Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for each of the known conversions by the use of curved-arrow notation is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Substitution reaction is the reaction in which one group is replaced by the other group present in the reaction medium. Nucleophilic substitution reactions takes place when an electron rich species, the nucleophile, reacts at an electrophilic saturated carbon atom attached to an electronegative group displacing the leaving group.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for each of the known conversions by the use of curved-arrow notation is to be predicted.

- Given that five isomeric compounds (A, B, C, D, E) with the molecular formula C5H10O were subjected to chemical tests after undergoing Clemmensen reduction compounds A,B, and C all yielded n-pentane, the results of these tests are provided in the table below. Can you draw the structures of compounds A to E based on the outcomes of the chemical tests?arrow_forwardWrite down the explicit structures of A, B, C and D in accordance with the reactions given in the synthesis plan, which shows the synthesis of D, a pheromone of moth.arrow_forwardProvide a complete arrow pushing mechanism for the following transformations.arrow_forward
- The compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms? Explain youranswer.(b) What is the hybridization or each atom (except H) in the enol form? What changesin hybridization occur when it is transformed into the keto form?(c) What are the electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry around each C atomin the keto and enol forms? What changes in geometry occur when the keto formchanges to the enol form?(d) Draw three possible resonance structures for the acac–ion.(e) Is cis-trans isomerism possible in either the enol or the keto form of acetylacetone?(f) Is the enol form of acetylacetone polar?…arrow_forwardProvide a mechanism which explains the following conversions. Include all intermediates (where appropriate) and watch your arrows and chargesarrow_forwardWrite the appropriate reaction mechanism for the most stable alkene formation that will occur as a result of the reactions given below.arrow_forward
- Provide a complete arrow pushing mechanism for the reaction shown belowarrow_forwardThe conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides by reaction with hydrogen halides is an example of a Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction. This kind of reaction can proceed by two different mechanisms depending on the structure of alcohol substrates used. Generally, primary alcohols are substituted via SN2 mechanism, while secondary and tertiary alcohols undergo SN1 mechanism. Consider the following reaction given in the picture below and the questions in the picture too.arrow_forwardFor each of the following, write the major product(s) and then draw out each step in the mechanism using curved arrows. Show ALL lone pair electrons and formal charges. Redraw ALL molecules as to show explicitly ALL bonds being broken or formed. Identify the molecular orbital (HOMO) of the nucleophile and the molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile involved in the nucleophilic attack. MO diagrams are not necessary..arrow_forward
- provide a complete detailed step-wise arrow pushing mechanism for the following reactions.arrow_forwardOrganometallic compounds act as nucleophiles under very specific conditions, and can generate alcohols, alkanes, among others. Describe in detail what these reaction conditions are so that organometallics can perform the addition reaction to carbonyl.arrow_forwardGive the organic product(s) formed in each of the following reactions. When necessary, draw a 3D representation for the product molecule showing its correct configuration.arrow_forward
