Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The target molecules should be drawn and identified for the given staring molecule by using its structure.

Concept introduction:

Grignard Reaction: This is a organometallic reaction in different alkyl, aryl-magnesium halides add to a carbonyl group in an aldehyde and ketone. This reaction is an important for the conversion of carbon-carbon single (-C-C-) bond. Moreover the addition of a reagent to an aster, lactone gives a tertiary alcohol in which will alkyl groups are the same and the addition of a Grignard reagent to a nitrile produces an unsymmetrical ketone.

Elimination Reaction: It is just reverse reaction of addition where substituent from the given molecule is removed via E1 (the reaction depends only on the substrate involved in the reaction) or E2 (the reaction depends on both of the substituents in the reaction) mechanism.

Acid Catalyzed Hydration Reaction: The reaction involves breaking of π-bonds between carbon-carbon multiple bonds and addition of alcohol to more substituted position of carbon in the molecule.

Nucleophilic reaction: Electron rich nucleophiles attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom and replace a leaving group is called Nucleophilic Substitution reaction.

Meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA): This reagent is extremely useful reagent most frequently encountered in the synthesis of epoxides when added to alkenes or alkynes.

Condensation reaction:  The several organic reactions that proceeds in a step-wise reaction to produce the addition product. This type of reaction involves the formation of ammonia, ethanol or mineral acids; it is a versatile class of reaction that can occur in acidic or basic conditions or in the presence of catalyst.
