Chapter 18.3, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To explain the reason when a dilute solution of acetaldehyde is shaken with NaOD in D2O, only the methyl hydrogens are exchanged with deuterium but the hydrogen attached to carbonyl carbon is not.

Concept introduction: When a ketone or aldehyde reacts with a base, it abstracts the alpha hydrogen to form an enolate ion.  The amount of carbonyl compound converted into an enolate ion depend on the pKa of the carbonyl compound.

When acetaldehyde reacts with hydroxide ion, the product formed is water which is a stronger acid than the acetaldehyde.  Therefore, the small amount of enolate ion is formed.

For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new CC bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. ?

Predicting As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C - C bond as its major product: H₂N O H 1. ? 2. H3O+ If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. 0 If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. فا Explanation Check Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
