In an attempt to synthesize compound C through a two-step process, a chemist discovered after
completing the first step that they had inadvertently produced two distinct compounds, A and B.
Upon examining the infrared spectroscopy (IR) results, it was observed that both A and B exhibited
peaks indicative of a ketone and an ester group. Please provide the molecular structures of A and B.

In a chemical experiment, they noticed that both components, A and B, from a combined
sample turned into a new compound, C, during the following stage. The task is to
determine what compound C looks like and explain how compound A or B changes into
compound C through a reaction. Compound C should be the primary molecule
containing carbon created in this process, not just a by-product.

- Under strongly acidic conditions, hexane is observed to undergo an isomerization process, during which it is converted into branched alkanes having the same molecular formula as hexane (C6H₁4). The rate at which each constitutional isomer is produced is related to the type of acid that is used in the reaction and the degree of mixing that occurs during the reaction (J. Chem.

In the reaction, a triphenylphosphorine ylide, also called a phosphorane, adds to an aldehyde/ketone to give a four-membered cyclic intermediate called an oxaphosphetane. The oxaphosphetane is not isolated but instead spontaneously decomposes to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene. Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C The ylide is formed by reaction of triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, with a primary alkyl halide in an S 2 reaction, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a strong base, such as butyllithium. The carbonyl carbon and the carbon originally bonded to the halogen become the two carbons with the double bond in the product alkene :0: CH3 Com The real value of the Wittig reaction lies in its ability to yield an alkene of predictable structure, as the C-C bond is precisely where the C=O bond was in the reactant and no isomers (other than…arrow_forward
