Question

Show how each of the following compounds can be synthesized from an alkene:

Short answer

All the reactions are proceeded from alkene in the presence of some conditions.

In this markoniv and antimarkoniv addition takes place.

Markoniv addition= Positive ion will go to that double bonded carbon which has more no of hydrogens attached and negative ion will go towards that carbon which has less number of hydrogens attached.

Step-by-step solution

How the reaction proceed

All the reactions are proceeded from alkene in the presence of some conditions.

In this markoniv and antimarkoniv addition takes place.

Markoniv addition= Positive ion will go to that double bonded carbon which has more no of hydrogens attached and negative ion will go towards that carbon which has less number of hydrogens attached.

Final answer

a) Here markoniv addition takes place as OCH₃^-and H⁺ ions will form.

b) Here Br⁺ and Br^- will form and attached with double bonded carbon atoms.

c) Antimarkoniv addition takes place.

d) Markoniv addition takes place.

e) Markoniv addition takes place.

f) Markoniv addition takes place.
