Draw what would happen to 2,5-dimethyl-2-hexene in an alkyl halides and alkane reaction. This is for a concept map. So what would the alkene 2,5-dimethyl-2-hexene be as an alkyl halides and how to you go from an alkene to an alkane with 2,5-dimethyl-2-hexene. No bond lines. I know this much for alkene to alkane

1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia. (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile? (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?

Explain the Hydroboration–oxidation two-step reaction sequence that converts an alkene to an alcohol.
Phenol and other derivatives with a single hydroxyl group on the aromatic ring are not easily oxidized to form a ketone. Why is this? Select all that apply: O Phenol is a secondary alcohol; secondary alcohols do not oxidize. O The carbon that the hydroxyl group is attached to in phenol does not have a hydrogen attached. Forming a double bond between the oxygen and the carbon would require breaking up the stable aromatic ring. Phenol is a tertiary alcohol, which does not oxidize.
