Design a Synthesis of 2-methyl-2-pentanol from 1-bromo-2-methylpentane Part 1: Choose the best option for the immediate precursor to the target molecule. An alkene that has greater substitution on one end of the double bond permits you to control the regiochemistry, placing the OH group selectively on one of the two double bond carbons. This alkene is the best choice, considering the starting material that you have available. Part 2: Choose the best option for the precursor needed to make the alkene. Alkenes can be made in good yield by elimination of HBr from an alkyl halide. Whenever possible, use an alkyl halide that can only make a single alkene by HBr elimination. Part 3: Here is an overview of your retrosynthesis (there is no work, this is just a recap). Part 4 out of 6 Choose the most appropriate reagent(s) for the first step of the synthesis.

See explanation below

Explanation:

The overall question is design a synthesis. The rest of the question is just for you to choose the correct procedure of the synthesis.

Now first of all, you need to know how this reaction goes. We have an alkyl halide that undergoes a whole process to become a tertiary alcohol. Now the first step would be doing a E2 reaction, to eliminate the bromine and turn the molecule into an alkene.

When the molecule is turned into an alkene, we will have a double bond available to do another reaction.

In this case we can use any method to do an alkene hydration. You can use a acid medium, or use mercury compounds among others. This will be through acid medium cause it's easier.

In the picture below, you have the mechanism of this reaction:

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
