Chapter 25, Problem 51QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The organic product and the chemical reaction is to be written for the compound $2-\text{bromopropane }\left[{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\text{CHBr}\right]$ under substitution and elimination reaction, the chemical equation is to be written for the compound $1,2-\text{dibromoethane }\left({\text{BrCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Br}\right)$ when ethylene undergoes addition reaction, and the chemical equation is to be written for the isomerization of acetone $\left[{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\text{C}=\text{O}\right]$ to its enol isomer.

Concept Introduction:

Transformation of one molecule into another molecule having same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms is known as isomerization.

When two or more organic molecules are linked together to form a large molecule, it is known as addition reaction.

A substitution reaction is when an atom or groups of atoms is replaced by other atom or groups of atom.

When elimination of two substituents or small molecule occurs in an organic molecule either in one step or two step mechanism, it is called as elimination reaction.
