Construct a three-step synthesis of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane from cyclopentanol by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins.
Note that each bin will hold only one item, and not all of the given reagents or structures will be used.
1 answer:
Answer:
(1) Bromination, (2) E2 elimination and (3) epoxidation
Explanation:
- In the first step, -OH group in cyclopentanol is replaced by more facile leaving group Br by treating cyclopentanol with
- In the second step, E2 elimination in presence of strong base e.g. NaOEt/EtOH produce cyclopentene
- In the third step, treatment of cyclopentene with mCPBA produces 1,2-epoxycyclopentane
- Full reaction scheme has been shown below

Answer : The time passed in years is
Explanation :
Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3
a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time passed in years is
