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.

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu

List the following molecules in order of increasing boiling point: Br2, Cl2, F2, I2.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1. None of these have hydrogen bonding.

2. None of these have dipoles.

3. Bigger molecules will have stronger London dispersion forces. So I2 has the strongest forces,

and F2 will have the weakest. Correspondingly, I2 will have the highest boiling point and F2 will have the lowest boiling point.

Answer: F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
