- What are the reagents need for the structure in order to accomplish the following transformations. Explain brieflyarrow_forward#12. Outline a synthesis of the following molecules starting with ethyne and CH2I2 as the only carbon sources and any needed inorganic reagents. Obviously more than one ethyne molecule is needed for each of the syntheses.arrow_forwardSuggest and explain two synthetic methods for the conversion of compound 6 to compound 4. Include side reactionsarrow_forward
- A student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Bradyarrow_forwardGive the reagents and conditions necessary for the following conversion. A to B, B to D, B to C, B to E, E to F, E to G, G to H, H to I. Hence deduce the name and structural formula of the compounds C and I. Compare the procedure for converting F and E to G.arrow_forwardThis is a transesterification reaction. It mechanistically is the same as a Fischer Esterification. Write a mechanism for the reaction. Include all lone pairs and formal charges present throughout the mechanism.arrow_forward
- Show the electron-flow mechanism of the synthetic schemes (R-Salsolinol) of the picture below. This involves predicting major and by-products using electronic and structural effects. The arrow push mechanism must be shown.arrow_forwardThe following equation shows the bromination of compound 1. Propose a structure for product D and a curved arrow mechanism that accounts for its formation featuring the initiation, propagation and termination steps. can you also discuss the stereochemical outcome.arrow_forwardPlease show the electron-flow mechanism of the general synthesis of Benzyl Chloride from Phenol. This involves predicting major and by-products using electronic and structural effects. The arrow push mechanism must be shown.arrow_forward
- Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide. As an illustration, show that reaction of cis-2-butene by this two-step sequence gives cis-2,3- dimethyloxirane (cis-2-butene oxide).arrow_forwardCompound X gives good recrystalisation results using the following three solvents ethanol,methanol,and dichloromethane .Which solvent will you select as the best solvent out of those three and why?arrow_forwardwe know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?arrow_forward
