- would the H2SO4 reaction be E2?arrow_forwardWhen a cyclic ketone reacts with diazomethane, the next larger cyclic ketone is formed. This is called a ring-expansion reaction. Draw a mechanism for the following ring-expansion reaction.arrow_forwardHydroxylamine, 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. (a) Draw each of these mechanisms for the reaction of hydroxylamine with acetone. (b) Which is the major product? Hint: Which step decides the outcome?arrow_forward
- Solvolysis of the following bicyclic compound in acetic acid gives a mixture of products, two of which are shown. The leaving group is the anion of a sulfonic acid, ArSO3H. A sulfonic acid is a strong acid, and its anion, ArSO3, is a weak base and a good leaving group. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardShow the reaction mechanism for the formation of:a. RCONH2 from the reaction of RCOOR’ with NH3arrow_forwardwhat is the difference of the products in an E2 vs E1 reaction?arrow_forward
