Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using acetylene and other necessary organic and inorganic reagents, the preparation of 2-octanone and 4-octanone is to be shownby using a series of equation.

Concept Introduction:

Alkylation of acetylene takes place in two steps. Acetylene has two acidic protons which can be abstracted by a strong base.

In the first step, the acetylene is treated with sodium amide to convert the acetylene to its conjugate base.

The acetylide ion reacts with an alkyl halide in the second step, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. The halide ion is displaced by an SN2 type of reaction.

This sequence converts acetylene to its monosubstituted derivative which is also a terminal alkyne.

Repeating this sequence of steps using a different alkyl halide converts acetylene to its disubstituted derivative. The triple bond is internal in this derivative.

Hydration of alkynes takes place in two steps producing ketone as the final product.

In the first step, addition of water to the triple bond takes place according to Markovnikov's rule. Hydrogen gets attached to the triple bonded carbon atom having more hydrogens attached to it.

This addition produces an enol which changes to ketone by tautomerization.

The overall addition employs mercury (II) sulfate as a catalyst.

How many signals do you expect in the H NMR spectrum for this molecule? Br Br Write the answer below. Also, in each of the drawing areas below is a copy of the molecule, with Hs shown. In each copy, one of the H atoms is colored red. Highlight in red all other H atoms that would contribute to the same signal as the H already highlighted red. Note for advanced students: In this question, any multiplet is counted as one signal. Number of signals in the 'H NMR spectrum. For the molecule in the top drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in top molecule For the molecule in the bottom drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in bottom molecule
