b) The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a reaction used in Organic Chemistry to convert
carbonyl functionalities into methylene group. The reaction was used to convert
an aldehyde or ketone to an alkane using hydrazine, base and thermal conditions.
The mechanism begins with the attack of hydrazine of the aldehyde or ketone.
Stage 1: The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with hydrazine to produce hydrazine
Stage 2: Reaction with the base and heat to convert hydrozone to alkane
Write the mechanism of the reaction.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A) The haloform reaction proceeds under very difficult conditions and the yield is very low.
B) The haloform reaction is used only for the identification of compounds containing secondary alcohol groups.
C) Methyl ketones or alcohols are oxidized with halogens in acidic solutions to give carboxylic acids and the appropriate haloform product.
D) Enolate anions react rapidly with halogens to give alpha-halocarbonyl compounds.
Convert phenylacetylene to butyl benzene using any necessary organic and inorganic reagents. It will
require multiple steps.

- When toluene is treated with sulfuric and nitric acids under special conditions, three nitro (NO2) groups are substituted for hydrogens at the 2, 4 and 6 positions on the ring (the next section discusses why the 2, 4, and 6 positions are substituted). The product is a highly explosive substance called 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. This subastance is commonly known by a three letter name. What is it?arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate.
