Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 48P
When toluene is sulfonated (concentrated H2SO4) at room temperature, predominantly (about 95% of the total) ortho and para substitution occurs. If elevated temperatures (150–200 °C) and longer reaction times are employed, meta (chiefly) and para substitution account for some 95% of the products. Account for these differences in terms of kinetic and
(Hint: m-Toluenesulfonic acid is the most stable isomer.)

H HO: :Nuc Nuc Weak nucleophiles such as water and alcohols can react with the protonated epoxide. One of the main differences between base-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed epoxide ring openings is the regiochemical product expected. In an acid-catalyzed reaction, if one of the epoxide carbons is tertiary and the other primary, the nucleophile will attack at the more substituted carbon. If the epoxide is monosubstituted, the nucleophile will attack preferentially at the primary carbon vs. the secondary carbon. Which reaction will not give the indicated product? N 1. CH,CH,O 2.

- The oxygen in water is primarily (99.8%) 16O, but water enriched with theheavy isotope 18O is also available. When a ketone or aldehyde is dissolved inH2O, the isotopic label becomes incorporated into the carbonyl group: R2CPO H2O n R2CPO H2O. Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? A) The haloform reaction proceeds under very difficult conditions and the yield is very low. B) The haloform reaction is used only for the identification of compounds containing secondary alcohol groups. C) Methyl ketones or alcohols are oxidized with halogens in acidic solutions to give carboxylic acids and the appropriate haloform product. D) Enolate anions react rapidly with halogens to give alpha-halocarbonyl compounds.arrow_forwardTreatment of a cyclic ketone with diazomethane is a method for accomplishing a ring-expansion reaction. The reaction involves the initial nucleophilic attack by diazomethane on the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Collapse of this intermediate is accompanied by bond migration and loss of N,. For example, treatment of cyclohexanone with diazomethane yields cycloheptanone.
