Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the formation of isopropyl ether as one of the products for the given reaction is to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
In the absence of peroxide, Markovnikov’s addition occurs. The addition of polar reagents like HCl to unsymmetrical

- A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardWrite the mechanism for the following reactions. Explain detail each steps of reactions.a) Halogenation of benzene b) Nitration of benzene c) Sulfonation of benzenearrow_forwardSubstitutions on aromatic rings are generally carried out by electrophilic substitution, but for the synthesis of phenolic compounds and alkoxy benzene it is carried out by nucleophilic substitution, explain why this is so .arrow_forward
- It is often helpful to have more than one way to make a given molecule, as you may not know ahead of time which strategy will be more successful.... 4-Hexyne-2-ol can be made from propene in two different ways – one by way of a bromohydrin, using a protecting group strategy, and another by using an epoxide (which does not need a protecting group strategy). (a) First, give the synthesis which goes through the bromohydrin and uses a protecting group. OH (b) Now, modify the synthesis (you may start with propene, or any other molecule you already made in part (a)) to accomplish the synthesis of 4-hexyne-2-ol using an epoxide.arrow_forwardElucidate the structure, hybridization, stability order and factors affecting the stability of an organic intermediate which is formed by the homolytic bond breaking.arrow_forwardProvide the missing reagents to complete the reactions below, if there is more than one step required, be sure to indicate appropriately.arrow_forward
- please answer part c and d!arrow_forwardThe reaction is a nucleophilic substitution, A is OH- and B is an alkyl bromide. Give the reaction mechanism and explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn base-catalyzed halogenation of acetone, how do you explain why the second and third halogenation takes place on the same carbon but not on the carbon in the other methyl group?arrow_forward
- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis. Give a sequence of reactions that will take the following reactant and give eutypine when the other reactants used in the sequence are acetylene and acetone.arrow_forwardThe following transformation can be accomplished by reactions we have studied in this chapter and Chapter 20. Name the type of reaction used in each step.arrow_forwardbelow. Draw the structure of each intermediate for each reaction. You can use anything with a Provide a reasonable synthesis to produce the compound shown maximum of one carbon atom or propene as your only source of carbon for the synthesis of the compound below. You may use other reagents, solvents, acids and bases (all of which cannot be a source of carbon) for the synthesis of the compound below.arrow_forward
