How many alkene products, including E, Z isomers, might be obtained by dehydration of 3-methyl-3-hexanol with aqueous sulfuric acid?
Question:Show the structures of alkenes that give the following products on oxidative cleavage with KMnO4 in acidic solution:
c.

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

c)
In light of the result observed when,adds to 1-butene, what is
the polarity of thebond? Propose a mechanism for the reaction
using curved arrows to show the electron flow in each step.
Question:Predict the products of the following reactions. Don’t worry about thesize of the molecule; concentrate on the functional groups.

An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula reacts with 1 molar equivalent of over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with to give diol B. When oxidized with in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, , and the other fragment is ketone C. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write all reactions, and show your reasoning.
