Isopropyl alcohol is prepared by reacting propene \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHCH}_{2}\right)\) with sulfuric acid, followed by treatment with water. (a) Show the sequence of steps leading to the product. What is the role of sulfuric acid? (b) Draw the structure of an alcohol that is an isomer of isopropyl alcohol. (c) Is isopropyl alcohol a chiral molecule? (d) What property of isopropyl alcohol makes it useful as a rubbing alcohol?
Draw structures for these compounds: (a) cyclopentane, \((\) b) \(c i s-2\) -butene, \((\) c) 2 -hexanol, (d) 1,4 -dibromobenzene, (e) 2 -butyne.
When a mixture of methane and bromine vapor is exposed to light, this reaction occurs slowly: $$\mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{Br}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Br}(g)+\mathrm{HBr}(g)$$Suggest a mechanism for this reaction.
The compound \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) is hydrogenated to an alkene using platinum as the catalyst. If the product is the pure cis isomer, what can you deduce about the mechanism?
Write the structures of three alkenes that yield 2-methylbutane on hydrogenation.
