Interpretation: The reason behind slight amount of
Concept introduction:Certain compounds facilitate the transfer of reagents within immiscible layers via formation of ion pairs so as dissolve the polar parts of reagents and transfer them. These are called phase-transfer catalysts. This type of catalysis is known as heterogeneous catalysis.
When the reaction mixture of electrophilic addition such as
In order to get efficient partition between reagents and reactants in the two phases, reaction mixture is further stirred so as to increase the surface area at the interface. The agitation of mixture with phase transfer catalyst facilities more emulsification and thus accelerates the reaction.

- a) Discuss all the principles that can be used to facilitate acylation reactions. b) Why do aldehydes and ketone undergo addition not substitution reaction? c) What are the disadvantages of carboxylic acid activation using anhydride and also using thionyl chloride (SOCl2) as a reagent?arrow_forwardProvide the structure of the major organic product in the substitution reaction of 3-iodocyclopentene with water.arrow_forwardThe base-promoted rearrangement of an -haloketone to a carboxylic acid, known as the Favorskii rearrangement, is illustrated by the conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. It is proposed that NaOH first converts the a-haloketone to the substituted cyclopropanone shown in brackets and then to the sodium salt of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. (a) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to the proposed intermediate. (b) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of the proposed intermediate to sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate.arrow_forward

- Give Friedal craft alkylation, and friedal craft acylation, sulphonation reactions of styrene ( vinyl benzene).arrow_forward4) The classic synthesis of hydroquinone consists of two steps: a) oxidation of aniline with manganese dioxide in aqueous acid (HCI) to afford p-benzoquinone and b) reduction of the thus-produced quinone with iron powder in water (acid solution) to give hydroquinone. Formulate the respective (balanced) half reactions for the oxidation of aniline with MnO2 and the reduction of the pertinent quinone with Fe powder, respectively. On either side of the half reactions, indicate the oxidation state(s) of the element(s) that is (are) oxidized or reduced, respectively. Assume that the oxidation produces inorganic chlorides as byproducts whereas the reduction affords iron(II) oxide as waste and give a qualitative assessment of the atom-efficiency of this way of producing hydroquinone. Hints: Manganese ends up in the +2 oxidation state and the amino group is converted into an ammonium cation.arrow_forwardQ2) Write a reaction for the following, with explanation. part 1) Dimethyl ketone with Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) part2) Preparation of M. nitro chlorobenzene from benzene, using nitric acid Sulfuric acid, Chlorine, AICI, and any reagent you need. part3) Solvation of ethylene epoxide in acidic mediumarrow_forward
