Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The products that would be formed through the indicated sequence of steps from the given starting material are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Ketones react with meta chloro perbenzoic acid to form esters and the reaction is named as Baeyer Villiger oxidation. If the ketone is cyclic then lactones are formed.
The Grignard reagent or RMgX is a reagent which adds on the alkyl groups to the carbonyl moiety and converts
Swern oxidation is a named reaction which involves the conversion of the primary and secondary alcohol to form aldehydes and ketones.
Alcohols can be converted to ethers by the reaction of an alkyl halide with sodium hydride.
Carboxylic acid gets reduced in the presence of lithium aluminium hydride to form an alcohol.
The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with phosphorus ylide forms
Alkenes undergo reductive ozonolysis on the reaction of ozone with methyl sulfide to form aldehydes or ketones.
Alkenes undergo bromination to form dibromo derivatives.
Friedel Crafts acylation is a substitution reaction which involves the substitution of an acyl group on the benzene ring.
