Propose a mechanism and use stability factors to account for the formation of a major product in the reaction of pyrrole with Br2, FeBr3.
Organotin compounds play a significant role in diverse industrial applications. They have been used as plastic stabilizers and as pesticides or fungicides. One method used to prepare simple tetraalkylstannanes is the controlled direct reaction of liquid tin(IV) chloride with highly reactive trialkylaluminum compounds, such as liquid triethylaluminum (Al(CzHs)3). 3SnCl4 + 4Al(C2H5)3 → 3Sn(C2H5)4 + 4AlCl3 In one experiment, 0.160 L of SnCl4 (d= 2.226 g/mL) was treated with 0.346 L of triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3); d = 0.835 g/mL). What is the theoretical yield in this experiment (mass of tetraethylstannane, Sn(C2H5)4)? If 0.257L of tetraethylstannane (d= 1.187 g/mL) were actually isolated in this experiment, what was the percent yield?
Benzene is one of the compounds used as octane enhancers in unleaded gasoline. It is manufactured by thecatalytic conversion of acetylene to benzene: 3C2 H2(g) ⇌ C6 H6(g). Which value of Kc would make this reactionmost useful commercially? Kc ≈ 0.01, Kc ≈ 1, or Kc ≈ 10. Explain your answer
For butenafine, develop a synthesis that starts with napthalene and benzene. (aromatic methyl groups can be converted to alkyl bromides using Br2/light, and aldehydes by heating the alkyl bromide in DMSO, eg. ArCH3 to ArCH2Br then to ArCHO).
