Question

11.       What is the IUPAC name of the major organic product formed when

                                    2-methylcyclohexanol reacts with sulfuric acid?

            12.       What is the IUPAC name of the major organic product formed when

                                    cyclopentanol reacts with potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) ?

            13.       Starting with propylbenzene, synthesize meta-bromobenzoic acid.

                                    You may use any other organic or inorganic reagents that you

                                    wish.    More than one step will be required -- be sure to list the

                                    steps (including reagents and catalysts) in the correct order.  

            14.       In one or two sentences, briefly explain why phenol (pK_a = 10) is a

                                    stronger acid than cyclohexanol (pK_a = 16) is.

            15.       Provide an acceptable name for the compound below.

                                    CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-NH-CH₂-CH₃

Answer 1

11.2-Methyl cyclohexene

12.Cyclopentan-1-oic acid/cyclopentanoic acid

13.Hydrolysis of propyl benzene with potassium permanganate with basic medium will lead to formation of benzoic acid,then bromination of benzoic acid with iron bromide in bromine solution will form meta bromo benzoic acid

14. The conjugate base of phenol that is phenoxide ion is more stable than conjugate base of cyclohexanol because phenoxide ion is very much stable due to strong resonance.So phenoxide ion is a weak base and it's conjugate acid that is phenol is a strong acid

15.1-Ethyl amino pentane
