The following reaction takes place under second-order conditions (strong nucleophile), yet the structure of the product shows rearrangement. Also, the rate of this reaction is several thousand times faster than the rate of substitution of hydroxide ion on 2-chlorobutane under similar conditions. Propose a mechanism to explain the enhanced rate and rearrangement observed in this unusual reaction. (鈥淓t鈥 is the abbreviation for ethyl.

Question: Oxidation of primary alcohol to an aldehyde usually gives some over-oxidation to the carboxylic acid. Assume you have used PCC to oxidize pentan-1-ol to pentanal.
Use chemical equations to show how the following accidents cause injury to the clothing involved (not to mention the skin under the clothing!)
Dimethylamine(CH3) 2 NHhas a molecular weight of 45 and a boiling point of 7.40C. Trimethylamine, (CH3) 3N, has a higher molecular weight (59) but a lower boiling point(3.50C) . Explain this apparent discrepancy.
