Interpretation:
The compound, which reacts faster in each of the given pair of compounds, is to be identified, and the chemical equation for the faster reaction is to be written.
Concept introduction:
In electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, ring activating substituents on the aromatic ring increases the rate towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
All activating substituents are ortho-para directing.
In electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid produces a nitronium ion, which behaves as an electrophile.
In Friedal Craft’s alkylation reactions, Benzyl chloride and aluminum chloride form a benzyl cation that can be attached to the benzene ring.
A bromination reaction occurs when the reagent is bromine in acetic acid.
A sulfonation reaction occurs when the reagent is sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid.
A Friedel-Craft’s acylation reaction occurs when the reagent is acetyl chloride and aluminum chloride.

- A certain compound is known to contain an aromatic benzene ring but failed to produce a fragrant yellow solution upon subjecting it to the nitration test. What may be a possible explanation for this? A. The benzene ring is part of a highly conjugated, blue dye molecule. B. The benzene ring contains a strong electron-withdrawing group. C. The benzene ring has no available sites left for electrophilic attack. D. All of the given. Kindly explain your answer in detail.arrow_forwardUnlike a phosphonium ylide that reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone to form an alkene, a sulfonium ylide reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone to form anepoxide. Explain why one ylide forms an alkene, whereas the other forms an epoxide.arrow_forwardThe following substances can be prepared by a nucleophilic addition reaction between an aldehyde or ketoneand a nucleophile. Identify the reactants from which they were prepared. If the substance is an acetal, identifythe carbonyl compound and the alcohol; if it is an imine or enamine, identify the carbonyl compound and theamine. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just giveone. Use Grignard reagents when an organometallic reagent is required. Draw the Grignard reagent as acovalent magnesium bromide.arrow_forward
