Chapter 18.8, Problem DQ

The following sequence of steps is used to create the carboxylic acids that can be used as the first reactant, where X can be a wide variety of groups. Answer true or false about each of the following statements.

Chapter 18.8, Problem DQ, The following sequence of steps is used to create the carboxylic acids that can be used as the first

  1. 1. Step 1 would best be performed at a pH below the pKa of ammonium.
  2. 2. Step 1 would create an imine that undergoes nucleophilic attack by cyanide in Step 2.
  3. 3. The hydrolysis of the nitrile created in Step 2 would be better performed in base rather than the acid shown.
  4. 4. Step 4 is a resolution of a racemic mixture that results from Steps 1–3 and does not require a chiral reagent.
