- An aromatic compound K, whose molecular formula is C8H11N, is examined in the laboratory to elucidate its structure. The following observations were made: A) Compound K is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid but insoluble in sodium hydroxide solution. B) Treatment of compound K with excess potassium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride, C(6)H(5)SO(2)Cl, results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture. The NMR spectrum of compound K is shown below. C) Compound K when treated with acetic anhydride[CH3-C(O)-O-C(O)-CH3], gives compound L, whose molecular formula is C(10)H(13)ON. Compound L is insoluble in dilute acid or dilute base at room temperature, heating compound L in dilute acid or base, however, regenerates compound K. D) When compound L is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, a single product, compound M, with the molecular formula C(10)H(12)O(3)N(2) is formed in excellent yields. On the basis of these observations draw the structures of…arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the predominant form of CF3CH2OH (pK a = 12.4) at pH = 6.arrow_forward(b) 3-methyl-2-butanol reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid to form 2-methyl-2- butene. Write the mechanism for the reaction.arrow_forward
- (1) Predict the outcome of the addition of HBr to (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-methyl-2-butene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many isomers can be formed in each case? (2) Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Draw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.arrow_forwardGive reasons for the following: (i) p-nitrophenol is more acidic than p-methylphenol. (ii) Bond length of C—O bond in phenol is shorter than that in methanol. (iii) (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with sodium methoxide (Na+ _OCH3) gives alkene as the main product and not an ether.arrow_forwardDiazomethane, CH2N2, is used in the organic chemistry laboratory despite its danger because it produces very high yields and is selective for reaction with carboxylic acids. Write the products of the following reactions.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about 3-iodo-2-methylprop-1-ene is/are true? (i) It has an E isomer and a Z isomer. (ii) It can be converted to an alkyl lithium compound in one step by reacting with lithium metal. (iii) It would react with the following reagent to give 2-methylhept-1-ene as the product: CuLiarrow_forward(a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Ethanal and Propanal (ii) Phenol and Benzoic acid(b) How will you bring about the following conversions?(i) Benzoic acid to benzaldehyde (ii) Ethanal to but-2-enal (iii) Propanone to propeneGive complete reaction in each case.arrow_forwardCompounds with more than one hydroxyl group can react with thionyl chloride differently from simple alcohols. In the reaction with thionyl chloride, the butane-1,2-diol gave a single organic product with 85% yield, according to the following balanced equation: (Suggest a reasonable structure for this product and make a mechanism to justify your reasoning using curved arrows to describe the motion of electrons)arrow_forward
