Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the acid-catalyzed dehydration of alcohol A is kinetically controlled or thermo-dynamically controlled reaction is to be stated with explanation.
Concept introduction:
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction do not attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as kinetically controlled reaction.
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the compound C is favored at equilibrium is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The rule that is used to identify the favored alkene products during the elimination reaction is known as Zaitsev’s rule. According to this rule, the most substituted product is highly stable and favored than the less substituted product.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the alkene B is formed more rapidly is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction do not attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as kinetically controlled reaction.
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as thermodynamically controlled reaction.

- (a) When bromine is added to two beakers, one containing phenyl iso propyl ether and the other containing cyclohexene, the bromine color in both beakers disappears. What observation could you make while performing this test that would allow you to distinguish the alkene from the aryl ether? (b) Write any three methods in detail for the preparation of aldehyde from primary alcohol. (c) State the clemmenson reduction.arrow_forwardthe following reaction scheme leads to the formation of compound B. give the structure of the final products and of the intermediate product A and justify, using the mechanism, the formation of thesearrow_forward(a) Draw vinyl halide and aryl halides structure. By using your drawing structure either the given structure is reactive or unreactive halides in Friedel-Crafts alkylation.arrow_forward
- Although benzene is normally written with three double bonds, benzene is not reactive towards many reagents that alkenes normally react with. This lack of reactivity can be explained by the unusual stability created by cyclic conjugation. (i) describe at least one of the physical properties of benzene that demonstrates how the true structure of benzene does match the way the structure is normally written (ii) explain how the unusual stability of benzenecan demonstrated by its thermodynamic properties through some form of experiment. (iii) include an appropriately labeled diagram as part of your answer (you do not have to quote any numerical values)arrow_forward(a) Which of the following phenols is the least acidic?

- Although benzene is normally written with three double bonds, benzene is not reactive towards many reagents that alkenes normally react with. This lack of reactivity can be explained by the unusual stability created by cyclic conjugation. First, (i) describe at least one of the physical properties of benzene that demonstrates how the true structure of benzene does match the way the structure is normally written. Then, (ii) explain how the unusual stability of benzene can be demonstrated by its thermodynamic properties through some form of experiment. Be sure to (iii) include an appropriately labeled diagram as part of your answer (you do not have to quote any numerical values).arrow_forwardExplain the following statements.
