In the reaction indicated above, aniline (C6H5NH2) is NOT a candidate for nucleophilic aromatic súbstitution, because: Aniline forms "tarry compounds" when nitration is attempted. Aniline is not a nucleophile. Aniline has no leaving group. The amine group is an ortho-, para- directing activator. O Aniline is not an aromatic compound. Previous

Provide a step-wise synthesis for the following: image 1 The last step of the synthesis needs to be a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction with a secondary amine.
Consider the tetracyclic aromatic compound drawn below, with rings labeled as A, B, C, and (a) Which of the four rings is most reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution? (b) Which of the four rings is least reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution? (c) What are the major produces) formed when this compound is treated with one equivalent of Br2?
Like other strong nucleophiles, triphenylphosphine attacks and opens epoxides. The initial product (a betaine) quickly cyclizes to an oxaphosphetane that collapses to an alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Show how this sequence might be used to convert cis-cyclooctene to trans-cyclooctene.
Amino acids can be prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by heating the initial alkylation product with aqueous HCl. The reaction to form alanine involves the following steps: Reaction of diethyl acetamidomalonate with sodium ethoxide to form enolate anion 1; The enolate anion acts as a nucleophile in an SN2 reaction with alkyl iodide 2 to form alkylated intermediate 2; Heating in the presence of aqueous acid hydrolyzes both the ester and the amide bonds, and induces decarboxylation to form alanine. Draw the structure of enolate anion 1.
Propose a mechanism for the reaction of aniline with ethyl acetate to give acetanilide.What is the leaving group in your proposed mechanism? Would this be a suitableleaving group for an SN2 reaction?
Eddie Amine carried out the following reaction, but stopped it before it was half over, whereupon he isolated the major product. He was surprised to find that the product he isolated was neither of the products obtained when the reaction was allowed to go to completion. What product did he isolate? The reaction undergoes under impact of Ac2O.
When an α-hydroxy amide is treated with Br2 in aqueous NaOH under Hofmann rearrangement conditions, loss of CO2 occurs and a chain-shortened aldehyde is formed. The mechanism involves the following steps: Base abstracts an acidic amide proton, yielding amide anion 1; The amide anion reacts with bromine in an α-substitution reaction to give N-bromoamide 2. Abstraction of the remaining amide proton by base gives a resonance-stabilized bromoamide anion 3; Rearrangement occurs to yield isocyanate 4; Water adds to the isocyanate to yield carbamic acid 5; Elimination of CO2 yields carbinolamine 6; Following proton transfer, expulsion of ammonia yields the final product aldehyde. Write out the mechanism and then draw the structures of bromoamide anion 3 and amide anion 1.
1. Put these three common types of carbonyl compound in order of decreasing reactivity ester amide acid chloride 2. For the least reactive, show the interconversion to its other resonance form: How does this electron delocalisation make it stable? 3. For the most reactive, draw the mechanism of its undergoing hydrolysis (reaction with H2O): Why makes this type of carbonyl so reactive to nucleophiles?
Predict which position of the naphthalene compound below is the most reactive with electrophiles in electrophilic aromatic substitution? Why?
When benzene is treated with I2 in the presence of CuCl2, iodination of the ring is achieved with modest yields. It is believed that CuCl2 interacts with I2 to generate I+, which is an excellent electrophile. The aromatic ring then reacts with I+ in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Draw a mechanism for the reaction between benzene and I+.For the mechanism, draw the curved arrows as needed. Include lone pairs and charges in your answer. Do not draw out any hydrogen explicitly in your products. Do not use abbreviations such as Me or Ph.
