Using curved arrows, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction of benzene with Cl₂ in the presence of AlBr. Begin with the Lewis acid-base reaction to form an electrophile. Then, continue with the reaction between the Lewis acid-base complex and benzene. You may need to re-draw structures to show certain bonds.

3. When aspirin is made from acetic acid, the by product is H₂O; when acetic anhydride is used, the by-product is acetic acid. When acetyl chloride is used (see above), the by product is HCl. Which route should you use if you were working for Leica, a company that mass produces aspirin on a daily basis? Why?
write the reactions in which one of the following compounds acts on the ammonia solution of silver oxide. a) propene b) bytine-2 c) cyclopropane d) pentin-1
Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of propene. Remember that a mechanism must include curved arrows to show movement of electrons, as well as all intermediates.
The flavors and aromas of almost any fruit are primarily due to esters. In an experiment, an artificial fruit flavor is prepared using the Fischer esterification (reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst). Why is it easier to remove excess carboxylic acid from the product than excess alcohol?
An electron-rich carbon reacts with an electrophile, symbolized as E+. Explain this ?
what is the best way to come up with how to synthesize carboxylic acid , oct-4-yne to butanoic acid, or trans cyclodecene to decanedoic acid . I keep getting confused on how to go from the reactants to product, even with the amines. i can't figure out what to use to get to the product. Please explain Grignard rx as well.
Draw the intermediate product and the final product for the synthesis of ethyl 3-coumarin carboxylate.
Because phenol (C6H5OH) is less acidic than a carboxylic acid, it can be deprotonated by NaOH but not by the weaker base NaHCO3. Using this information, write out an extraction sequence that can be used to separate C6H5OH, benzoic acid, and cyclohexanol. Show what compound is present in each layer at each stage of the process, and if it is present in its neutral or ionic form.
