Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of compounds A and C are to be represented, and the two factors are to be accounted for acid-catalyzed rearrangement of A to B.

Concept Introduction:

When the reaction takes place between organ-halogen and magnesium in a nitrogen environment, this type of reaction is considered as Grignard reaction.

The formula proposed for the Grignard reagent is RMgX, in which R represents the alkyl or aryl group and X represents the halogen.

Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.

Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.

Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.

Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.

Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.

Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.

Carbocation is a molecule having a carbon atom bearing three bonds and a positive formal charge.

Carbocation are generally unstable because they do not have eight electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

The order of stability of carbocation is such that the tertiary carbocation is the most stable whereas the primary carbocation is the least stable, and secondary carbocation lies between primary and tertiary carbocations.

If primary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to secondary or tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.

If secondary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.

The stability of carbocation:

3ocarbocation>2ocarbocation>1ocarbocation>methylcarbocation
