Question
Chapter 12, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A retrosynthetic analysis and a synthetic reaction that could be used to prepare Meparfynol from four carbon atoms are to be written.
Concept introduction:
Retrosynthetic analysis is a method of solving problems related to the preparation of
In this, a target molecule is transferred into simple precursor structures without assuming the starting materials.
A reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product is called a synthetic reaction.

b) The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a reaction used in Organic Chemistry to convert
carbonyl functionalities into methylene group. The reaction was used to convert
an aldehyde or ketone to an alkane using hydrazine, base and thermal conditions.
The mechanism begins with the attack of hydrazine of the aldehyde or ketone.
Stage 1: The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with hydrazine to produce hydrazine
Stage 2: Reaction with the base and heat to convert hydrozone to alkane
Write the mechanism of the reaction.
4) Write the reaction between cyclohexanecarboxylic acid and thionyl
chloride showing all three products (two gaseous and one liquid). Take
the liquid product and treat it with 2 moles of dimethylamine in benzene
as the solvent. You get two products. What are they? Draw their
formulae and write their names.
Suggest possible synthetic route for following transformations. Show the reagents, intermediates and products.

- Amidation Reactions Part A Learning Goal: To identify characteristics common to all amidation reactions, and to apply these generalities in drawing specific amidation reactants or products. Part B Amidation reactions are condensation reactions. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join with a new covalent bond, and this results from the removal of a small molecule such as a water molecule. The reactants in amidation are a carboxylic acid and an amine, and the products are an amide and a water molecule. The carboxylic acid reactant can be of any type. The amine can be simple ammonia (NH₂). a primary amine. or a secondary amine.
