Question
Chapter 15, Problem 62P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To prove that a tetrahedral intermediate is formed in the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction in esters is an
For the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate, the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction takes place on the carbonyl carbon in the first step of the reaction.
For the collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate, the group attached to the substituent attached to the acyl group leaves leading to the formation of carbonyl compound and a weaker base.

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.

When n-butyl bromide is treated with sodium iodide (Nal) in ethanol (EtOH), the concentration of iodide quickly decreases, but then
slowly returns to its original concentration. Provide an explanation for these observations, and identify the final product of the
reaction.
Olodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and then bromide displaces the iodide leaving group.
Olodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and the resulting n-butyl iodide undergoes an E2 elimination.

In a Wittig reaction, a ketone or aldehyde reacts as an electrophile with a nucleophile called a Wittig reagent (or phosphonium ylide) to produce an alkene. The Wittig reagent is commonly synthesized first in a two-step process beginning with an alkyl halide, then reacted with the carbonyl compound. In this problem, you'll explore the mechanism of a multi-step synthesis to make an alkene using the Wittig approach.
