Chapter 8, Problem 60P

Explain why the reaction of 2 bromopropane with NaOCOCH 3 gives ( CH 3 ) 2 CHOCOCH 3 exclusively as product, but the reaction of 2 bromopropane with NaOCH 2 CH 3 gives a mixture of ( CH 3 ) 2 CHOCH 2 CH 3 (20%) and CH 3 CH = CH 2 (80%) .

The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PhOH) with CH2=O, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different.
Propose two different methods to synthesize 1-octen-3-ol [CH3(CH2),CH(OH)CH=CH] using a Grignard reagent and a carbonyl compound. 1-Octen-3-ol is commonly called matsutake alcohol because it was first isolated from the Japanese matsutake mushroom.
The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PHOH) with CH2 = 0, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different. CH3 OH + CH2=0 p-cresol
