Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of Dibenzo-18-crown-6 is to be given and a plausible mechanism for its formation is to be provided.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired electrons, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.

ChemDoodleⓇ <arrow_forwardPropose two different methods to synthesize oct-1 -en-3-ol [CH3(CH2)4CH(OH)CH = CH2] using a Grignard reagent and a carbonyl compound. Oct-1-en-3-ol is commonly called matsutake alcohol because it was first isolated from the Japanese matsutake mushroom.arrow_forward8. An optically active alcohol, A, C,H10O reacts with concentrated H2SO4 at 180 °C to form compound B which can exist as cis-trans isomers. Compond A reacts with hot acidified KMNO4 to produce compound C which can reacts dinitrophenylhydrazine but does not react with Tollen's reagent. The reaction between C and Grignard reagent D yields compound E upon hydrolysis. The with 2,4 structural formula for E is as follows: OH H3C-CH2-C-CH3 H3C-C-CH3 Determine the structure A, B, C and D with appropriate reason.arrow_forward

On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16CO2H, is produced. Ozonolysis of isoerythrogenic acid yields the following products: formaldehyde, CH2O, malonic acid, HO2CCH2CO2H, adipic acid, HO2C(CH2)4CO2H, and the aldehyde carboxylic acid, OHC(CH2)6CO2H.
