Show the structures of the products expected when limonene reacts with an excess of each of these reagents. limonene (a) borane in tetrahydrofuran, followed by basic hydrogen peroxide (b) m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (c) ozone, then dimethyl sulfide (d) a mixture of osmic acid and hydrogen peroxide (e) hot, concentrated potassium permanganate (f) peroxyacetic acid in acidic water (g) hydrogen and a platinum catalyst (h) hydrogen bromide gas (i) hydrogen bromide gas in a solution containing dimethyl peroxide (j) bromine water (k) chlorine gas (l) mercuric acetate in methanol, followed by sodium borohydride (m) CHBr3 and 50% aq. NaOH

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The alkene reactions in general are addition or oxidation reactions. For the addition reaction, we have to take into account that some of them are marknonikov and other anti-markovnikov. Also for the addition reaction, we will have to take into account if we will have anti or syn products. In the oxidation reaction, we have to know the specifics for each reaction. If the reaction can go to the highest oxidation level, is the double bond is broken, etc.

Each reaction has its specific characteristics (see figures 1 and 2).
