Chapter 9, Problem 9.48AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the compound, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{14}}$ which gives only two products on monochlorination and one of which is chiral is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Chlorination is the process of insertion of chlorine in the compound either via addition or via substitution method. Monochlorination means the insertion of single chlorine atom in the compound. Chlorination of alkanes is generally done by using chlorine gas in the presence of light.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structures of four stereoisomeric compounds, ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}\text{O}$, all optically active that contains, no double bond and evolves gas when treated with $\text{EtMgBr}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Grignard reagents are the organometallic reagents used in the organic chemistry. Grignard reagent contains magnesium as metal. This reagent is prepared by reacting alkyl or aryl halides with metallic magnesium under the dry conditions. This is because Grignard reagent reacts violently with the water or any compound having polar hydrogen.
