- Show how the benzaldehyde can be prepared from benzene:arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones undergo acid-catalyzed reaction with alcohols to yield hemiacetals, compounds that have one alcohol-like oxygen and one ether-like oxygen bonded to the same carbon. Further reaction of a hemiacetal with alcohol then yields an acetal, a compound that has two ether-like oxygens bonded to the same carbon. Show the structure of the acetal that you would obtain by reaction of acetophenone with 2-propanol. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. ?arrow_forwardAcetic acid has been mixed with isoamyl alcohol to produce isoamyl acetate giving off a banana smell.

The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between acetophenone and 3-buten-2-one. Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between acetophenone and pyrrolidine. Draw the structure of the Michael addition product. Draw the structure of the final product.arrow_forwardCompound A (C9H18O) forms a phenylhydrazone, but it gives a negative Tollens’ test.
