Chapter 11, Problem 47P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction mechanism for the formation of an anhydride from the reaction of butanedioic acid and thionyl chloride has to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

Dicarboxylic acid reacts with thionyl chloride and undergoes nucleophilic substitiution reaction at one carboxylic group to form acyl chloride.

Acyl chloride is the most reactive carboxylic derivative functional group and hence nucleophilic OH group of the second carboxylic group attacks the carbonyl group of the acyl group. Chloride ion leaves as the leaving group and cyclic anhydride product from the dicarboxylic acid is formed.

टे Predict the major products of this organic reaction. Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between different major products. ☐ ☐ : ☐ + NaOH HO 2 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
Shown below are five NMR spectra for five different C6H10O2 compounds.  For each spectrum, draw the structure of the compound, and assign the spectrum by labeling H's in your structure (or in a second drawing of the structure) with the chemical shifts of the corresponding signals (which can be estimated to nearest 0.1 ppm).  IR information is also provided.  As a reminder, a peak near 1700 cm-1 is consistent with the presence of a carbonyl (C=O), and a peak near 3300 cm-1 is consistent with the presence of an O–H. Extra information: For C6H10O2 , there must be either 2 double bonds, or 1 triple bond, or two rings to account for the unsaturation. There is no two rings for this problem. A strong band was observed in the IR at 1717 cm-1
