- (a) The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane in the presence of AlCl3 occurs with a carbocation rearrangement. Give mechanistic explanation and the product formed. (b) Predict the product(s) will be formed from the following reactions: (i) Bromination of p-methylbenzoic acid (ii) Sulphonation of m-bromoanisole (iii) Friedel-craft acylation of o-bromonitrobenzenearrow_forwardFuran undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran.(a) Propose mechanisms for the bromination of furan at the 2-position and at the 3-position. Draw the resonance forms ofeach sigma complex, and compare their stabilities.(b) Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.O Br O123furan 2-bromofuranarrow_forward(a) (i) 3-Methyl-2-butanol will react with sulphuric acid to give two isomeric alkenes in 3:1 proportions.(i) Write down the structures for these alkenes and assign appropriate systematic names to them. (ii) Name the most abundant isomer. (iii) Write down detailed mechanism for the formation of a minor product.arrow_forward
- (3) HI does not undergo free radical addition with 1-butene, even in the presence of a peroxide. Please provide an explanation by analyzing the propagation steps if the same radical reaction occurred with HI. Besides the bond dissociation enthalpies in the appendix, the following approximate bond dissociate enthalpies might be useful to you: ~310 kJ/mol The component of C=C CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂-Br CH3CH₂CH₂CH2-I -290 kJ/mol (C-Br bond) ~235 kJ/mol (C-I bond)arrow_forwardAs we will learn in Chapter 17, reaction of (CH3)2CO with LIC≡CH followed by H2O affords compound D, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 84 and prominent absorptions in its IR spectrum at 3600−3200, 3303, 2938, and 2120 cm−1. D shows the following 1H NMR spectral data: 1.53 (singlet, 6 H), 2.37 (singlet, 1 H), and 2.43 (singlet, 1 H) ppm. What is the structure of D?arrow_forward(b) Answer BOTH parts (i) and (ii). (i) Using your knowledge of silicon chemistry, explain why the synthesis of a compound containing a formal Si=0 double bond is challenging. (ii)Bearing in mind your answer to part (i), suggest a synthetic route to a silanone, R2Si=O, starting from silicon tetrachloride SiCl4 and using any other reagents you choose. Identify all reagents and side-products in your synthetic route and specify your chosen R group, giving reasons for your choice.arrow_forward
- Three compounds, A, B, and C, have the same molecular formula, C5H6. In the presence of a platinum catalyst, all three compounds absorb 3 molar equivalents of hydrogen and yield pentane. Compounds B and C give a precipitate when treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate; compound A give no reaction. Compounds A and B show an absorption maximum near 250 nm. Compound C shows no absorption maximum beyond 200 nm. Propose a structure for A, B, and C.arrow_forwardCompounds B and C are isomers with molecular formula C5H9BrO2. The 1H NMR spectrum of compounds B and C are shown below. The IR spectrum corresponding to compound B showed strong absorption bands at 1739, 1225, and 1158 cm-1, while the spectrum corresponding to compound C have strong bands at 1735, 1237, and 1182 cm-1. 1.Based on the information provided, determine the structure of compounds B and C. 2.Assign all peaks in 1H NMR spectrum of compounds B and C.arrow_forwardOn being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) produced a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each of which had the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of major isomer B or minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures and mechanisms for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forward
