a)Draw and name all of the structural isomers that are ketones with five carbon atoms in its longest chain and the molecular formula C5H10O. Can this molecular formula also have an aldehyde structure? If so, illustrate and name the aldehyde. Can this be drawn as an ether? Explain b)write chemical equations for the synthesis of 2-pentanol from an alkene. Use structural formulas for each organic compound. other two questions is attached
for b I'm not sure which is right answer. I got 3 different answers 1)CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CH3+H2O = CH3-CH-CH2-CH3 | OH 2) 1-pentene + H2O + H2SO4 (catalyst) -> 2-pentanol 3) Step1 CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2 +HBr ---->CH3CH2CH2CH(Br)CH3 [2 bromo pentane];this is Markownikoffs' addition. Step2 CH3CH2CH2CH(Br)CH3+NaOH(aq)---->CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3+NaBr(aq)
Which question are you asking about? There's so much going on here!
all
for b im just not sure which is correct one
