Question. Devise a synthesis of OHC(CH2)4CHO from cyclohexane using any required organic or inorganic reagents.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Organic synthesis

The intentional synthesis of organic compounds from simple substrate molecules and reaction conditions involving both organic and inorganic compounds is known as ‘organic synthesis.’

02

Chlorination

Cyclohexane is chlorinated by treating with chlorine molecule in the presence of UV light to form hexyl chloride

Chlorination of cyclohexane

03

Dehalogenation

Hexyl chloride undergoes dehalogenation to form cyclohexene by the removal of a molecule of HCl.
