- A 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. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardGive starting materials, reagents, and conditions that will produce each product.arrow_forwardSynthesize the product from the given material. Give the reagents necessary and draw out any intermediate products along the way.arrow_forward
- Synthesize each compound from benzonitrile (C6H5CN) as the only organic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product must originate in benzonitrile.arrow_forwardThe following compound undergoes an intramolecular reaction to form ethene and a product with a five-membered ring. Identify the product and the catalyst used to carry out the reaction.arrow_forward2-chloropropane is a major product of the reaction of chlorine with propane under ultraviolet light. Write the mechanism for this reaction including the initiation step and the two propagation steps.arrow_forward
- Synthesize each compound, starting from benzene.arrow_forwardProvide reagents and reaction conditions for each steparrow_forwardWhen propene reacts with gaseous hydrogen bromide, HBr, two products, 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane are formed. The reaction is a two-step process in which the electrophilic attack occurs in the first step. Identify the electrophile in this reaction Draw a diagram showing the first step of the reaction that leads to the production of 2-bromopropane.arrow_forward
- An alkene is treated with OsO4 followed by H2O2. When the resulting diol is treated with HIO4, the only product obtained is an unsubstituted cyclic ketone with molecular formula C6H10O. What is the structure of the alkene?arrow_forwardThe SN2 reaction is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Draw the structure of the two reactants and the mechanism of the reaction. The reaction is 1-bromo-3-ethylpentane reacts with cyclohexanol under basic conditions.arrow_forwardIdentify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.arrow_forward
