1,2-Diols are converted to carbonyl compounds when treated with strong acids, in a reaction called the pinacol rearrangement. (a) Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction. (Hint: The reaction proceeds by way of carbocation intermediates.) (b) Assuming that the pinacol rearrangement occurs via the more stable carbocation, draw the rearrangement product formed from diol D.
1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia.           (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile?           (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?
(a) Add curved arrows for each step to show how A is converted to the epoxy ketone C. (b) Classify the conversion of A to C as a substitution, elimination, or addition. (c) Draw one additional resonance structure for B.
