- 1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia. (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile? (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?arrow_forward10) For the reaction between isopropyl 1-propyl (or 'n-propyl') ether and HBr, which type of reaction best matches the expected products?

Write each step showing all reagents. (a) 1-Butanol (b) 1-Bromobutane (c) 1-Butenearrow_forward
- When 4-penten-2-one is reacted with aqueous NaBH4 (sodium borohydride), the major substrate product will contain the following functional groups: alcohol only. alkene only. ketone only. alkene & alcohol. alkene & ketone, since no reaction occurs under these conditions.arrow_forward1.Name and draw the products of each reaction. (a) 1-propanol + hydrobromic acid → HSO (b) 1-pentanol A HSO (c) N-propylmethanamide + water (d) 3-methyl oct-2-ene + hydrochloric acid - (e) 2-fluoro-2-phenyl butanoic acid + ethanolarrow_forwarda) When (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation, two isomeric products are formed. Give their structures, and label each asymmetric carbon atom as (R) or (S). What is the relationship between these isomers?arrow_forward
