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

- 3. Substitution and Elimination. Consider the 2° alkyl halide shown below. Draw all major product(s) if it were to be treated with the following reagents. Be sure to consider stereochemistry and include structures of stereoisomers if present. H₂O Na OCH3. Acetonitrile CH3 ~Ire H3C- CH3 -OK* H3CS Na Acetonitrile Brarrow_forwardai. Reaction of the same 1-butene with cold KMnO4/ -OH gives compound ‘C’. Identify compound C. ii. Reaction of 1- butene with Hot KMnO4/-OH gives compound ‘D’ followed by acidification of the mixture to give compound ‘E’. Identify compounds D and E. iii. When 1- butene is treated with HBr in the presence of a peroxide, give the name and structure of the product formed. b. Dehydrohalogenation of alkylhalides always gives more than one product. Using 3, methyl 2-butyl chloride, explain this observation.arrow_forward5- In the Wittig reaction, the lide reacts with an aldehyde to form an alkene. Which of the following best describes the stereochemical outcome of a Wittig reaction when using a stabilized ylide?Produces exclusively E-alkenes.• Produces exclusively Z-alkenes.Produces a mix of Z- and E-alkenes, with Z being the major product.Produces a 50:50 mixture of Z- and E-alkenes) Produces a mix of Z- and E-alkenes, with E being the major product. 4- For the synthesis of ethyl 4-chlorocinnamate via the Wittig reaction, which of the following statements is true regarding the mechanism?O The ylide donates a proton to the aldehyde, directly forming the alkene withoutany intermediates.The ylide forms a stable complex with the aldehyde, which is then reduced toform the alkene.The reaction proceeds through a direct displacement mechanism, where the ylide replaces the aldehyde's oxygen.© The phosphonium ylide attacks the carbonyl carbon, forming a betaine intermediate that undergoes rearrangement to…arrow_forward
- 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane is being reacted with sodium ethoxide in diethyl ether Ethoxide will remove a proton from one of the carbons alpha to the carbon bonded to bromine. The electron pair from the carbon-hydrogen bond will move toward the 1 carbon to form a new pi bond. This will push off the bromine, which will leave with its electron pair to form a bromide leaving group. This will form the product 1-methylcyclopentene and sodium bromide as byproduct. So, is this reaction following an E1 or E2 mechanism? Write out the rate law for this reaction. Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction.arrow_forward1.
