Chapter 21, Problem 21.6P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

On the basis of the relative boiling point of 2butanone and methyl acetate, the compound having the greater dipole moment is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the bond in the molecule. It is defined as the product of the separation of charges and its magnitude. It is represented as shown below.

μ=δd

Dipole moment and boiling point are directly proportional to each other.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why 2butanone has greater dipole moment with the help of vector analysis is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the bond in the molecule. It is defined as the product of the separation of charges and its magnitude. It is represented as shown below.

μ=δd

Answer
2. Provide a clear arrow-pushing mechanism for the following reactions. Do not skip proton transfers, do not combine steps, and make sure your arrows are clear enough to be interpreted without ambiguity. a. CH3 Ph OEt هد Ph CH3 Hint: the species on the left is an ynolate, which behaves a lot like an enolate.
b. CH3 H3C CH3 CH3 H3C an unexpected product, containing a single 9- membered ring the expected product, containing two fused rings H3C-I (H3C)2CuLi an enolate
