NO2 being a deactivating group, increase the acidic nature of alcohol, by increasing the stability of the corresponding conjugate base. True False
The product in this reaction is basic enough to be protonated by a dilute HCl solution. Draw the protonated species, clearly showing where protonation occurs. Draw all possible resonance structures of the conjugate acid of the product, and use these to explain why the product is so much more basic than a typical ester, like ethyl acetate.
Enolates are formed by deprotonation of an α-carbon hydrogen. Answer the following questions about enolate formation. In the molecule shown, select the α-carbon hydrogen that would be removed to form an enolate when NaOEt is used as a base. Draw the thermodynamic enolate that results for the molecule in Part 1. Draw only the enolate resonance form that includes a formal charge on the α carbon. Be sure to indicate that formal charge as well as any lone pair of electrons in your answer.
Alkyl halides 1-chlorobutane 2-chlorobutane Allyl chloride 2-chloro-2-methylpropane 1-chloro-2-methylpropane 2-bromobutane SN1 conditions = Silver Nitrate in Ethanol 1. Rank the alkyl halides according to their SN1 reactivity. If compounds are similar in reactivity, you may group them in your ranking. Considering substitution, leaving group, temperature, solvent, etc... provide an explanation for each pairwise ranking.
Draw the products formed by the following acid-base reaction without consideration of the equilibrium position: You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You should include all products. Include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I-, in your submission, but draw them in their own separate sketcher. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.
When drawing organic chemistry mechanisms with NaOCH3, do we automatically dissociate it into Na+ and OCH3-, making it easier to go through SN2 and/or E2 reactions? Does NaOCH3 dissociate, and is this why it is a strong nucleophile?
Phenols have lower pKa values than other alcohols due to the resonance stabilization of the conjugate base. Keeping this in mind, rank the following compounds in order of descending acidity. PLEASE explain reasoning.
In the chemical reaction between benzyl chloride 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 within this 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.
The reaction of 1-iodopropane with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in certain solvents results in the formation of two isomeric products, propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate (see scheme below), via the SN2 reaction mechanism. Attempts to prepare a similar mixture of these same isomeric products (propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate) starting from 1-propene is illustrated below. Despite the strong acidity of thiocyanic acid (recall pKa = 1.1), this addition reaction does not lead to either of the products indicated. Based on your knowledge of alkene addition reactions, explain this experimental result.
For SN1 Explain the order in which 2o (secondary) alkyl halides reacted (fastest to slowest) and explain why. 2o (secondary) compounds listed are: (see picture) 2-chlorobutane 2-bromobutane bromobenzene bromocyclopentane bromocyclohexane Base your explanations on the following considerations: the nature of leaving group, the effect of structure, steric hindrance and any other feature. Be sure to explain which alkyl halides did not react and why
Give the major organic product of the following reaction sequences (a-e).
In the chemical reaction between crotyl chloride and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is definitely 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 within this 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.
