Concept Introduction:
Acid Catalysed addition of water: When water is added to alkyne in the presence of an acid, the product formed will be an enol. Enol contains a double bond and a
If a carbonyl group is bonded to two alkyl groups, it is called as a ketone. The enol formed in the acid catalysed addition of water will be easily converted into a ketone.

- Describe the reaction process of the synthesis of Dilantin from benzil.arrow_forwardPredict the products formed when cyclohexanone reacts with the following reagents.ethylene glycol and p-toluenesulfonic acidarrow_forwardIn which condition can carboxylic acids undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions?arrow_forward
- What is the major advantage of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of esters over acid-catalyzed hydrolysis?arrow_forwardHydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor productsarrow_forwardPrepare the following compounds starting from benzaldehyde and the appropriate ketone. Provide reactions for preparing the ketones starting from aromatic hydrocarbon compounds.arrow_forward
- Please complete the reaction.arrow_forwardWrite chemical reaction of the epoxide preparation by reacting cis-2-pentene with a peroxycarboxylic acid. peroxycarboxylic acidarrow_forwardThe substance provided can be prepared by a nucleophilic addition reaction between an aldehydeor ketone and nucleophile. Identify the reactants from which it was prepared. If the substance is an acetal, identify the carbonyl compound and the alcohol; if it is an imine or enamine, identify the carbonyl compound and the amine.arrow_forward

Propose the mechanism of their formation.arrow_forwardWhich of these is the most viable route for the preparation or synthesis of a carboxylic acid? O Alpha-carbon substitution of ketones O Oxidation of aldehydes O Nucleophilic acyl substitution of amides O Elimination of alcohols O Nucleophilic addition of ketonesarrow_forward
