Chapter SRP, Problem 7P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis for the given products is to be outlined by using benzene, toluene or aniline and any other required.

Concept introduction:

Bromination of aromatic rings is possible with Friedel–Craft’s reagent bromine/chlorine in ferric chloride or ferric bromide using N-bromosuccinimide.

Grignard reagents are nucleophiles which are highly reactive, they can be obtained by reacting magnesium in diethyl ether with an alkyl or aryl bromide.

Swern oxidation of alcohols allows conversion of primary or secondary alcohols to an aldehyde or ketone, the reagents involved are oxalyl chloride and an organic base in dimethyl sulfoxide.

Synthesis of β-hydroxyketone is possible by reacting an enolate with a carbonyl compound. Thus, various reagents can be used to convert a functional group to another such that desired molecular structures are obtained.
