Give the IUPAC name of the following alcohols.

Many hunting dogs enjoy standing nose-to-nose with a skunk while barking furiously, oblivious to the skunk spray directed toward them. One moderately effective way of lessening the amount of odor is to wash the dog in a bath containing dilute hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and some mild dish detergent. Use chemical reactions to describe how this mixture helps to remove the skunk spray from the dog. The two major components of skunk oil are 3-methylbutane-1-thiol and but-2-ene-1-thiol.

Describes a new method to perform ozonolysis reactions that used pyridine (py) to generate the final aldehydes and ketones in a non-aqueous reaction medium. In a subsequent publication (J. Org. Chem., 2013, 78, 42), Professor Dussault (U. of Nebraska at Lincoln) described a “tandem” process in which two reactions are performed sequentially without having to isolate the intermediate aldehyde or ketone. Show the final product from each sequence. (Hint: The isolated products were from the larger part of the structure. Ignore stereochemistry.)

Show how you would accomplish the following transformations. You may use any additional reagents you need.

Complete the following acid-base reactions. In each case, indicate whether the equilibrium favors the reactants or the products, and explain your reasoning.

a)

b)

c)

d)

e) (CH3)3 C-O- + CH3CH2OH⇄

f)(CH3)3 C-O- + H2O ⇄

g) KOH+ CH3CH2OH ⇄
