Question

Which would be the best way to carry out the following synthesis? a. (1) KOH, C_2H_5OH; (2) BH_3: THF, then H_2O_2, OH^- b. (1) (CH_3)3_COK/(CH_3)_3COH; (2) H_3O^+, then H_2O, heat c. (1) HA, heat; (2) H_3O^+, H_2O, heat d. (1) (CH_3)_3COK/(CH_3)_3COH; (2) BH_3: THF, then H_2O_2, OH^- e. (1) KOH, C_2H_5OH, (2) HA, heat, (3) H_3O^+, H_2O, heat Which would be the best way to carry out the following synthesis? (CH_3)_3COH rightarrow (CH_3)_2CH-CH_2Br a H^+ and heat; followed by HBr b. HBr and peroxides, followed by Br_2 in CCI_4 c. H^+ and heat; followed by HBr and peroxides d. Br_2 in CCI_4; followed by H^+ and heat e. H^+ and heat; followed by Br_2 in CCI_4

Explanation / Answer

14) option d)   

step 1 elimination gives terminal alkene

step 2 hydroboration followed by oxudation.

15) option C

first step 1 elimination

step 2 addition of HBr to alkene in presence of peroxide.
