Interpretation:
Chemist is testing by running the reaction when different R groups on each 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).

- Make sure you label everything as labeled as asked and make sure you explain everything is asked step by step.arrow_forwardComplete each acid-base reaction and predict whether the position of equilibrium lies toward the left or toward the right. (a) CH3CCH+CH3CH2ONa+CH3CH3OH (b) CH3CCCH2CH2OH+Na+NH2NH3(l)arrow_forwardAfter separating the acidic and neutral compounds in a mixture, how does one recover the neutral compound from the organic solution that it is in? O 1) Treat with HCl until acidic to precipitate the neutral compound as a solid. Heat the solution on a hot plate to evaporate the organic solvent and recover O 2) the neutral compound as a solid. Wave a magic wand and speak the spell of recovery to get the neutral O 3) compound as a solid. You don't need to recover the neutral compound as a soild, toss out the O4) organic solution and clean up the lab.arrow_forward
- Does alcohol, ketones, and aldehydes considered acidic or a basic?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction below to answer the following questions. HÇI HO H,0 HO a. The first nucleophile in the reaction is b. The catalyst in the reaction is c. The newly created functional group in the reaction is called a(n) d. The first step in the reaction mechanism is protonation of the group. e. The last step in the reaction mechanism is of the oxonium ion.arrow_forwardCF-3-NH-2-IS A WEAKER BASE THAN CH-3-NH-2-. Briefly explain why this is the case?arrow_forward
- 1. Simple ketones, like acetone, are often used as industrial solvents for many organically based products such as adhesives and paints. They are considered "universal solvents," because they dissolve so many diverse materials. Explain why these chemicals are good solvents.arrow_forwardGive answer all questions with some explanation. In one step.arrow_forwardOne source of the reactivity of the carbonyl group is its polarity. Click on the atom of the carbonyl group that carries a partial positive charge. carbonyl grouparrow_forward
