CH₂O H O₂N CH₂OCH3 Harrow_forwardAlcohols 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_forwardFor SN1 Explain the order in which 1o (primary) alkyl halides reacted (fastest to slowest) and explain why.

Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene. Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of X? • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. . Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. наarrow_forward
