Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mechanism of reduction from 1alkynes to alkenes and its acidity are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds originate from plants and animals. These are also known as organic compounds. There are two classes of hydrocarbon compounds which are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Unsaturated hydrocarbon compound are of two types alkenes and alkynes. The alkene contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. The alkynes contain a triple bond between two carbon atoms and follow general formula CnH2n-2. For example, HCCH. It is the smallest member of the alkynes class of compounds. The name of the alkyne compounds ends with suffix yne.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for complete conversion of 1alkynes into alkenes when (NH4)2SO4 is added is to be explained.

Drawing on what you know about the stereochemistry of alkene addition reactions, a. write the mechanism for the reaction of 2-butyne with one equivalent of Br2. b. predict the configuration of the product of the reaction.
4. Compound A has the formula C 8H 8.  It reacts rapidly with KMnO 4 to give CO 2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C 7H 6O 2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H 2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst.  On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H 2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C 8H 16) is produced.  What are the structures of A, B, and C.
The optically active (2R)-2-phenyl-2-butanol reacts in hydrochloric acid to form haloalkanes and alkenes. The substitution reaction is reported to occur with 100% racemization. Give the structures of the enantiomers that form during the substitution and indicate how much of each is formed. Propose a mechanism for the substitution reaction to yield the R product. What reagents would you use to achieve 100% retention of configuration. Two geometric isomers are obtained during the elimination reaction. Explain mechanistically which alkene will be the main product.
