Explanation:
This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.
The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.
Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.
They must combine in a way to reach 8.
When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.
Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.
Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.
It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.
Answer:
a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol
b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol
Explanation:
For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>
In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

Condensation is a chemical reaction in which two molecules are combined together and as a product formed a large molecule. There is also loss of small molecules in the condensation reaction. And mostly the functional groups combined in the reaction.
The other name for a condensation reaction is dehydration. As there is loss of molecule in condensation reaction, when that molecule is water it is said to be dehydration.
