With methyl, ethyl, or cyclopentyl halides as your organic starting materials and using any needed solvents or inorganic reagent
s, outline syntheses of each of the following. More than one step may be necessary and you need not repeat steps carried out in earlier parts of this problem. (a) CH3I (b) I (c) CH3OH (d) OH (e) CH3SH (f) SH (g) CH3CN (h) CN (i) CH3OCH3 (j) OMe
In the attachment you can find all the possible chemical reactions.
Some reaction can not be obtained by using alkyl halides because halides are weak leaving group which can leave compound during reaction easily but hydroxyl groups is a strong nucleophile which can not leave compound easily. So we can obtain alcohol from ethyl bromide, but we can not obtain hydroxyl ion from ethyl bromide.
Molecules make scents. Aromatic ones (That is, containing rings of carbon atoms with delocalised electrons). Some unpleasant smells are due to hydrogen and sulphur groups.
