Propose mechanisms to account for the observed products in the following reactions. In some cases, more products are formed, but you only need to account for the ones shown here.

Show how you would convert (in one or two steps) 1-phenylpropane to the three products shown below. In each case, explain what unwanted reactions might produce undesirable impurities in the product.

A double bond in a six-membered ring is usually more stable in an endocyclic position than in an exocyclic position. Hydrogenation data on two pairs of compounds follow. One pair suggests that the energy difference between endocyclic and exocyclic double bonds is about
9 KJ/mol. The other pair suggests an energy difference of about
5 KJ/mol. Which number do you trust as being more representative of the actual energy difference? Explain you answer.
