Draw the structures of all monobromo derivatives of pentane, c5h11br, which contain a 4-carbon chain.
1 answer:
Two or more compounds that have same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms in molecule and thus posses different properties are known as isomers.
The molecular formula of pentane is substituting one hydrogen from pentane with bromine results in the formation of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula,
.
The structure of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 1-bromopentane, 2-bromopentane, and 3-bromopentane and having molecular formula, is shown in the image.
The other two arrangements of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 2-bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is shown in the image.
There are different structures of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula, which contain a 4-carbon chain are 1- bromo-2-methylbutane and 1-bromo-3-methylbutane shown in the image.

Explanation:
Hydration of alkenes is a common reaction in organic chemistry. Hydration is simply the addition of water to an alkene. This is an acid catalysed reaction as we can see from the mechanism attached.
Recall that our task is to carry out the synthesis of 2-butanol using an alkene starting material in which there will be no rearrangement of the intermediate carbocation. If we start with the compound shown in the image (but-2-ene), the first step is the formation of the secondary carbocation. This is followed by the addition of water. Subsequently, the added water is deprotonated by another water molecule to yield 2-butanol and the acid catalyst. All these steps have been clearly outlined in the image attached.
