The reaction of 1-bromoheptane with the propionate anion to give heptyl propionate ester is greatly accelerated by adding catalytic amounts of KI. Explain.
In the chemical reaction between 1-Bromobutane and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is barely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially the SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.
1) Based on the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the compounds, which of the compounds in this experiment is the most hazardous, and why (you have been given a representative aryl halide rather than all of the alkenes – as the products are all new, there’s not a simple answer to gauge their potential hazard)? 2,3-dihydrofuran,2-Mercaptobenzimidazole,Selectfluor, Dimethylformamide,dichloromethane-methylene chloride.
When the hypochlorite oxidation is performed on secondary alcohols such as 1-phenolethanol, the product of the reaction is benzoate ion and trichloromethane if an excess of hypochlorite is used in the absence of a buffer to keep the pH below 10. Explain the formation of these products (Hint: what reaction do the products remind you of?) Provide a complete mechanism?
The mechanism of the Fischer esterification was controversial until 1938, when IrvingRoberts and Harold Urey of Columbia University used isotopic labeling to follow thealcohol oxygen atom through the reaction. A catalytic amount of sulfuric acid was addedto a mixture of 1 mole of acetic acid and 1 mole of special methanol containing the heavy18O isotope of oxygen. After a short period, the acid was neutralized to stop the reaction,and the components of the mixture were separated.H2SO4OCH3 C O H CH3 O H CH3 C O CH3 H2OO18 + +(a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction.(b) Follow the labeled 18O atom through your mechanism, and show where it is found inthe products.(c) The 18O isotope is not radioactive. Suggest how you could experimentally determinethe amounts of 18O in the separated components of the mixture
Show the detailed reaction mechanism (Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reaction) of benzo[b]quinolizinium-9-trifluoroborate and 9-arylbenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives (show movement of electrons, reagents, conditions, final product and biproducts etc.)
Draw a structural formula for the major product of the acid-base reaction shown. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I-, in your answer. In those cases in which there are two reactants, draw only the product from the compound that reacts.
Starting with (S)-2-hexanol as your only source of carbon, provide the reagents necessary, in order, to synthesize the following molecules as the predominant organic product. More than one step may be necessary. You may use any inorganic reagents necessary. You may use a retro synthetic approach, but you must still show the forward then thesis. Be specific about (1) order of addition (2) equivalents and (3) stereochemistry.
Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of propene. Remember that a mechanism must include curved arrows to show movement of electrons, as well as all intermediates.
(S)-2-Butanol, instead of (R)-2-butanol, is obtained from the reaction between (R)-2-bromobutane with hydroxide ion. What kind of reaction is this (SN1,SN2,E1 OR E2) ? Explain briefly this inversion of configuration (i.e. (R) configuration for the reactant and (S) configuration for the product) and What is this inversion called?
Illustrate A comparison of E2 elimination reactions using alkyl halides and amines ?
. A colorless liquid, C4H6O, having a boiling point of 97-98°C was found to be soluble in water and also in ether. It gave a negative test for the presence of halogens, sulfur, and nitrogen. It did however, give a positive test to 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent. It gave a negative result when treated with ceric nitrate solution and also Tollen’s reagent. Treatment with ozone followed by hydrolysis in the presence of zinc gave formaldehyde as one of the products. What is the structure and name of the colorless liquid?
