The compound C 12 H 14 O 4 obtained by chromic acid oxidation of 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene is to be determined. The product expected from the chromic acid oxidation of 2,3-dihydroindene is to be determined. Concept Introduction: > Chromic acid is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes alkyl benzene which has at least one benzylic hydrogen. > Benzylic hydrogens are those attached to the benzylic carbon atoms. > The benzene ring itself is not oxidized; only side chains are oxidized to produce benzoic acid. > If a substituent attached to the benzene ring does not have any benzylic hydrogens, it remains as it is in the presence of chromic acid. It is not oxidized.

Basics in Organic Reactions Mechanisms

In organic chemistry, the mechanism of an organic reaction is defined as a complete step-by-step explanation of how a reaction of organic compounds happens. A completely detailed mechanism would relate the first structure of the reactants with the last s…

Heterolytic Bond Breaking

Heterolytic bond breaking is also known as heterolysis or heterolytic fission or ionic fission. It is defined as breaking of a covalent bond between two different atoms in which one atom gains both of the shared pair of electrons. The atom that gains bo…

Polar Aprotic Solvent

Solvents that are chemically polar in nature and are not capable of hydrogen bonding (implying that a hydrogen atom directly linked with an electronegative atom is not found) are referred to as polar aprotic solvents. Some commonly used polar aprotic sol…

Oxygen Nucleophiles

Oxygen being an electron rich species with a lone pair electron, can act as a good nucleophile. Typically, oxygen nucleophiles can be found in these compounds- water, hydroxides and alcohols.

Carbon Nucleophiles

We are aware that carbon belongs to group IV and hence does not possess any lone pair of electrons. Implying that neutral carbon is not a nucleophile then how is carbon going to be nucleophilic? The answer to this is that when a carbon atom is attached t…

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound $C12H14O4$ obtained by chromic acid oxidation of $4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene$ is to be determined. The product expected from the chromic acid oxidation of $2,3-dihydroindene$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:
>
Chromic acid is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes alkyl benzene which has at least one benzylic hydrogen.
>
Benzylic hydrogens are those attached to the benzylic carbon atoms.
>
The benzene ring itself is not oxidized; only side chains are oxidized to produce benzoic acid.
>
If a substituent attached to the benzene ring does not have any benzylic hydrogens, it remains as it is in the presence of chromic acid. It is not oxidized.
