Question
Chapter 7.SE, Problem 71AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Benzene reacts with alkyl chlorides in the presence of AlCl3 catalyst to yield alkyl benzenes through the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The observation that reaction of benzene with 1-chloropropane yields isopropylbenzene as the major product is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In the first step a carbocation intermediate is formed. AlCl3, being an electrophile, supports this reaction by removing the halide ion. The carbocation formed can rearrange to a more stable carbocation and then react with benzene ring.

NaOH can deprotonate diethyl malonate effectively, but NaOC(CH3)3 is typically used to deprotonate the alkyl-substituted
derivative. Explain why.

Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov
regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called
an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.

The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene.
