Chapter 13, Problem 12MCP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation has to be given why the enol form of phenol is more stable than its keto form.

Concept Introduction:

Keto-Enol Tautomers:

Aldehydes and ketones many exist is an equilibrium mixture of two constitutional or structural isomers called tautomers.  Tautomers differ from one another in placement of a hydrogen atom and a double bond.  One tautomer is the keto form.  The keto form has the structural typical of an aldehyde or ketone.  The other form is called the enol form.

The enol form has a structure containing a carbon-carbon double bond (en) and a hydroxyl group, the functional group of alcohols (ol).  The keto form of aldehydes and ketones is most stable.

Write structural formulas for the major products by doing addition reactions 1. You must add H2 as Pt is catalyst it does not take part in reactions only speed up the process H₂ CH2=CH-CH3 Pt 2. Add HCI break it into H and Cl CH3 HCI 3. Add Br2 only CC14 is catalyst CH3-CH=CH2 B12 CCl4 4. Add water to this and draw major product, H2SO4 is catalyst you have add water H20 in both the reaction below H₂SO4 CH3-CH=CH2 CH3 H2SO4/H₂O CH3-C=CH2 reflux ?
Plan the synthesis of the following compound using the starting material provided and any other reagents needed as long as carbon based reagents have 3 carbons or less. Either the retrosynthesis or the forward synthesis (mechanisms are not required but will be graded if provided) will be accepted if all necessary reagents and intermediates are shown (solvents and temperature requirements are not needed unless specifically involved in the reaction, i.e. DMSO in the Swern oxidation or heat in the KMnO4 oxidation).

Hint These are benzene substitution reactions. ALCI3 and UV light are catalyst no part in reactions and triangle A means heating. A. Add ethyl for Et in benzene ring alkylation reaction EtCl = CH3CH2CL 1) EtC1 / AlCl3 / A ? B: Add Br to benzene ring ( substitution) 2) Br₂ / uv light ? C Add (CH3)2 CHCH2 in benzene ring ( substitution) (CH3)2CHCH,C1 / AICI, ?
