Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction of capsaicin, with
Concept introduction:
One of the common reactions of alkene is electrophilic addition reaction. An electrophile attacks the double bond and gives the addition product. When unsaturated
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of capsaicin with dilute aqueous
Concept introduction:
In presence of base amides get hydrolyzed. The amide bond
(c)
Interpretation:
The reaction of capsaicin with dilute aqueous
Concept introduction:
Amides can easily be hydrolyzed in presence of dilute acid or bases. Amides upon reaction with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid get hydrolyzed to form a carboxylic acid and corresponding ammonium salt. Amines can be extracted by hydrolysis of corresponding amides.
(d)
Interpretation:
The reaction of capsaicin with
Concept introduction:
In presence of a catalyst the unsaturated bond can be saturated by addition of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen is added to both carbons of double bond. Capsaicin undergoes hydrogenation reaction with hydrogen in presence of a catalyst.
(e)
Interpretation:
The reaction that occurs when product of part (d) is heated with
Concept introduction:
The amide bond can be hydrolyzed in the presence of base or acid. When the amide bond is hydrolyzed in the presence of base as catalyst, then an amine and carboxylate salt is formed. However, when the amide bond is hydrolyzed in the presence of acid, an ammonium salt and carboxylic acid is formed.
(f)
Interpretation:
The reaction of product of part (b) with
Concept introduction:
The sodium salts of carboxylic acids are used to get compound with higher number of carbon atoms. The sodium salts of carboxylic acids are treated with
(g)
Interpretation:
The reaction of product of part (d) when heated with concentrated aqueous
Concept introduction:
The amide bond can be hydrolyzed in the presence of base or acid. When the amide bond is hydrolyzed in the presence of base as catalyst, then an amine and carboxylate salt is formed. However, when the amide bond is hydrolyzed in the presence of acid, an ammonium salt and carboxylic acid is formed.
