Interpretation:
The given observations are to be explained by the halogenation mechanism.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Keto and enol form of carbonyl compounds are constitutional isomers. Inter-convertible keto and enol forms are tautomer.
▸ An enol and enolates can be formed by replacing the hydrogen at the
▸ The
▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of an acid it is called as acid catalyzed halogenation reaction.
▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of a base it is called as base prompted halogenation reaction.
▸ In the base prompted halogenation reaction and acid catalyzed halogenation reaction slows rates are independent from the concentration of the halogens.
▸ The equimolar mixture of two enantiomers are called a racemic mixture.
▸ Racemization takes place at

- Treatment of a cyclic ketone with diazomethane is a method for accomplishing a ring-expansion reaction. The reaction involves the initial nucleophilic attack by diazomethane on the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Collapse of this intermediate is accompanied by bond migration and loss of N,. For example, treatment of cyclohexanone with diazomethane yields cycloheptanone.
