Concept explainers
Interpretation:
In order to generate a carbonyl group in the third product at basic condition, the occurrence has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Stereochemistry: The spatial arrangement of atoms or groups present in compound.
Ring opening: Ring opening of epoxide takes place by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide.
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide:
Ease of dehydration of alcohols:
The ease of acid-catalyzed dehydration of alcohols is in the order as follows,
Acid-catalyzed dehydration of primary and secondary alcohols: Dehydration of primary and secondary alcohols is often accompanied by rearrangement process (shift of hydride or alkyl from
Addition of halogen across double bond: The reaction of alkene with halogen molecules undergoes electrophilic addition reaction forming 1,2-dihaloalkane compound.
