Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction needs to be provided.

Concept Introduction: In the acid-catalyzed ring-opening of an epoxide with water, first proton transfer takes place and then nucleophilic attack takes place via an SN2 mechanism. In the end, proton transfer step takes place that removes the charge formed after the attack of the neutral nucleophile.

Enanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop- wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death. он How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?
Acetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol molecules. Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates. A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction. B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction. C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a more favorable entropy of reaction.
Which of the following reactions provides iso-propyl methyl ether in a high yield?  A) potassium iso-propoxide + iodomethane B) sodium methoxide + iso-propyl bromide C) methanol + iso-propyl alcohol in the presence of KOH D) iodomethane + iso-propyl bromide in the presence of KOH
