Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for transformation of compound 2 to 3 must be drawn and the leaving group must be identified.
Concept Introduction :
Grignard reagents are one class of
(b)
Interpretation:
The irreversible nature of the conversion from 2 to 3 must be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The irreversible reactions are those in which starting materials are not obtained easily from the product.
(c)
Interpretation:
Conversion of 3 to 4 in aqueous acid must be shown with SN1 and SN2 mechanism.
Concept Introduction :
Ether hydrolysis can follow both SN1 and SN2 pathway depending on the structure of the substrate.
(d)
Interpretation:
The by-product alcohol must be identified which is formed during the conversion of 3 to 4.
Concept Introduction :
The ether cleavage produces two alcohols corresponding to the two substituents of the ether.
