3) Draw equations of the following reactions and and explain to which direction is the respective quillibrium
shifted.
a) cyclohexylamine + water
b) aniline + sulphuric acid
c) triethylamine + acetic acid
Both pyridine and pyrrole are nitrogen containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds. When treated with HCl, only pyridine forms the hydrochloride salt, where as pyrrole is unreactive. What is the best explanation for this observed reactivity.
Eugenol is the component responsible for the odor of cloves, which are dried flower buds of the
evergreen tropical tree Eugenia aromatica. The isolation of eugenol from the rest of the constituents of
"oil of cloves" (comprising around 10% of acetyleugenol and caryophyllene) is highly dependent on the
chemically active proton of the phenolic group of eugenol. Draw the structure of the main components
of "oil of cloves" and describe how to isolate or extract eugenol considering its structure.

- Permethrin and Bifenthrin Pyrethrin is a natural insecticide obtained from the powdered flower heads of several species of Chrysanthemum. The active substances in pyrethrum, principally pyrethrins I and II, are contact poisons for insects and cold-blooded vertebrates. Although powders made from Chrysanthemum extracts have found widespread use, the active substances in them are destroyed rapidly in the environment. In an effort to develop synthetic compounds as effective as the natural insecticides but with greater biostability, chemists prepared a series of esters related in structure. Among the synthetic pyrethrenoids now in common use in household and agricultural products are permethrin and bifenthrin. As discussed above, the natural products pyrethrins I and II (not shown) are destroyed rapidly in the environment. One of the key changes in the structures of permethrin and bifenthrin relative to the pyrethrins was the substitution of naturally occurring methyl groups on the alkene with electron withdrawing groups (EWGs) such as chlorine and trifluoromethyl. What reactions of the alkene would the change of methyl groups to EWGs retard? 1. Oxidation of the double bond. 2. Electrophilic addition reactions. 3. Nucleophilic addition reactions. 4.
