Chapter 11, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanistic explanation for the compounds, like α haloalcohols, are unstable and not be isolated, is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

α haloalcohols are the compounds that contain an alcoholic group and a halogen group at alpha position that is the carbon, which contains alcoholic group.

Stability of compounds depends upon the equilibrium shift. If the equilibrium shifts to the right, then the product is more stable and if the equilibrium shifts to the left, then the reactant is more stable.

α haloalcohol has one halogen atom and one alcoholic group, due to which it releases hydrogen and halogen atom, and forms more stable ketone.

The first step of the reaction shown is an exhaustive methylation and is one of the SN2, SN1, E2, or E1 reactions. Another piece of information about this full reaction, the second step proceeds via an E2 mechanism. xs CH₂l 13. What is the name of the reaction in the previous question?

A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.
The question is: "Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between pentan-2-one and (CH3)3O– in t-butanol to form an enolate. Draw all electrons and charges on both resonance structures. Then answer the question about the reaction." I got the initial arrows correct, but am not entirely sure what the carbanion intermediate would look like and then what the curved arrows would be to convert it to its final oxanion form
