Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An aromatic substitution reaction to show the path for the conversion of pentamer to the final synthetic detergent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen gas in the presence of Ni metal catalyst is used to reduce unsaturated hydrocarbon to saturated hydrocarbon. The Fridel-crafts alkylation comprises the alkylation of aromatic ring in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst. Concentrated H2SO4 is used for sulfonation of aromatic compound. This reaction is an example of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. NaOH/H2O is used to convert sulfonic group into sodium salt of sulfonate.

To determine: An aromatic substitution reaction to show the path for the conversion of pentamer to the final synthetic detergent.

Draw one product of an elimination reaction between the molecules below. Note: There may be several correct answers. You only need to draw one of them. You do not need to draw any of the side products of the reaction 'O 10 + x 也 HO + 义 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
What are the angles a and b in the actual molecule of which this is a Lewis structure? H- :0: C=N: b Note for advanced students: give the ideal angles, and don't worry about small differences from the ideal that might be caused by the fact that different electron groups may have slightly different sizes. a = 0° b=0 X
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more products missing from the right-hand side, but there are no reagents missing from the left-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing products to the right-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + This transformation can't be done in one step.
