If anhydrides react like acid chlorides with the nucleophiles, draw the products formed when each of the following nucleophiles reacts with benzoic anhydride [(C6H5CO)2O]: (a) CH3MgBr (2 equiv), then H2O; (b) LiAlH4, then H2O; (c) LiAlH[OC(CH3)3]3, then H2O.
The Baylis–Hillman reaction is a DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) catalyzed reaction of an a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compound with an aldehyde to form an allylic alcohol. Propose a mechanism for the reaction. (Hint: DABCO serves as both a nucleophile and as a base in the reaction.)
A carboxylic acid is formed when an a-haloketone reacts with hydroxide ion. This reaction is called a Favorskii reaction. Propose a mechanism for thefollowing Favorskii reaction. (Hint: In the first step, HO- removes a proton from the a-carbon that is not bonded to Br; a three-membered ring is formedin the second step; and HO- is a nucleophile in the third step.)

When S-2-bromobutane reacts with hydroxide ions (OH-) it forms R-2-butanol. The accepted reaction mechanism of this reaction is shown below. This is an SN2 mechanism.
Luminol, which is used by forensic scientists to find blood, fluoresces as a result of Dielsâ€“Alder-like process. The dianion of luminol reacts with O2 to form an unstable peroxide intermediate that then loses nitrogen to form a dicarboxylate and emit light. The process is similar to that in 14-21 and 14-22. Propose a mechanism for this process.
Hydroxylamine, H2NOH, has both an OH functional group and an NH2 functional group, so it can feasibly undergo reaction with a ketone or an aldehyde to produce either an acetal or an imine-like compound called an oxime.

For which reaction mechanisms—SN1, SN2, E1, or E2—are each of the following statements true? A statement may be true for one or more mechanisms. a.The mechanism involves carbocation intermediates. b.The mechanism has two steps. c.The reaction rate increases with better leaving groups. d.The reaction rate increases when the solvent is changed from CH3OH to (CH3)2SO. e.The reaction rate depends on the concentration of only the alkyl halide. f.The mechanism is concerted. g.The reaction of CH3CH2Br with NaOH occurs by this mechanism. h.Racemization at a stereogenic center occurs. i.Tertiary (3°) alkyl halides react faster than 2° or 1° alkyl halides. j.The reaction follows a second-order rate equation.
