- Nonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardThe following substances can be prepared by a nucleophilic addition reaction between an aldehyde or ketoneand a nucleophile. Identify the reactants from which they were prepared. If the substance is an acetal, identifythe carbonyl compound and the alcohol; if it is an imine or enamine, identify the carbonyl compound and theamine. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just giveone. Use Grignard reagents when an organometallic reagent is required. Draw the Grignard reagent as acovalent magnesium bromide.arrow_forwardIllustrate the resonance effect of the methoxy group -OCH3, on the structure of the benzene ring. Draw all the oissuvke resonance forms of methoxybenzene, including the hybrid Based on the structures, explain how the presence of the -OCH3 group affects: (i) the reactivity of the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack (ii) the orientation or point of attack of an incoming electrophilic reagent on the benzene ring.arrow_forward
- Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. Draw a diagram to show the mechanism of the reaction of either propanal or propanone with acidified potassium cyanide.arrow_forwardExplain the effect of the -OH group on the relative nucleophilicity of phenol vs. benzene. Describe the importance of both resonance and inductive effects if present.arrow_forwardDescribe how utlraviolet (UV) spectroscopy could distinguish propiophenone from 1-phenyl-2-propanone and p-ethylbenzaldehyde. Consider their respective wavelengths at their maximum UV absorbances, (λ max).arrow_forward
- A solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?arrow_forwardThe reaction of 1-bromopropane and sodium hydroxide in ethanol occurs by an SN2mechanism. What happens to the rate of this reaction under the following conditions?(a) The concentration of NaOH is doubled.(b) The concentrations of both NaOH and 1-bromopropane are doubled.(c) The volume of the solution in which the reaction is carried out is doubled.arrow_forwardHydrohalic acids (i.e., HCl, HBr, HI) add to the double bond of alkenes to yield alkyl halides. Shown below is the carbon NMR spectrum of an alkene of formula C5H10. What is the structure of this alkene?arrow_forward
- 4) Aromatic compounds are among the most abundant and versatile in nature. From a synthetic point of view, these compounds, despite their stabilities, are quite useful and can undergo reactions under special conditions and by specific mechanisms, such as the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (SAE) and the Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution (SNAr). Based on this, please answer the following items: (b) How would you prepare the following compounds starting from benzene? Explain the second in a different wayarrow_forwardPropanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.arrow_forwardOn which ring and at what position/s would electrophilic aromatic substitution take place in the molecule below? Briefly account for your choice. A B CH3arrow_forward
