(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The mechanism for the given reaction and type of mechanism it follows.

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction and type of mechanism it follows is to be identified.

Concept introduction: In an addition reaction, atoms are added in a compound that has a double and a triple bond.

In an elimination reaction, a substituent is removed from the compound and this removal of a substituent leads to the formation of a bond.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The mechanism of the given reaction.

Interpretation: The information that 1,1diphenylethanal is converted into diphenylethanal under mild acid catalysis is given. The mechanism of the given reaction is to be identified..

Concept introduction: Steps for correct mechanism are shown below.

  • The atoms that contain double bond or those containing cations act as electrophiles.
  • The atoms with lone pair act as nucleophiles.
  • Identify the electrophiles site in the given compound.
  • Draw the arrow starting from the correct site and ending at the correct site.

Butanone undergoes a nucleophilic addition with a Grignard reagent made from 1-bromopropane and magnesium metal in THF solution. The alkoxide formed from the nucleophilic addition is then conveted into the final product by the careful addition of dilute acid. Complete the mechanism by following the instructions provided for each step. Step 1. Nucleophilic Addition in THF
(a) 1-methylcyclopentene B can be prepared by an intramolecular Wittig reaction from A. Propose a plausible arrow-pushing mechansim for this the transformation from A to B. (b) Propose a synthesis to convert 1-methylcyclopentene B to the cyclic ester C. Show all intermediates, and reagents necessary for each step.
The Baylis–Hillman reaction is a DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) catalyzed reaction of an a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compound with an aldehyde toform an allylic alcohol. Propose a mechanism for the reaction. (Hint: DABCO serves as both a nucleophile and as a base in the reaction.)
