Question
Chapter 28.7, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Determine the mechanism for the cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group by using aqueous ammonia and state the type of occurring reaction.
Concept introduction:
The cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group occurs according to the β-elimination mechanism. In β-elimination mechanism, the bond β to the nucleophilic pair of electrons breaks. The elimination reaction involves the breaking of the sigma (σ) bond and the formation of new pie (π) bond. In this process a lone pair electron forms a double bond as the leaving group departs.
Given information:
The cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group can be done by aqueous ammonia. The by-product of this reaction is acrylonitrile.

Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").
