Interpretation:
The structures of compounds J through N in the given reaction scheme are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Vinyl chlorides are sufficiently electron rich and undergo an E2 elimination reaction when treated with an excess of a strong base such as soda amide. As the reaction medium is strongly basic, the anion of an alkyne is formed. In the second step of this reaction, water is added to yield an uncharged alkyne.
Terminal
Alcohols undergo
Tetrafluoromethanesulfuric acid, also known as triflic acid, and 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanol make a strong acid that can be used as a catalyst in the acid-catalyzed hydration reactions of alkynes. In this reaction, alkynes are converted into a
