Tertiary alcohols with two identical alkyl groups attached to the alcohol carbon can be made either from an ester and two moles

of a Grignard reagent, or from a ketone and one mole of a Grignard reagent. Use retrosynthetic analysis to suggest one path of each type to synthesize 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol (or 3‑methylpentan‑3‑ol). Reagent 1 + Reagent 2 ⟶⟶ −→−−H3O+ →H3O+ Route 1: Select an Ester, , and an appropriate Grignard, , to give 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol (or 3‑methylpentan‑3‑ol) after reaction and an aqueous workup. Route 2: Select a ketone, , and an appropriate Grignard, , to give 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol (or 3‑methylpentan‑3‑ol) after reaction and an aqueous workup

Answer:

Route 1: In order to obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol, the reagent 1 should be ethyl acetate (ester) and the reagent 2 should be ethyl magnesium bromide (Grignard).

Route 2: In order to obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol, the reagent 1 should be 3-pentanone (ketone) and the reagent 2 should be methyl magnesium bromide (Grignard).

Explanation:

In planning a Grignard synthesis it is important to notice the groups attached to the carbon atom bearing the alcohol group.

For route 1 the reagent 1 is an ester thus, the R group chousen will be added twice because the first step form a ketone and the second step form the tertiary alcohol. To obtain 3‑methyl‑3‑pentanol the reagent 1 should be ethyl acetate and the reagent 2 should be ethyl magnesium bromide because of that the only possibility.

For route 2 the reagent 1 is a ketone so, only one R group will be added. One possibility is 3-pentanone  as the ketone and methyl magnesium bromide as Grignard reagent.

Why does knowing types of mixtures help you to identify a substance?
Reil [10]

Answer:

This is my own explanation:

Explanation:

It is important to know the mixtures you input together because you may determine the type of substance you produced from different elements and several combinations of matter. This assists in identifying your specific substance.

How many moles are in 5.25 L of oxygen gas as stp
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0, 235 mol

Explanation:

We use the formula PV =nRT. The normal conditions of temperature and pressure are 273K and 1 atm, we use the gas constant = 0, 082 l atm / K mol:

1 atm x 5, 25l = n  x 0, 082 l atm / K mol x 273 K

n= 1 atm x 5, 25l /0, 082 l atm / K mol x 273 K

n= 0, 235 mol
