Hi can u help pls as u can see it on the pic i tried to do the mechanism for the formation of dibezyleacetone from acetone and benzaldhyde in a basic condition. I used NaOH . am stuck on benzyleacetone can u continue the mechanism from benzyleacetone to dibenzyleacetone ? I think there are seven or eight steps left thank u
(a) What happens when CH3—O—CH<sub3 is heated with HI?(b) Explain mechanism for hydration of acid catalyzed ethene :CH2 = CH2 + HzO CH3—CH,—OH
Predict the major organic product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with H2O2 and then is heated in H20. I understand that it's a cope elimination so I know how it goes from an amine to an amine oxide, but I haven't done this type of problem with a heterocycle before, so the 2nd step confuses me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Indicate the complete mechanisms for each step of the synthesis below.
When phenol + tert butyl-chloride + AlCl3 (lewis acid) are added together in a mechanism, how come para product is the one that prevails? Is it because of the steric hindrance/bulkiness of the tert butyl-chloride? So if it was just CH3-Cl, the major product would be ortho instead of para?
