Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A stepwise mechanism for the given reaction, which results in the synthesis of bisphenol F, is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron deficient chemical species that contains positive charge are known as electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, electrophile takes the position of hydrogen atom by attacking the electron rich carbon atom of benzene.

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, which results in the synthesis of bisphenol F (R = H), an additive used in a variety of packaging materials. Bisphenol F is related to BPA (bisphenol A, R = CH3), a reagent used to harden some plastics, now removed from certain baby products because of its estrogen-like activity that can disrupt endocrine pathways.
Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, a key step in the synthesis of ticlopidine, a drug that inhibits platelet aggregation. Ticlopidine has been used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients who cannot tolerate aspirin.
An allylic alcohol contains an OH group on a carbon atom adjacent to a C—C double bond. Treatment of allylic alcohol A with HCl forms a mixture of two allylic chlorides, B and C. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates how both products are formed.
