Interpretation:Whether monochlorination or monobromination of
Concept introduction: The monobromination or monochlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism.
In the halogenation reaction, the reactivity of tertiary C-H bond is higher than that of secondary which is further higher than primary C-H bonds.
This can be attributed to stability of radical formed upon

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Describe the product formed as a result of the reaction between cyclohexanone and 3-butene-2-one by also writing the mechanism of the reaction.arrow_forwardConsider the monosubstituted benzene reagent X. Nitration of X yields product Y. Product Y is analysed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy (see Figures 1 to 4). Determine the structure of X and Y on the basis of the spectral data provided.arrow_forwardX Upon ozonolysis, Compound X produces two compounds: Compound Y and Compound Z. Compound Y can also be prepared from the following synthetic route: PCC 1. R₂BH, THF 1. Mg. Et₂O PCC Compound Y 2. CH₂Cl₂ 2. NaOH, HO CH₂Cl₂ 3. H₂O* From this information, draw the structures of Compounds X, Y, and Z. For Compounds X and Z, different substituents are possible. For grading purposes, just use hydrogens as the substituents.

- 2-Methylhex-3-yne can be prepared by the reaction of an alkynide with an alkyl halide. Does the better synthesis involve alkynide attack on bromoethane or on 2-bromopropane? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhat organic product would you obtain from reaction of 1-pentanol with CrO3, H2O, H2SO4?arrow_forwardUsing Halogenation in Synthesis Show how cyclohexane can be converted to cyclohexene by a stepwise sequence.arrow_forward
- How many products including stereoisomers are formed when 2,4-dimethylpentane undergoes monochlorination?arrow_forwardPredict the product. Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) formed in the following reactions. Please indicate stereochemistry if appropriate.arrow_forwardMuscalure is the sex attractant of the common housefly. Flies are lured to traps filled with bait that contain muscalure and an insecticide. Eating the bait is fatal. How could you synthesize muscalure using 1-bromopentane as one of the starting materials?arrow_forward
- Identify the substitution products that form when 2-bromo-2-methylpropane is dissolved in a mixture of 80% ethanol and 20% water.arrow_forward5) Compound A reacted with Mg in ether to give B. Compound B is with Ethyl bromide to give Ethyl cyclohexane. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed dehydration of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol gives three alkenes: 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 3,3-dimethyl- 1-butene, and 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene. Draw the structure of the carbocation intermediate leading to the formation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • If more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. • Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. / H₂C CH₂ CH3 CH3 ChemDoodleⓇ On []arrow_forward
