The reaction of sodium borohydride with ketones proceeds rapidly at room temperature, forming an intermediate borate ester which is hydrolyzed to give the product alcohol: 4 R2C=O + Na+BH4- ---> (R2CHO)4B-Na+ 2. (R2CHO)4B-Na+ + 2H2O ---> 4R2CHOH + Na+BO2- Rewrite these two steps using benzil as the ketone, and using structural formulas throughout, rather than the condensed forms above. For example, the structural formula for water is H-O-H. Please write them by hand and paste them in.
Compound EE, C5H10O gives a positive result (formation of silver mirror) when reacted with Tollen’s reagent. Reduction of EE with sodiumborohydride, NaBH4 followed by acidified water, H3O+ produces compound FF. Dehydration of compound FF uses concentrated sulphuric acid, H2SO4 at a temperature of 180°C produces compound GG. Compound FF also reacts with hot acidified potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7 to produce 2-methylbutanoic acid, C4H9COOH. Esterification between 2-methylbutanoic acid and methanol, CH3OH produces compound HH. Draw the structural formula of compounds EE, FF, GG, and HH.
Benzoic acid, Ph-COOH (C6H5CO2H), is not soluble in water while it dissolves in ether (diethyl ether), (CH3CH2)2O. Yet upon treatment with sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid turns hydrophilic and dissolves in water. Provide chemical explanation of this observation.
