Chapter 13, Problem 45P
Two controversial “hard” insecticides are aldrin and dieldrin. [The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) halted the use of these insecticides because of possible harmful side effects and because they are not biodegradable.] The commercial synthesis of aldrin began with hexachlorocyclopentadiene and norbornadiene. Dieldrin was synthesized from aldrin. Show how these syntheses might have been carried out.

Enanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop-
wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no
British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of
the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five
finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought
to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death.

How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?
Grignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized.
Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.
Compound F may be synthesised by the method attached:
When 2-chloropropane treated with NaOH and 1-chloropropane treated with NaOH separately produce two different functional groups. Provide both reactions and explain the two different functional groups produced.

The Grignard reaction involves preparation and reaction of a very nucleophilic organo-magnesium compound. The Grignard reagent is very reactive and is easily destroyed by reaction with atmospheric water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The Grignard reagent must be prepared under strict anhydrous conditions (dry glassware, dry solvent). The volative solvent, diethyl ether, helps to prevent oxygen or carbon dioxide from entering the reaction vessel. Reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium in ether produces phenylmagnesium bromide. This Grignard reagent then reacts with methyl benzoate to produce the corresponding alkoxide. Reaction of the alkoxide with aqueous acid then produces the alcohol. Ethanol is often present in the technical grade of diethyl ether. If this grade rather than anhydrous were used, what effect, if any, would the ethanol have on the formation of the Grignard reagent? Explain.arrow_forward
