Major products of 3-hexyne + H2SO4(aq)

Analyse the effects of the monosubstituets-OH, -Cl, -NO₂ and -CH₃ on the benzene ring and predict how they direct an attacking species (such as NO₂⁺, CH₃⁺, Br₂ and SO₃) to either the 2, 3 or 4 positions on the ring during substitution. Include within this section, the names of the substituted benzene compounds, indicating how the name is based upon the functional group(s) present and the different positions on the benzene ring.

In a table, write the name, molecular and condensed formula of Alkyl groups with the following number of carbons: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

1.    Draw the structure of cetyl myristate, a minor component of spermaceti wax, formed from a 14-carbon fatty acid and a 16-carbon straight chain alcohol. 

State the type of isomerism present in alkene with formula C4H8

Dextroamphetamine is an example of a chiral drug that has been shown to be more effective than its enantiomer Levoamphetamine. Given the active enantiomer below, assign priorities to the CH₃, CH₂, NH₂ and H, and do an RS assignment. How would you distinguish the enantiomers that are present in a sample? How would you determine the % purity? Dextroamphetamine undergoes racemisation, explain the clinical significance of racemisation
