Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The base-promoted hydrolysis reaction of a thio-ester is to be compared with that of an oxygen ester. The effect of resonance stabilization of the carbonyl compound on the base-promoted hydrolysis reaction of a thio-ester and an oxygen ester is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In oxygen esters, ester bonds are more stabilized by resonance but it’s not the same in thio-esters although the electronegativity of sulfur is less than oxygen. The thio-ester sulfur being bigger in size does not participate in resonance because overlapping of orbital is not supported.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of polar stabilization of the transition state on the base-promoted hydrolysis reaction of a thio-ester and an oxygen ester is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The electronegativity decrease when we move down a group in periodic table. Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen. And this is the reason sulfur shows less polarity than oxygen in molecules. Ethylthio-esters are more stable than ethyl ester because of their less polar character. Sulfur being less polar than oxygen atom, polarity in molecule is lesser and therefore transition state is more stable.

(EXM 2, PRBLM 3) Here is this problem, can you explain it to me and show how its done. Thank you I need to see the work for like prbl solving.
can someone draw out the reaction mechanism for this reaction showing all bonds, intermediates and side products Comment on the general features of the 1H-NMR spectrum of isoamyl ester provided below
What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1. PPh3 3 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
