Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The product of given reactions has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Malonic ester synthesis is used to prepare carboxylic acids of the desired length. The malonic ester is reacted with an alkoxide base which removes a alpha hydrogen.
The anion so formed is reacted with an
Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of
One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
(b)
Interpretation:
The product of given reactions has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Malonic ester synthesis is used to prepare carboxylic acids of the desired length. The malonic ester is reacted with an alkoxide base which removes a alpha hydrogen.
The anion so formed is reacted with an alkyl halide. The anion abstracts the alkyl group from the alkyl halide. On heating, decarboxylation takes place which gives the desired carboxylic acid.
Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of aldehydes and ketones. Aldol reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydroxide.
One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
(c)
Interpretation:
The product of given reactions has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Base abstracts a proton and formed enolate will attack the carbon to which halogen is attached, which in turn leads to the removal of halide ion.

- please solve this, and help me know which boxes to check. Thank you so much in advance.arrow_forwardElectronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Describe how electronegativity is illustrated on the periodic table including trends between groups and periods and significance of atom size.arrow_forwardDefine the term “transition.” How does this definition apply to the transition metals?arrow_forward
- Describe how the properties of the different types of elements (metals, nonmetals, metalloids) differ.arrow_forwardUse a textbook or other valid source to research the physical and chemical properties of each element listed in Data Table 1 using the following as a guideline: Ductile (able to be deformed without losing toughness) and malleable (able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking) or not ductile or malleable Good, semi, or poor conductors of electricity and heat High or low melting and boiling points Occur or do not occur uncombined/freely in nature High, intermediate, or low reactivity Loses or gains electrons during reactions or is not reactivearrow_forwardProvide the Physical and Chemical Properties of Elements of the following elements listedarrow_forward
- Questions 4 and 5arrow_forwardFor a titration of 40.00 mL of 0.0500 M oxalic acid H2C2O4 with 0.1000 M KOH, calculate the pH at each of the following volume of KOH used in the titration: 1) before the titration begin;2) 15 mL; 3) 20 mL; 4) 25 mL; 5) 40 mL; 6) 50 mL. Ka1 = 5.90×10^-2, Ka2 = 6.50×10^-5 for oxalic acid.arrow_forwardPredict the major organic product(s), if any, of the following reactions. Assume all reagents are in excess unless otherwise indicated.arrow_forward
