1. Name the following dienes and label them as isolated or conjugated.

 

 

H2C=CHCH=CHCH2CH2CH2CH3

 

1,3-octadiene, “conjugated”

 

H2C=CHCH2CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH=CH2

 

4-methyl-1,7-octadiene, “isolated”

 

 

2. See "Dienes Resonance"  

 

 

3. Predict the major product from the dehydrohalogenation of:

 

4-bromo-1-hexene (H2C=CHCH2CH(Br)CH2CH3) + KOH (alcohol) ------>

 

H2C=CHCH=CHCH2CH3 (major because it is conjugated)

 

H2C=CHCH2CH=CHCH3 (minor, isolated diene)
