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.

- Many ethers, including diethyl ether, are effective as general anesthetics. Because simple ethers are quite flammable, their place in medical practice has been taken by highly halogenated nonflammable ethers. Two such general anesthetic agents are isoflurane and enflurane. These compounds are isomeric; isoflurane is 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether; enflurane is 2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether. Write the structural formulas of isoflurane and enflurane.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.

- Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone.

Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is an acetylenic fatty acid that turns a vivid blue on exposure to UV light. 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.

When p-Bromotoluene was mixed with dry ether, the mixture was warmed until the ether begins to boil (34.6 °C). When the reaction is almost complete, dry ice (3-4 mL in a beaker) was prepared and the mixture was poured into it. After some time, 5 mL of 6 N HCl was added. The solvent used for the recrystallization is 100 mL of 30% ethanol. The reaction equation is given on the figure. What is the actual yield? What is the theoretical yield?
