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.

Answer the following questions for H2CrO4:
Sholpan [36]

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

<h3>What is a strong acid?</h3>

A weak acid is one that is able to ionize completely in solution. The acid called chromic acid H2CrO4 is not  able to ionize completely in solution.

We know that a buffer is composed of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt hence if the acid H2CrO4 is present in a buffer then the other half must be  salt of the acid.

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

Crude oil is derived from which of the following materials?
QveST [7]

I believe that crude oil is derived from plants because it is made up of a liquid that is found beneath the earth surface so I guess you could go with plants it is not an animal or rock or salt so.. could be brainliest not 100% sure so if you are not sure go with your gut

Which of the following is true?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the <u>energy available to do work</u>, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

  • When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
  • When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is

spontaneous in the opposite direction.

  • When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.

If <u>both ΔH and ΔS are positive</u>, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS  term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.
