(a)
Interpretation:
The structure and the name of the product formed from the reaction between methyl sodium acetylide and ethyl iodide is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Alkylenic anions are stronger bases. They can easily donate electrons due to the presence of
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure and the name of the product formed from the reaction between butyl tosylate and phenyl sodium is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Alkylenic anions are stronger bases. They can easily donate electrons due to the presence of bonds and the negative charge. They react with alkyl halides or sulfonates to form alkynes with increased number of carbon atoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure and the name of the product formed from the reaction between propynyl magnesium bromide and ethylene oxide is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Ethylene oxides react with Grignard reagent to give primary alcohols. Ethylene oxide undergoes ring-opening reaction. In the Grignard reagent, the carbon atom which is bonded to magnesium atom behaves as a nucleophile and the magnesium atom behaves as a Lewis acid. Magnesium atom gets attach to oxygen atom, making it a good leaving group by Protonation.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure and the name of the product formed from the reaction between methyl sodium acetylide and is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Alkylenic anions are stronger bases. They can easily donate electrons due to the presence of bonds and the negative charge. They react with alkyl halides or sulfonates to form alkynes with increased number of carbon atoms.

- Propose structures that meet the following descriptions: (a) Two isomeric esters with the formula C5H10O2 (b) Two isomeric nitriles with the formula C4H7N (c) Two isomeric disulfides with the formula C4H10S2arrow_forwardThe compound acetophenone has a very similar molar mass to that of benzoic acid and benzamide. However, acetophenone has a much lower m.p. (20 °C) than both such that, by contrast, it is a liquid at room temperature. By considering intermolecular forces and comparing functional group structure, account for this big difference in physical properties.arrow_forwardPropose structures for molecules that fit the following descriptions:(a) An aldehyde with the formula C5H10O(b) An ester with the formula C6H12O2(c) A compound with the formula C3H7NOS that is both anamide and a thiolarrow_forward

- From 1 being the least acidic and 4 being the most acidic, arrange the following organic compounds in terms of increasing acidityarrow_forwardWrite the structure of the major products in the following reactions and name them.arrow_forwardBenzoic acid, Ph-COOH (C6H5CO2H), is not soluble in water while it dissolves in ether (diethyl ether), (CH3CH2)2O. Yet upon treatment with sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid turns hydrophilic and dissolves in water. Provide chemical explanation of this observation.arrow_forward

Which is which?arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give hydrocarbon B. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give the glycol C. When oxidized with KMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH, and the other fragment is ketone D (R2C=O). What are the structures of A, B, C and D? Write all reactions.arrow_forward
