In laboratory, Dr. Nur found out that the hydrolysis of nitriles (R—CN) when heated under reflux with dilute sulfuric acid yielded a major compound A. When compound A reacts with element N it showed that two products are produced (salt and gas). Meanwhile, the reaction of compound A with methanol yielded aromatic scent of compound B. She also noticed two products (compounds C and D) were obtained when she react compound B with reagent Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH4). Dr. Nur was observed compound C can be prepared naturally in the presence of enzymes in yeast through anaerobic conditions. Further investigation showed when compounds C and D can react with acidified potassium permanganate will produce compound (compounds E and F) with similar functional group. Dr. Nur also discovered compound E will produce silver mirror when react with reagent M and vice versa from compound F. Identify the possible expanded structure of compound A, B, C, D, E and F. Predict the…
In the reaction of trans-cinnamaldehyde under the conditions of 2-propanol and gamma-Al2O3, the product yielded is cinnamyl alcohol. When the reaction was first performed the GC and IR showed signals of the formation of a carbocation-like intermediate on the phenyl ring. The 2-propanol used contained high amounts of HCl. How does the high amount of HCl in 2-propanol affect gamma-Al2O? Also, show the intermediate that was formed? The second reaction performed did not contain high amounts of HCl so the product formed was cinnamyl alcohol. Draw the proton NMR spectrum of cinnamyl alcohol.
