Chapter 24, Problem 24.69QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound in the preceding steps has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Addition reaction: Alkene reacts with polar reagent across the double bond leads to the formation of products.

Markovnikov’s rule:

In the overall reaction, the hydrogen atom (electrophile) is bonded to least substituted carbon and nucleophile is bonded to the most substituted carbon. This is known as Markovnikov’s rule.

Oxidation reaction:

Alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction using oxidizing agent like${\text{KMnO}}_{\text{4}}{\text{or K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cr}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{7}}$ which yields the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Primary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction yields the corresponding aldehyde or acid, secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction yields the corresponding ketone as the product. Tertiary alcohols do not undergo oxidation reaction.
