Interpretation:
The synthesis of phenylethylamine involved two steps:
The steps involved in the synthesis has to be classified as an addition, elimination or substitution.
Concept Introduction:
The addition, elimination and substitution reactions are types of organic reactions which can be identified by the number of bonds to carbon in reactants and products.
Addition reaction:
The reaction in which two reactants combines with each other to form the product is said to be addition reaction. In addition reactions, unsaturated reactant becomes a saturated product.
Elimination reaction:
The reaction in which one reactant molecule forms two products is said to be elimination reaction. In elimination reaction, a saturated reactant becomes an unsaturated product.
Addition and elimination reactions are opposite to each other.
Substitution reaction:
When a group or an atom in the reactant is substituted by a group or an atom from the other reactant, the reaction is said to be substitution reaction. In substitution reaction, the substitution occurs on the carbon from which a group or an atom is removed.

- (15 pts) Consider the molecule B2H6. Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for the molecule (B2H6).arrow_forwardQ8: Propose an efficient synthesis of cyclopentene from cyclopentane.arrow_forwardQ7: Use compound A-D, design two different ways to synthesize E.
