Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The observation, Grignard reaction of cyclohexanone with tert-butylmagnesium bromide yields only about 1% of the expected addition product along with 99% unreacted cyclohexanone. If D3O+ is added to the reaction mixture after a suitable period, however, the unreacted cyclohexanone is found to have one deuterium atom incorporated into it, is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Grignard reagents add to the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones. The addition product when hydrolyzed with aqueous acids yields a secondary alcohol in the case of aldehydes other than formaldehyde and a secondary alcohol in the case of ketones.

Ketones exist in acid catalyzed reversible equilibrium with their enol tatomers.

To explain:

The observation, Grignard reaction of cyclohexanone with tert-butylmagnesium bromide yields only about 1% of the expected addition product along with 99% unreacted cyclohexanone. If D3O+ is added to the reaction mixture after a suitable period, however, the unreacted cyclohexanone is found to have one deuterium atom incorporated into it.

The base-promoted rearrangement of an a-haloketone to a carboxylic acid, known as the Favorskii rearrangement, is illustrated by the conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. Jo Han Sow La NaOH, THF O Nat H3O+ OH NaOH, THF The mechanism involves the following 5 steps: -ō cyclopropanone intermediate 1. Abstraction of a proton to form enolate anion 1; 2. Formation of a cyclopropanone intermediate 2 with expulsion of chloride ion; 3. Addition of hydroxide ion to form tetrahedral intermediate 3; 4. Collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and breakage of the three-membered ring to form carbanion intermediate 4; 5. Proton transfer to form the rearranged carboxylic acid.

The mechanism involves a reaction similar to the E2 elimination, whereby a C=O double bond is formed with a reduced iodine compound as the leaving group. The reaction occurs in a nonaqueous solvent, CH₂Cl₂, so that the aldehyde product can be recovered. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
