Answer

Step by step solution

01

Polymerization

Polymerization is the formation of chain-like or network molecules, called polymers, from relatively small molecules called monomers.

02

Representative segment of Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone):

The representative segment of a polymer means a repetitive unit from which the polymer is made. Here the alkene carbons of N-vinylpyrrolidone join with other monomer units to give Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone).

How many alkene products, including E, Z isomers, might be obtained by dehydration of 3-methyl-3-hexanol with aqueous sulfuric acid?

Question: In planning the synthesis of one compound from another, it’s just as important to know what not to do as to know what to do. The following reactions all have serious drawbacks to them. Explain the potential problems of each.

Iodine azide, adds to alkenes by an electrophilic mechanism similar to that of bromine. If a monosubstituted alkene such as 1-butene isused, only one product results:

a) Add lone-pair electrons to the structure shown for, and draw a

second resonance form for the molecule.

Compound A has the formula C8H8. It reacts rapidly with KMnO4to giveCO2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C7H6O2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H2on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4 equivalents ofH2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C8H16)is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write the reactions.
