Concept introduction:
Synthesis may be designed by thinking in the reverse direction, from the product to the starting compound, in a method called retrosynthesis. Retrosynthesis involves starting with the product and determining a suitable precursor from which it can be synthesized, without considering specific reactions. The precursor must be a simpler molecule, which may or may not have a close structural relation to the target molecule. This process is repeated until an easily available (or easily prepared) precursor is reached. Each of these steps is called a transform. A synthesis is a specific sequence of

- Predict the product of the following sequence of reactions.arrow_forwardOrganometallic compounds act as nucleophiles under very specific conditions, and can generate alcohols, alkanes, among others. Describe in detail what these reaction conditions are so that organometallics can perform the addition reaction to carbonyl.arrow_forwardProvide a complete mechanism for the following reaction.arrow_forward
- Provide a complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction shown below. Use arrows to indicate the flow of electrons and draw the structure of all intermediates. Draw the structures of two other alkenes that could have produced the product shown above.arrow_forwardpredict the reactants of the following product. show complete mechanismarrow_forwardAn α carbon of a ketone or aldehyde can be alkylated or halogenated under basic conditions. Recall that multiple halogenations take place under these conditions, whereas polyalkylation is generally not a concern. Suggest whyarrow_forward
- 10. In chapter 18, we learned that benzene (the most prevalent aromatic ring) reacts with good electrophiles in electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions. In chapter 17, we learned there are many other aromatic rings other than benzene. These other aromatic rings can participate in EAS reactions much the same way. The following is an EAS reaction with pyrrole as the starting nucleophile. Draw the complete, detailed mechanism for the formation of the given major product. Include all resonance structures in the sigma complex. BC13arrow_forwardIn the following electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, the overall transformation is the substitution of one aromatic hydrogen atom for a nitro group. The major products of these syntheses are different. Please explain the observation below using complete sentences.arrow_forwardPredict the product of the sequence of reactions shown here.arrow_forward
