Chapter 8: Q.8-8-66E-a (page 262)

How would you distinguish between the following pairs of compounds using simple chemical tests? Tell what you would do and what you would see.

(a) Cyclopentene and cyclopentane

Short Answer

Expert verified

Cyclopentene shows the bayer's test and bromine water test but cyclopentane does not show this test.

Step by step solution

01

Bayer's test

Cyclopentene is an unsaturated compound having a double bond, and cyclopentane is a saturated compound having a single bond.

Cyclopentene on reaction with KMnO4 forms 1,2 diol and decolorizes the purple color of potassium permanganate, but cyclopentane does not show decolorization.

02

Bromine water test

Cyclopentene is an unsaturated compound having a double bond and cyclopentane is a saturated compound having a single bond.

Cyclopentene on reaction with bromine water shows decolorization but when cyclopentane reacts with bromine water no decolorization is observed.

Hydroxylation of cis-2-butene with OsO4yields a different product than hydroxylation of trans-2-butene. Draw the structure, show the stereochemistry of each product, and explain the difference between them.

One of the chain-termination steps that sometimes occurs to interrupt polymerization is the following reaction between two radicals. Propose a mechanism for the reaction, using fishhook arrows to indicate electron flow.

Using an oxidative cleavage reaction, explain how you would distinguish between the following two isomeric dienes:

An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent ofH2 over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts withOsO4 to give diol B. When oxidized withKMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2CO2H, and the other fragment is ketone C. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write all reactions, and show your reasoning.
