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.

- Draw the products of this reduction of a ketone with sodium borohydride. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicableIgnore any inorganic byproducts. 1) NaBH4 2) HCI/H2O Select to Drawarrow_forwardWhy do you think people who live at high altitudes are advised to add salt to water when boiling food like pasta? What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forwardpls help asaparrow_forward
