Question 10

This question is about reactions of alcohols.

There are several structural isomers of C4H10O\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O}C4​H10​O that are alcohols, including:

  • CH3CH2CH2CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}CH3​CH2​CH2​CH2​OH
  • CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH(OH)CH}_3CH3​CH2​CH(OH)CH3​
  • (CH3)2CHCH2OH(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CHCH}_2\text{OH}(CH3​)2​CHCH2​OH
  • (CH3)3COH(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{COH}(CH3​)3​COH

Alcohols take part in many different types of reaction, including:

  • elimination
  • oxidation
  • substitution
  • esterification

For each reaction, choose appropriate reagent(s) and/or catalyst, and show the structure of the organic product formed.

a.

Elimination reaction of CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH(OH)CH}_3CH3​CH2​CH(OH)CH3​

[2]
b.

Complete oxidation reaction of CH3CH2CH2CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}CH3​CH2​CH2​CH2​OH to form a carboxylic acid

[2]
c.

Substitution reaction of (CH3)3COH(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{COH}(CH3​)3​COH

[2]
d.

Esterification reaction of (CH3)2CHCH2OH(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CHCH}_2\text{OH}(CH3​)2​CHCH2​OH using ethanoic acid

[2]
