Chapter 15: Q58. (page 570)

Question: Devise a synthesis of 1-methylcyclohexene oxide from methylcyclohexane. You may use any other required organic or inorganic reagents.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

Step by step solution

01

Radical reactions

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

02

Halogenations of alkanes

In halogenation of alkanes, a weaker C-H bond is broken, and a C-X bond is formed (X - Cl, Br, I).

03

 Step 3: Synthesis reaction

  1. Halogenation of methylcyclohexane forms a C-Br bond.

2. The base eliminates HBr, and alkene is formed.

Question: When 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene is treated with HBr alone, the major product is 2-bromo-2,3- dimethylbutane. When the same alkene is treated with HBr and peroxide, the sole product is 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane. Explain these results by referring to the mechanisms.
