- Ketones and aldehydes react with sodium acetylide (the sodium salt of acetylene) to give alcohols, as shown in the following example: R1 ОН 1. НС—с: Na* R2 R1 R2 2. Нзо" HC Draw the structure of the major reaction product when the following compound reacts with sodium acetylide, assuming that the reaction takes preferentially from the Si face of the carbonyl group. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. CH3 CHarrow_forwardBulky, nonnucleophilic bases favor elimination over substitution. Define this ?arrow_forwardWhich of the following functional groups will react faster and at lower conditions to a nucleophilic attack? (you can think of a nucleophilic attack by an amine). O a. Carboxylic Acid o b. Nitrile о с. Асyl Нalide d. Esterarrow_forward
- Complete the following proposed acid–base reactions, and predict whether the reactants or products are favored.arrow_forwardPredict the product formed in the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and sodium methoxide (NaOCH3). Draw the mechanism for the reaction, showing why the product you have selected is formed.arrow_forwardExplain why pentane-2,4-dione forms two alkylation products (A and B) when the number ofequivalents of base is increased from one to two.arrow_forward
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution usually occurs at the 1-position of naphthalene, also called the a position. Predict the major products of the reactions of naphthalene with HNO3, H2SO4.arrow_forwardRank the reactivity of the compounds below toward nucleophilic acyl substitution by writing the compounds' letters in the proper blanks in the box below. `NH CI Br CH3 CH3 A В C E rank compounds for acyl substitution reactivity most least reactive reactivearrow_forwardWhat type of reaction is this? Br + Br + H2О O SN1 O SN2 O E1 O E2 O Nucleophilic aromatic substitutionarrow_forward
- What explains why many aldehydes and ketones can undergo self- condensation reactions in basic conditions? The alpha carbon can lose a proton and act like a nucleophile and the carbonyl carbon a an electrophile O The alpha carbon can gain a proton and act like an electrophile and the carbonyl carbon is a nucleophile O The oxygen of the carbonyl group can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group Only esters can undergo self-condensation reactionsarrow_forward4) Rank the following compounds in order of increasing reactivity (least to most reactive) with respect to acyl substitution. I. methyl benzoate II. benzoylchloride III. benzamide III < | < ||arrow_forwardCarbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).arrow_forward
