*In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw
one.*
a.) Compounds X and Y both
have the formula C7H14.
Both X and Y react with one molar
equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to
form 2-methylhexane.
The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than
that of Y.
Both X and Y react with HCl to
give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the
major product.
What is the structure of X?
b.) Compounds Y and Z both
have the formula C9H18.
Both Y and Z react with one molar
equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to
form 2-methyloctane.
The heat of hydrogenation of Y is less than that
of Z.
Y and Z each undergo
hydroboration/oxidation to give a primary alcohol (OH attached to a
primary carbon).
What is the structure of Y?
