How would we perform the following chemical transformations?
"1. ethyl bromide to 2-butanol;"
"2. ethyl bromide to ethyl alcohol;"
"3. ethyl bromide to ethane;"
"4. ethyl bromide to ethyl chloride?"
"5. ethyl bromide to acetic acid;"
"6. ethyl bromide to ethylene;"
"7. ethyl bromide to propane?"
1 Answer
To make
Explanation:
These are possible reactions; there are many alternatives, and the proposed route might be highly impractical:
(the alcohol results after aqueous workup of the magnesium alkoxide.)
This reduction reaction would be hard to accomplish.
Again, these are suggestions. There are many possibilities.
