Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether each of the following syntheses requires a reaction that alters the carbon skeleton.
Concept introduction:
Chemical syntheses are carries out by transforming one functional group to another. If the bonding arrangement of carbon atoms remains the same in the product formed, that means the synthesis does not require a change in the carbon skeleton. If it is changed, that means the synthesis requires a change in the carbon skeleton. The forming or breaking of carbon-carbon
Answer to Problem 13.29P
This chemical synthesis does require a reaction that alters the carbon skeleton because a carbon-carbon
Explanation of Solution
The given chemical synthesis is
The starting compound is a six carbons ring whereas the product is a seven membered ring with one oxygen atom. Thus, the arrangement of carbon atoms in the product has changed by breaking the carbon-carbon
Therefore, this transformation requires a reaction that alters the carbon skeleton.
