Chapter 21, Problem 21.10P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A synthesis of the given compound from butanoic acid is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

The α-hydrogen of carbonyl compounds is relatively acidic and can be replaced with a halogen under basis conditions. This reaction is however not possible in case of carboxylic acids because they are not enolizable. Substituting the α-hydrogen of carboxylic acids is possible only in the presence of either elemental phosphorus or phosphorus trihalide. The reaction is known as Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction. The α-halo derivative can then be used to synthesize other derivatives by substitution with appropriate nucleophiles.
