Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- (a) Draw the structures of the following compounds :(i) 4-Chloropentan-2-one (ii) p-Nitropropiophenone(b) Give tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Ethanal and Propanal (ii) Phenol and Benzoic acid(iii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenonearrow_forwardA girl must convert 1-butyne into 2-pentanione. Assist her by recommending a synthetic plan to follow in order to obtain the desired result. Indicate all of the reagents she'll require.arrow_forwardA chemist was trying to synthesize compound C over the course of two steps, butafter the first step they realized that they had two different products (A and B). Both A and B had peaks that corresponded to a ketone and an ester( A has aketone and an ester, and B has a ketone and an ester). Provide the structure for A and Barrow_forward
- Explain how benzaldehyde and dimedone reacts with each other, and then with the aminotriazole to form compound 1a in the presence of an acid catalyst. Provide a detailed reaction mechanism. During the development of the optimized procedure for the experiment, it was found out that compound 1b can also be produced from the same set of starting materials. Propose a detailed reaction mechanism for the formation of 1b. Explain your answer. What factor/s may drive the formation of 1b over 1a?arrow_forwardShow how you would use anhydrides to synthesize the following compounds. In eachcase, explain why an anhydride might be preferable to an acid chloride.(a) n-octyl formate (b) n-octyl acetate(c) phthalic acid monoamide (d) succinic acid monomethyl esterarrow_forwardGiven this retrosynthetic analysis, propose a synthesis for labetalol from salicylic acid and benzyl chloride. [Note: The conversion of salicylic acid to (E) involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation in which the phenolic -OH must be protected by treatment with acetic anhydride to prevent the acylation of the -OH group. The protecting group is later removed by treatment with KOH followed by acidification.]arrow_forward

In eachcase, explain why an anhydride might be preferable to an acid chloride.(a) n-octyl formate (b) n-octyl acetate(c) phthalic acid monoamidearrow_forwardDraw a structural formula for the product formed by treating butanal with each reagent. (a) LiA1H4LiA1H4 followed by H2OH2O (b) NaBH4NaBH4 in CH3OH/H2O (c) H2/Pt (d) Ag(NH3)2+in NH3/H2O (e) H2CrO4, heat (f) HOCH2CH2OH,HClarrow_forward
- Propose a mechanism to show how acetophenone undergoes base-promoted chlorinationto give trichloroacetophenonearrow_forwardProvide the structure of the intramolecular aldol condensation dehydration products that result when diketone (A), below is heated and sodium hydroxide (A= heptane-2,6-dione)arrow_forward
