Chapter 8, Problem 39P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for formation of product in indicated reaction should be written.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 8, Problem 39P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction:The carbonyl bond is polar with partial positive charge on carbon and partial negative charge on oxygen as illustrated below.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 8, Problem 39P , additional homework tip  2

Thus it can undergo hydride addition at carbon and proton addition at oxygen. Certain reagents that are useful for such hydride addition at carbonyl carbon include NaBH4 , LiAlH4 . The aluminum and lithium in these reagents such as LiAlH4 tend to push the electron of Al-H bond towards carbonyl carbon. The work up finally yields alcohol as illustrated below:

Would the following organic synthesis occur in one step? Add any missing products, required catalysts, inorganic reagents, and other important conditions. Please include a detailed explanation and drawings showing how the reaction may occur in one step.
This organic molecule is dissolved in an acidic aqueous solution: OH OH A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C = O stretch absorption. That is, there must now be a new molecule present with at least one C = O bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule.
