Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The reason as to why electrophilic substitution occurs on the ring without
Concept introduction: The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one
(b)
Interpretation: The reason as to why electrophilic substitution occurs more readily at
Concept introduction: The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons. The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
- (a) Provide the structures of two possible organic products. (b) Circle the major organic product. NBS hvarrow_forward(a) Which is more reactive towards Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS)? (b) Which of the following is a a meta-substituted compound? (c) Which is the least reactive towards Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS)? (d) Which is an ortho-substituted compound?arrow_forward4) Aromatic compounds are among the most abundant and versatile in nature. From a synthetic point of view, these compounds, despite their stabilities, are quite useful and can undergo reactions under special conditions and by specific mechanisms, such as the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (SAE) and the Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution (SNAr). Based on this, please answer the following items: (a) What are the possible isomeric products for the following reaction? Which structure, A or B, do you expect to predominate? Justify your choice. Write down the detailed mechanism of formation of compounds A and B. What would be the bromination product of each (compounds C and D)?arrow_forward

(b) Which lacks complete cyclic conjugation? (c) Which does not follow the Huckel rule?arrow_forwardThe shrub ma huang (Section 5.4A) contains two biologically activestereoisomers—ephedrine and pseudoephedrine—with two stereogeniccenters as shown in the given structure. Ephedrine is one component ofa once-popular combination drug used by body builders to increaseenergy and alertness, whereas pseudoephedrine is a nasaldecongestant.a.) Draw the structure of naturally occurring (−)-ephedrine, which has the1R,2S configuration.b.) Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)-pseudoephedrine, whichhas the 1S,2S configuration.c.) How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related?d.) Draw all other stereoisomers of (−)-ephedrine and (+) pseudoephedrine, and give the R,S designation for all stereogeniccenters.e.) How is each compound drawn in part (d) related to (−)-ephedrine?arrow_forward
