methylpentanal 3. The IUPAC name of the compound HO- isarrow_forward
- 5B In the following reactions, mixtures of alkenes and ethyl ethers are formed. Draw their structures. Explain which is or are likely to be the main product(s) in each reaction. In case of formation of two isomers of alkenes, explain which is formed in greater proportion CH3 CH3 H3C-C H -Br CH3 EtOHarrow_forward4. Which of the following has a higher boiling point? Explain your answer:(a) 2-propanol or 2-butanol(b) Dimethyl ether or ethanolarrow_forward1.Name and draw the products of each reaction. (a) 3-methyl oct-2-ene + hydrochloric acid (b) 2-fluoro-2-phenyl butanoic acid + ethanol → 1arrow_forward
- Write an equation to show the proton transfer between each alkene or cycloalkene and HCl. Where two carbocations are possible, show each. (a) CH,CH,CH=CHCH, (b) 2-Pentene Cyclohexenearrow_forwardWrite structural formulas for all ketones with the molecular formula C6H12O and give each its IUPAC name. Which of these ketones are chiral?arrow_forwardEthers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions. MTBE is synthesized bythe catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint:Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)(b) If the government required that auto fuel mixtures contain2.7% oxygen by mass to reduce CO emissions, how many gramsof MTBE would have to be added to each 100. g of gasoline?(c) How many liters of MTBE would be in each liter of fuel mix-ture? (The density of both gasoline and MTBE is 0.740 g/mL.)(d) How many liters of air (21% O₂ by volume) are needed at24C and 1.00 atm to fully combust 1.00 L of MTBE?arrow_forward
