Interpretation:
Chemist is testing by running the reaction when different R groups on the two alcohol carbons are used; the correct statement has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Pinacol rearrangement: For all glycols Pinacol rearrangement occurs. Unsymmetrical vicinal
Step 1: Add proton (protonation of Pinacol using acid catalyst).
Step 2: Break a bond to give a stable molecules or ions (formation of carbocation).
Step 3: 1, 2-shift (migration of substituent from
Step 4: deprotonation occurs (take a proton away).

- The compound shown below is the product of a Claisen condensation. Draw structural formulas for the reactants: ester and enolate ion. Assume all esters to be ethyl esters. Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I-, in your answer. Draw the enolate ion in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.arrow_forwardDoes it safe to use this product on face during the morning? And Can we use it everyday both in case of using before bed time and in the morning? This product has lists of ingredients below (descending order)…. Hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic Acid Glycolic Acid Alcohol denat. Pentylene glycol Sodium hydroxide Citric Acid Ascorbyl glucosidearrow_forwardHow did Emil Bayer manage to make the bark of the willow tree that contained the active ingredient and precursor to aspirin LESS acidic via organic chemistry reaction. Be specific, show by chemical reaction and circle all functional groups (parts of the molecule) in the reactants that were altered in the products (circle these too).arrow_forward
- If the base was changed from NaH to LDA, the major product changes(shown below). Think critically about the change in base, why is this change in major products observed? (1—3 sentences)arrow_forwardRefer to the reaction below. In step 2, what is the substance added to the product of step 1? alpha-Napthanol Orcinol Resorcinol Furfuralarrow_forward1. There is one compound (that contains only one carbonyl group) that gives both a positive iodoform test and a positive Tollens’ test. This compound is not included in the table of unknowns. Use your knowledge of the test to predict this compound and draw it. Hint: the molecular weight of the compound is less than 60 2. Draw the structure of a molecule, an unknown aldehyde or ketone listed in the tables, that would show a negative Tollens’ test and a negative iodoform test. There is more than one correct answer. Draw one! 3. You acquired the following data: bp 173 °C; – Tollens’, + iodoform tests; semicarbazone mp 105 °C. You are very confident that your unknown is 2- octanone. Data is spot on, excluding the semicarbazone mp. You suspect the suppressed mp is due to wet crystals. What process or technique (other than continued oven drying) can help you obtain more pure semicarbazone and thus a more accurate mp for comparison? Please write answer in box at right.arrow_forward
- Two methods convert an alkyl halide to a carboxylic acid having one more carbon atom. Depending on the structure of the alkyl halide, one or both of these methods may be employed. For each alkyl halide, write out a stepwise sequence that converts it to a carboxylic acid with one more carbon atom. If both methods work, draw both routes. If one method cannot be used, state why it can't.arrow_forwardChemistry complete for a rate. answer both questions for a rate 1. write out the mechanism for the reaction between ethyne and NaNH2. Label the acid snd the base predicting which way the reaction is favored. 2. do the same for C6H5OH and CH3CH2ONaarrow_forwarda. Give at least three characteristics of dichloromethane that makes it a good extracting solvent for the alkaloid.b. Why is it necessary to remove a stopper from a separatory funnel when the liquid is being drained from it through a stopcock?c. What are emulsions? Why do they form during extractions? How is the formation of an emulsion minimized? How are emulsions removed?arrow_forward
