Chapter 9, Problem 61IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthetic route for the preparation of given transformation (mechanism) should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Soda amide: The strong base of ${\text{NaNH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{/NH}}_{\text{3}}$ will deprotonate alkynes, alcohols and other organic functional groups with acidic protons such as asters and ketones. It is also a very strong nucleophile. It is a strong base and excellent nucleophile. It’s used deprotonated of weak acids and also for elimination reaction.

Acid-Base Reaction: This type of chemical process typified by the exchange of one or more hydrogens ions H⁺, between species that may be neutral molecules or electrically charged ions.
