Interpretation:
The product of the reaction between acetic anhydride and the given reagent is to be predicted. The complete mechanism is to be drawn if the reaction occurs.
Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 21.37P
The product of the given reaction is
The complete mechanism for the reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The reagent is a weak nucleophile
The next step is the nucleophile elimination step. One lone pair of the negatively charged oxygen will move back toward carbon to reform the carbonyl group and eliminate the acetate anion to form the final product, acetic acid.
Thus, the product of the reaction is
And the complete mechanism of the reaction can be drawn as
The product and mechanism of the given reaction were determined on the basis of nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism.
(b)
Interpretation:
The product of the reaction between acetic anhydride and the given reagent is to be predicted. The complete mechanism is to be drawn if the reaction occurs.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acid derivatives undergo acyl group substitution reactions when treated with appropriate nucleophiles. The reaction occurs via nucleophilic addition-elimination involving a tetrahedral intermediate. It may also involve proton transfer step(s), paticularly when the nucleophile being added in the first step is not a strong nucleophile. The reaction occurs if the possible product is more stable than the reactant. If the two are of comparable stability, the reaction will occur reversibly. The order of increasing stability of acid derivatives is

Answer to Problem 21.37P
There is no reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The reagent in this case is an ether. The nucleophilic addition step will produce an unstable intermediate with positively charged oxygen. Since the nucleophile added is an ether, it has no hydrogen attached to oxygen, deprotoantion of this unstable intermediate is not possible.
Therefore, there will be no reaction.
The reaction will not occur as it involves an unstable intermediate with positively charged oxygen.
