All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeShow how you would synthesize butyl isopropyl sulfide using butan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, and any solvents and reagents you need.
Write structural formulas for the following compounds
(d) diallyl ether (e) allyl ethyl ether (f) cycloheptane oxide
(g) trans-2,3-epoxyheptane (h) (2R,3S)-2-ethoxypentan-3-ol (i) cis-2,3-dimethyloxirane
Propose a fragmentation to account for each numbered peak in the mass spectrum of n-butyl isopropyl ether.
A compound of molecular formula C8H8Ogives the IR and NMR spectra shown here. Propose a structure and show how it is consistent with the observed absorptions.
Propylene oxide is a chiral molecule. Hydrolysis of propylene oxide gives propylene glycol, another chiral molecule.
(a) Draw the enantiomers of propylene oxide.
(b) Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of pure .
(c) Propose a mechanism for the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of pure .
(d) Explain why the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of optically active propylene oxide gives a product with lower enantiomeric excess and a rotation opposite that of the product of the base- catalyzed hydrolysis.
