Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Given that the treatment of α-bromoacetophenone, obtained from acetophenone by bromination, with NaBH4 yields an
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic attack attack of the hydride ion on the carbonyl carbon of the bromoketone and the following internal nucleophilic attack by the negatively charged oxide ion and to eliminate a bromide ion will lead to the formation of the epoxide.
To give:
Given that the treatment of α-bromoacetophenone, prepared from acetophenone, with NaBH4 yields an epoxide. The structure of the epoxide is to be shown and its formation is to be explained.
