- A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardWhen butane reacts with Br₂ in the presence of Cl₂, both brominated and chlorinated products are obtained. Under such conditions, the usual selectivity of bromination is not observed. In other words, the ratio of 2-bromobutane to 1-bromobutane is very similar to the ratio of 2-chlorobutane to 1-chlorobutane. Can you offer and explanation as to why we do not observe the normal selectivity expected for bromination? Chlorine radicals perform the first propagation step (hydrogen abstraction) comparison to bromine radicals. Under these conditions in radicals form easily in the presence of chlorine radicals. Subsequently, the resulting radicals can react with bromine in a second propagation step to yield monobrominated products.arrow_forwardPredict the coupling products of organometallic substitutions, and use them in syntheses.arrow_forward
- Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.arrow_forwardBoth pyridine and pyrrole are nitrogen containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds. When treated with HCl, only pyridine forms the hydrochloride salt, where as pyrrole is unreactive. What is the best explanation for this observed reactivity.arrow_forward(a) Account for the following :(i) Propanal is more reactive than propanone towards nucleophilic reagents.(ii) Electrophilic substitution in benzoic acid takes place at meta position.(iii) Carboxylic acids do not give characteristic reactions of carbonyl group.(b) Give simple chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:(i) Acetophenone and benzaldehyde(ii) Benzoic acid and ethylbenzoate.arrow_forward

B and C both react with H2 in the presence of Pd-C to form decalin. Ozonolysis of B forms D, and ozonolysis of C forms a diketone E of molecular formula C10H16O2.

- we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?arrow_forwardCompound A of molecular formula C8H₁4 is reduced by sodium in liquid ammonia to give compound of molecular formula C8H16. product (Y). Both A and B undergo hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum catalyst to give 2,5- dimethylhexane. Ozonolysis of B with an oxidative workup produces a carboxylic acid of molecular formula C4H8O2. Reaction of B with a peroxyacid gives a chiral C8H₁40 product, but reaction with bromine gives an achiral C8H₁4Br2 product. What are the identities of A and B? 14 A is 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne; B is cis-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene A is 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne; B is trans-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene A is 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene; B is 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne A is 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene; B is cis-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexenearrow_forwardTwo isomers, A and B, of molecular formula C5H8 undergo catalytic hydrogenation with hydrogen gas and palladium on carbon to form the same C5H10 product. On ozonolysis followed by treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O2), isomer A gave a product of molecular formula C5H8O4 that has two carboxylic acid groups in it whereas isomer B gave a product of molecular formula C5H8O3 that contains a carboxylic acid group and a ketone group. Which of the following isomeric pairs best match this data? a. Isomer A is cyclopentene and isomer is 1-pentyne O b. Isomer A is cyclopentene and isomer B is 1-methylcyclobutene c.
