(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of the product and an intermediate, when hydroboration-oxidation is applied to but2yne.

Interpretation: The structure of the product and an intermediate, when hydroboration-oxidation is applied to but2yne is to be shown.

Concept introduction: Hydroboration-oxidation reactions convert an alkyne molecule in to ketone in the presence of disiamylborane and hydrogen peroxide through the two step mechanism, whereas an alkene molecule in hydroboration-oxidation reaction is converted into alcohol by the addition of water.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason as to why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetrical internal alkyne.

Interpretation: The reason as to why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetrical internal alkyne is to be stated.

b) In order to synthesis 2-phenylpropan-2-ol, you started with a hydration of prop-1-ene using the hydroboration method. Then you oxidized the intermediate with KMNO4. Finally, alkylation using CeHsMgBr was performed to obtain the final product. However, the reaction was not successful. Analyse the reaction by explaining what happened to the reaction and provide the correct synthetic method.
9. Identify the major product of each reaction and indicate whether the reaction is likely to proceed by a bimolecular (SN2) or a unimolecular (SN1) mechanism. Why is each reaction likely to proceed via the mechanism you have chosen? (Hint: The leaving groups -OSO2CF3 and -OMs are also sulfonates (like tosylate, -OTS), so they are also good leaving groups.) a) b) d) Oso₂CF, OMs Br Nal acetone NaCN DMF CH₂OH 80% H₂O, 20% ethanol -6-
The second-order rate constant (in units of M-1s-1) for acid-catalyzed hydration at 25 °C is given for each of the following alkenes: a.Calculate the relative rates of hydration of the alkenes. (Hint: Divide each rate constant by the smallest rate constant of the series: 3.51 x 10-8.) b. Why does (Z)-2-butene react faster than (E)-2-butene? c. Why does 2-methyl-2-butene react faster than (Z)-2-butene? d. Why does 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene react faster than 2-methyl-2-butene?
