A) An Alcohol X has the structure of (CH,), C(OH)CH(CH,),. i) State the IUPAC name of alcohol X. i) Outline the mechanism for the reaction occurring when alcohol X is converted into 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene in the presence of a strong acid. iii) Name the reaction in part ii). iv) Draw the structure and state the IUPAC name of an isomer of 2,3-dimethyl-2- butene which is also formed in the reaction. v) Explain why two products are obtained. vi) Write an equation for the reaction between alcohol X and ethanoyl chloride. vii) Outline a mechanism for this reaction, using ROH to represent the alcohol in the mechanism.
