Outline a mechanism for the formation of the compound. Please use software to draw the reaction In the current experiment, we will use a different electrophile (the tert.-butyl cation) to alkylate1,4-dimethoxybenzene. This is a Friedel-Crafts Alkylation reaction.LOCH3(H;C);C.LOCH3(CH3);COHCH;COOH/H,SO4H;COH;CO`C(CH3)3The primary difference between Friedel-Crafts EAS reactions and other EAS reactions(i.e., nitration, halogenation, etc.) is that in a Friedel-Crafts reaction (alkylation or acylation), theelectrophile is a carbon atom (i.e., in this experiment it is a tert.-butyl carbocation). In many cases,the Friedel-Crafts electrophile is generated using a chlorine-containing molecule (i.e., an acyl[acid] chloride or an alkyl chloride) and an appropriate Lewis acid (i.e., AlCl3, BF3) catalyst(examples are shown below):Acyl halide8-+ AlCl3.AICI3RR`Cl8++ AICI4A 11u1 helido

Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):

For problem 8.17, all of the reactions will be SN2. For each reaction, identify and evaluate each nucleophile (strong? weak? Strong or weak as a base?) Also, evaluate each solvent as polar protic or polar aprotic. I recommend drawing the structure of each solvent.

Assume that 2-chloropropane reacts with CN− in an SN2 reaction. Use the JSME editor () to draw the structure of the substitution product of the reaction. The guide on how to draw your structure can be found here Important Note: When drawing the structures in the JME editor please adhere to the following formats: 1. If the nucleophile is OH−, DO NOT manually add the "H" to the final product 2. If the nucleophile is CN−, be sure to include the appropriate bonding between the C and N in the final product
