Chapter 8.14, Problem 12LTS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reagents should be predicted for the given transformations.

Concept introduction:

Reagent: reagent is a compound or compound mixture that is used in the chemical transformation of the reactions. Reagents for some reactions are given below.

• Elimination reaction: in elimination reaction, two substituents are removed from the substrate to give the product in presence of base.
• Elimination of compound in presence of bulky base leads to less substituted alkene, in presence of strong base (not bulky) leads to more substituted alkene.
• Addition reaction: in addition reaction, two substituents are added to the reactant without losing any compound.
• Hydro halogenation: hydrogen and halogen added across the double bond of the alkene in Markovnikov’s path is called hydro halogenation. This addition reaction proceeds via anti-Markovnikov’s path in presence of peroxides.

To predict: the steps involved in the given transformation.
