Chapter 18, Problem 18.52P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the given statement that ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate (C6H5CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford ortho- and para-disubstituted arenes, whereas ethyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate (C6H5CH=CHCO2CH2CH3) reacts with electrophiles to afford meta-disubstituted arenes is to be stated.

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.

Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octet
