Draw the structure of the major organic product(s) of the reaction. 1. LIAIH4, ether 2. H30* . You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu. .
Reactive Intermediates
In chemistry, reactive intermediates are termed as short-lived, highly reactive atoms with high energy. They rapidly transform into stable particles during a chemical reaction. In specific cases, by means of matrix isolation and at low-temperature reactive intermediates can be isolated.
Hydride Shift
A hydride shift is a rearrangement of a hydrogen atom in a carbocation that occurs to make the molecule more stable. In organic chemistry, rearrangement of the carbocation is very easily seen. This rearrangement can be because of the movement of a carbocation to attain stability in the compound. Such structural reorganization movement is called a shift within molecules. After the shifting of carbocation over the different carbon then they form structural isomers of the previous existing molecule.
Vinylic Carbocation
A carbocation where the positive charge is on the alkene carbon is known as the vinyl carbocation or vinyl cation. The empirical formula for vinyl cation is C2H3+. In the vinyl carbocation, the positive charge is on the carbon atom with the double bond therefore it is sp hybridized. It is known to be a part of various reactions, for example, electrophilic addition of alkynes and solvolysis as well. It plays the role of a reactive intermediate in these reactions.
Cycloheptatrienyl Cation
It is an aromatic carbocation having a general formula, [C7 H7]+. It is also known as the aromatic tropylium ion. Its name is derived from the molecule tropine, which is a seven membered carbon atom ring. Cycloheptatriene or tropylidene was first synthesized from tropine.
Stability of Vinyl Carbocation
Carbocations are positively charged carbon atoms. It is also known as a carbonium ion.
![**Instructions for Drawing the Major Organic Product(s) of the Reaction**
1. **Reaction Scheme:**
- The given reaction involves a carbonyl compound represented as a ketone with the conversion using reagents:
1. LiAlH₄, ether
2. H₃O⁺
2. **Drawing Guidelines:**
- You do not have to consider stereochemistry in this exercise.
- Draw only one structure per sketch. If multiple products are expected, utilize additional sketch panels as needed. Additional sketcher panels can be added via the drop-down menu located in the bottom right corner.
- Use the "+" sign from the drop-down menu to separate multiple products.
3. **ChemDoodle Interface:**
- The image provides a ChemDoodle workspace for drawing the organic structures. Various tools are available for drawing bonds, atoms, and molecular structures.
- The interface includes options for rotating, adding text, and modifying structures to fit the expected reaction outcome.
**Educational Note:**
- The reaction depicted involves the reduction of a ketone to a secondary alcohol using lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄) followed by acid work-up with H₃O⁺. Ensure thorough understanding of the reduction mechanism and the structural features of reactants and products.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F529b86fd-80df-416e-a592-e1d0472fa200%2Ff3807d07-f717-4995-abc2-42d2ba91e585%2Fdtqz3zx_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
