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)
