Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate of racemization of 2-iodooctane by sodium iodide in acetone is to be compared with the rate of incorporation of radioactive iodine into 2-iodooctane by satisfying the given conditions for each act of exchange.

Concept introduction:

The conversion of optically pure molecule into the mixture of enantiomers (i.e. racemic mixture) is called racemization.

The change in absolute configuration at the chirality center in the substitution reaction is called inversion of configuration.

If the absolute configuration at the chirality center remains same in the substitution reaction, it is called retention of configuration.

2. Provide the structure of the major organic product in the following reaction. Pay particular attention to the regio- and stereochemistry of your product. H3CO + H CN A
Predict the major products of the following organic reaction.
1) The isoamyl acetate report requires eight paragraphs - four for comparison of isoamyl alcohol and isoamyl acetate (one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR) and four for comparison of acetic acid and isoamyl acetate ((one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR. 2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too. 3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of…
