Chapter 16, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The intermediate products formed during the conversion of prop-2-enol to glyceraldehyde and the stereoisomeric form of glyceraldehyde needs to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

>

Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.

>

Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.

>

PCC is a mild oxidizing agent.

>

KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent.

Conversion of a reactant into its derivative can be brought about by a sequence of reactions involving various reagents.

>

Aldehydes can be formed by the mild oxidation of alcohols by PCC.

>

Aldehydes, on reaction with alcohol, in an acidic medium, forms acetal, which serves as the protecting group for the carbonyl and can be cleaved back to aldehyde by acidic hydrolysis.

>

Alkenes in the presence of cold dilute KMnO4 forms cis diols.
