The hydrolysis reaction of alkyl nitrile in presence of acid is written as:
(b)
Interpretation: The alkyl halide that is used to form the given carboxylic acid has to be identified.
Concept introduction: The reaction of alkyl halides with sodium cyanide gives alkyl cyanides or nitriles. After the reaction there is increase incarbon atoms of the alkyl chain of alkyl halide. The nitriles obtained undergo hydrolysis reaction in presence of acid and gives carboxylic acid. The general reaction of alkyl halides and sodum cyanide is written as:

Which of the following compounds is the most soluble in water? a. butanal b. heptanal c. hexanal d. pentanal 56. Which of the following compounds will undergo oxidation using potassium dichromate to form a carboxylic acid? A a. A and B only b. A and C only c. B only d. C only H B o Carrow_forwardWhy are carbonyl compounds considered weakly acidic? Would you expect carbonyl compounds to be more acidic than alkanes? Explain.arrow_forward19 What is the name of this molecule? H. heptanal heptanol heptanone heptanoic acidarrow_forward
- 1. What is the role of the acetic acid in the oxidation of Cyclohexanol to Cyclohexanone? Write the balanced chemical reaction between acetic acid and sodium hypochlorite.2. How do you neutralize the acetic acid regenerated in the reaction? Write the balanced chemical reaction.arrow_forwardHydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor productsarrow_forwardWhat reagents would use to make 2-chloropropane from 2-propanol?arrow_forward
