The possible alkenes to produce 1-methylcyclohexanol are  and . (Refer to the attached image)

Further explanation:

Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction:

Oxymercuration-demercuration converts alkene into alcohol in two steps. In the initial step, the alkene is reacted with {\text{H}}{{\text{g}}^{2 + }} salt and nucleophile such as alcohol and water to produce an organomercury intermediate. In second step, the carbon-Hg bond in organomercury intermediate is converted into C-H bond.

In this method the product is obtained in accordance with Markovnikov’s rule, and rearrangement of carbocation does not take place.

The mechanism of Oxymercuration-demercuration is as follows(Refer to the attached image):

Step 1: {\text{Hg}}{\left( {{\text{OAc}}} \right)_2} break and form mercuroacetic cation \left( {{\text{HgOA}}{{\text{c}}^ + }} \right) and {\text{OA}}{{\text{c}}^ - } ions.

Step 2: The mercuroacetic cation reacts with a double bond and forms a cyclic cation.

Step 3:The cyclic intermediate is attacked by the {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}} nucleophile to the most substituted side according to Markovnikov’s rule and forms organomercury intermediate.

Step 4: the carbon-Hg bond in organomercury intermediate is converted into C-H bond.

The methylcyclohexanol has alcohol on tertiary carbon thus the double bond must be attached to the tertiary carbon in initial alkene. This means there are only two possible alkenes that can have double bond attached to the tertiary carbon. These alkenes are 1-methylcyclohexene and methylenecyclohexane.

Answer:

a) methylidenecyclohexane

b) 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene

Explanation:

The given reaction is oxymercuration-demercuration.

This reaction gives alcohol (according to Markovnikov's rule) from alkenes.

The reaction of alkene to give desired  1-methylcyclohexanol is shown in the figure.

The alkenes are:

a) methylidenecyclohexane

b) 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene

Both will give alcohol where hydroxyl group will be on the more substituted double bonded carbon atom.

What is the difference between a plain and a plateau? A. Only a plain is flat, a plateau is steep mountainside. B. Both are flat
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>Both plain and plateau have flat surfaces. However, a plain is located in a low-lying area while a plateau is located on an elevated area. In essence, a plateau can be viewed as an elevated plain or a plain that is bordered by cliffs.</em>

The correct option is B.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of solid sodium hydrogen carbonate Write a balanced chemi
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Na(s) + C(s, graphite) + 1/2 H₂(g) + 3/2 O₂(g) → NaHCO₃(s)

Explanation:

The standard formation reaction is the synthesis of 1 mole of a substance from its elements in their most stables forms under standard conditions. The balanced chemical equation is:

Na(s) + C(s, graphite) + 1/2 H₂(g) + 3/2 O₂(g) → NaHCO₃(s)
