Question about 4 questions (L5)
Please explain the answers so I can better understand how to work the solution
1. If 3-bromo-1-propanol is treated with NaOH, a compound of molecular! formula C3H6O is formed. Suggest a structure for this product.
2. What product(s) would you expect to form when tetrahydrofuran is treated with excess hydroiodic acid (HI)?
3. Write a suitable mechanism for the cleavage of butyl isopropyl ether with HI at 100 degrees C to form exclusively isopropyl alcohol and 1- iodobutane. Explain why butyl alcohol and isopropyl iodide are not formed in the reaction.
4. There are only four lines in the aromatic region of the fully 1 H decoupled 13C NMR spectrum of propyl p-tolyl ether (110-160 ppm), yet there are six
aromatic carbon atoms. Explain.
