Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A synthesis of estragole starting from 4- methyl phenol possible route has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Methylation: phenol reaction with methyl bromide in the presence of base like sodium hydroxide gives methoxy product.
NBS: N-Bromo succinimide is the brominating agent and it is used as a source of bromine in radical reaction.
The Grignard reaction:
Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides (
Tosylation reaction:
The alcohol is treated with any tosyl chloride (methane sulfonyl chloride) which yields tosylated product this reaction is called as alkyl tosylate and which is shown below,
Elimination reaction: An elimination reaction is removal of two substituents in a molecule and forms alkene.
Lindlar reduction: The
