Explain your conclusions.arrow_forward
- One possible way of determining the identity of an alkene, is to let itundergo an oxidative cleavage reaction in the presence of hot basicpotassium permanganate. You are given two containers said to containdifferent alkenes. Container A is marked as cis / trans‐2‐butene andcontainer B as 2‐methyl‐1‐butene. Explain by referring to the formation ofproducts, how you would verify the identity of the alkenes.arrow_forward(a) The reaction of (R)-2-bromopentane with NaOH in ethanol produced a racemic mixture. 3. Br Ho.. NaOH Ethanol Racemic mixture (i) Draw the structures of the products indicating stereochemistry (b) For the reaction in part (a) above describe the effect of each of the following changes on the outcome of the reaction. Provide clear explanations for your answers. (i) The concentration of the nucleophile is doubled. (ii) The solvent is changed from ethanol to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)arrow_forward(c) Outline the mechanism for the bromination of 3-methylcyclobutene.arrow_forward
- Write an equation(s) to illustrate the mechanism for the dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. Give the major product expected from the mechanism and use arrows to indicate electron flow. Why is this reaction referred to as a concerted process?arrow_forwardWhen the alkene below is brominated with NBS reaction can occur at more than one carbon. Select all of the carbons in the structure below to which bromine can become attached upon reaction of the alkene with NBS. • Gray = C; white = H; red = 0; blue = N; dark green = Cl; brown = Br; light green = F; purple = I; yellow = S; orange = P. Double click to select atoms. You can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel (or pinch to zoom on touch screens). Note: When the structure is symmetrical, you need to select every carbon to which bromine may be attached, even if it leads to same product as reaction at another carbon.arrow_forwardwrite our the reaction mechanism for the chromic acid oxidation of isoborneol ( curved-arrow formalism) and write our a balanced red-ox equation for this reactionarrow_forward
