Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A mechanism for the formation of the product in the given reaction is to be suggested.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired electron, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
In Michael reaction, the conjugate addition of
If the nucleophile is weak, then the conjugate addition is favored.
Base removes acidic hydrogen and forms the enolate ion.
The enolate adds to the
Protonation of the enolate results in the formation of the final product.
In Knoevenagel condensation, a nucleophilic addition of an active methylene takes place which is further followed by dehydration.

- An example of the McFayden-Stevens reaction is shown below, in which an acyl chloride is converted to an aldehyde. First, benzoyl chloride is reacted with hydrazine, H2NNH2, the product of which is reacted with benzenesulfonyl chloride. The result is a 1-benzoyl-2-benzenesulfonylhydrazide, which, when heated under basic conditions, decomposes into the aldehyde. Provide the detailed mechanism showing the conversion of benzoyl chloride into 1-benzoyl-2-benzenesulfonylhydrazide. H 1. H,NNH2 Na,CO3 CI `SO,C;H5 2.

- Which Description best fits the likely outcome when the ester shown is treated with SO3 and H2SO4? O Ring B will be sulfonated and the SO3H group will be meta to ester oxygen. O Ring A will be sulfonated and the SO3H group will be meta to ester carbonyl. O Ring B will be sulfonated and the SO3H group will be ortho or para to the ester oxygen. O Ring A will be sulfonated and the SO3H group will go mostly ortho or para to the ester carbonylarrow_forwardConsider all of the following data and answer parts (A) through (C): When ketone A is treated with an equivalent of CH3MgI in Et₂0 followed by acid (H30+) workup, two constitutional isomers B and C (C5H100) are isolated. The minor isomer B is a ketone. Isomer C decolorizes solutions of Br₂ and permagnate (i.e. it's an alkene - Chem210). When treated with HCl(aq), C gives two constitutional isomers D and E (C5H9Cl) - Chem210. Chloride D, the major product gives 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene when treated with potassium t-butoxide - Chem210.
