Chapter 9.6, Problem 14CC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents used to accomplish the given transformation should be draw and identified.

Concept Introduction:

Elimination Reaction: It is just reverse reaction of addition where substituent from the given molecule is removed via E1 (the reaction depends only on the substrate involved in the reaction) or E2 (the reaction depends on both of the substituents in the reaction) mechanism.

Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.

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 esters 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.
