Question

Question: Using cyclohexane as one of your starting materials, show how you would synthesize the following compounds.

Short answer

The synthesis reaction of given compounds is as follows,

Step-by-step solution

Concept

The bromination reaction is the process by which one or more bromine atoms are added to a chemical. Halogen reaction is also include bromination reactions.

a) 

In this synthesis Cyclohexyl Bromide is made from Cyclohexane. In this conversion all the carbon atoms are located within the cyclohexane ring are identical in nature. Carbon Tetrachloride serves as a solvent and solar energy powers undergoes halogenation reaction to produce the cyclohexyle bromide.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

b)

Any chemical reaction is referred to as a substitution reaction if one functional group is replaced or substituted with different functional group.

In the 1^st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide

In this process of turning cyclohexyl bromide into Cyclohexanol, bromine atoms are substituted via SN₁ mechanism, and silver ions are employed as silver bromide by getting rid of the bromide anion. The presence of water causes the hydroxyl group to bind the ring.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

c)

In the presence of NaCN, ethanol, water and the organic and inorganic solvents, cyclohexyl bromide is transformed into cyclohexyl cyanide, in which bromine atoms are substituted through SN₂ mechanism.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

d)

In the 1^st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide

In the second step, cyclohexyl bromide is converted to cyclohexanol

In third step the zinc chloride used as a catalyst by which the cyclohexanol is attached with the alcoholic hydroxyl group and gives the nucleophilic substitution which is done by ammonia.

The amine base is combines with the acid HBr in the final step to produce bromide salt.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

e)

In the 1^st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide

In the second step, cyclohexyl bromide is converted to cyclohexanol

In the third step, by using metallic sodium, the compound’s cyclohexanol ring is transformed into an alkoxide anion.

In the last step the Methoxy cyclohexane is produced when alkoxide anion works as a nucleophile to remove the bromide anion from methyl bromide.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
