 12 (b) Complete the reaction scheme to show the mechanism of the reaction of 1-bromobutane with OH(aq) to produce R. Include all necessary charges, dipoles, lone pairs and curly arrows and the structure of R. PMT CH3CH2CH2 Br OH (c) But-1-ene reacts with steam as shown to form a mixture of two structural isomers, S and T. major product reflux Cr2O7 2 / H+ but-1-ene + steam [3] minor product S can be oxidised with acidified potassium dichromate(VI) to form compound U. S and U both react with alkaline aqueous iodine. (i) Identify the type of reaction that occurs when but-1-ene reacts with steam.[1] (ii) State what can be deduced about the structure of S from its reaction with alkaline aqueous iodine.[1]UCLES 2017 9701/22/F/M/17<br />
 PMT 13 (iii) Explain why S is the major product of the reaction of but-1-ene with steam.[2] (iv) Draw the skeletal formulae of S, T and U. [3] (v) Write an equation to represent the oxidation of S to U by acidified potassium dichromate(VI). You should use [O] to represent the oxidising agent.[1]UCLES 2017 9701/22/F/M/17 [Turn over<br />
 PMT 14 (d) CH3(CH2)3CO2H is a colourless liquid with an unpleasant odour. It reacts with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce an organic product V, which has a pleasant fruity smell. (i) Name V.[1] (ii) A student analysed CH3(CH2)3CO2H, methanol and V using infra-red spectroscopy. The spectra were returned to the student without labels. Identify which of the infra-red spectra, X, Y or Z, corresponds to V. compound spectrum CH3(CH2)3CO2H methanol Explain your answer with reference to relevant features of the three spectra in the region above 1500 cm1.[4]UCLES 2017 9701/22/F/M/17<br />
