Interpretation:
The structure of B is to be determined with the help of given information.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired electrons, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is one of the most capable analytical techniques used for determining the
Few elements, such as
In
Induced magnetic field consists of electricity generated from movement in a magnetic field.
Any signal’s position on the X-axis in the
The number of signals in
The area covered by the signal is proportional to the number of equivalent protons causing the signal.
The hydrogen atom on adjacent carbon atoms splits the peak into two or more peaks. One, two, and three hydrogen atoms split the peak into two, three and four peaks, which further, is referred to as doublet, triplet or quartet.
The decrease in the electron density around a proton deshields the signal downfield at a larger value of chemical shift.
The increase in electron density shields the signal upfield at a lower value of chemical shift.
Infrared spectroscopy is a simple, instrumental technique, which helps to determine the presence of various functional groups.
It depends on the interactions of atoms or molecules with the electromagnetic radiation.
Infrared spectroscopy is most commonly used in the identification of the structure of the compound.
Infrared spectroscopy is the examination of the infrared light interacting with a molecule. The examination can be done in three ways, that is, by measuring absorption, emission, and reflection, and it can also measure the vibration of atoms.
Ozonization is a method used for the oxidative degradation of lignin. Ozone is used as an oxidant. It cleaves the carbon-carbon bonds of aromatic ring.
Sodium borohydride is used as a reducing agent.
Sodium borohydride causes reduction of aldehyde into alcohol
