Show how you would accomplish the following syntheses. Some of these conversions may require more than one step.
(a) isopentyl alcohol isopentyl acetate (banana oil)
(b) 3 -ethylpentanoic acid -ethylpentanenitrile
(c) isobutylamine -isobutylformamide
(d) ethyl acetate 3-methylpentan-3-ol
(e) cyclohexylamine -cyclohexylacetamide
(f) bromocyclohexane dicyclohexylmethanol
Solution:
Here we have to show the following synthesis
Step 1
(a) isopentyl alcohol isopentyl acetate (banana oil)
Isopentyl alcohol in presence of acetic anhydride (CH3-CO-O-CO-CH3) release one molecule of acetic acid and forms methoxy-2-methylbutane.
+CH3COOH
(isopentyl alcohol ) (isopentyl acetate)
