(a)
Interpretation:
The sequence of steps leading to the product and the role of sulfuric acid has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction:
Markovnikov’s rule:
In the overall reaction, the hydrogen atom (electrophile) is bonded to least substituted carbon and nucleophile is bonded to the most substituted carbon. This is known as Markovnikov’s rule.
b)
Interpretation:
The structure of an alcohol that is an isomer of isopropanol has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Structural isomer: Molecules having same molecular formula but has different structural arrangements of atoms.
c)
Interpretation:
Chirality of isopropanol has to be interpreted.
Concept introduction:
Chirality: The presence of four different atoms (or groups) at carbon is known as asymmetric carbon and is known as chiral center of the compound.
d)
Interpretation:
The commercial use for the given compound 2-propanol has to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol:
Commercial use of organic compounds: organic compounds are used as solvent, automobile fuel, lubricants, drugs, etc….
