- The 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_forwardWhen warmed in dilute sulfuric acid, 1-phenyl-1,2-propanediol undergoes dehydration and rearrangement to give 2-phenylpropanal. (a) Propose a mechanism for this example of a pinacol rearrangement (Section 10.7). (b) Account for the fact that 2-phenylpropanal is formed rather than its constitutional isomer, 1-phenyl-1-propanone.arrow_forwardIn the Grignard Reaction experiment what would the reaction mechanism be if the reactants are Magnesium, 2-bromopropane, 4-benzaldehyde, phosphoric acid and diethyl ether, resulting in a product of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-olarrow_forward

Compound EE, C4H3O shows a positive result (formation of yellow precipitate) when reacted with lodoform reagent. Reduction of compound EE with sodium boron hydride, NABH4 followed by acidified water, H3O* produces an alcohol FF. Compound FF is treated with phosporus pentachloride, PCI5 to form compound GG. Prolong heating of compound EE with concentrated solution of acidified potassium permanganate, KMNO4 will form compound HH and II.

- CH3 གོན་ནི། ཡོན་ Br₂, H₂C CH₂Br H3C CH3 H₂C CH3 Aldehydes and ketones can be halogenated at their a-position by reaction with Cl₂, Br2, or 12, under acidic conditions. Using Br₂ under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions :0: :OH н-он H-OH₂ H₂O H₂C. H3C. CH3 CH3 H3C CH3 H3C CH3 Σαarrow_forward5.

H₂O H3C OH Br The a-bromination of carbonyl compounds by Br₂ in acetic acid is limited to aldehydes and ketones because acids, esters, and amides don't enolize to a sufficient extent. Carboxylic acids, however, can be a-brominated by first converting the carboxylic acid to an acid bromide by treatment with PBr3. Following enolization of the acid bromide, Br2 reacts in an a-substitution reaction. Hydrolysis of the acid bromide completes the reaction.
