nitriles can be obtained by the reaction of sodium cyanide with an alkyl halide. starting from hexyl bromide, hexyl cyanide is obtained. If this reaction is carried out in methanol, the reaction is completed after 20 hours of heating, whereas only 20 minutes are required if the reaction is carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide ● propose an explanation for the effect of the solvent on the observed reactivity, why could the time taken be longer

An unknown compound is treated with peroxyacetic acid in dilute sulfuric acid. The product of reaction 1 is reacted with excess PBr3 , then excess NaNH2 (reaction 3). The product of reaction 3 is treated with lithium, then n-butylbromide (reaction 4). In reaction 5 the product of reaction 4 is reacted with ozone, then NaHSO3. This final reaction produced 2 acids, propanoic acid and pentanoic acid. What was the original unknown compouond?

Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ( -OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions. However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols lose a proton more easily. Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) CH3CH,OH + NH3 →CH,CH,O-NH CH3 CH3 H3C-C-H+NH3 → H3 C-C-H OH O-NH CH3CH2OH + NaNH, → CH3CH,O-Na* + NH3 CHC12 Cl₂…
