Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To predict the compound formed by the reaction of phosgene with given compound.
Concept introduction:
Carbonyl carbon of phosgene is highly polar in nature because of the presence of electronegative groups attached to it. So phosgene will undergo nucleophilic addition-eliminationreaction. Tetrahedral intermediate is formed when nucleophile is added to the carbonyl carbon of phosgene. The tetrahedral intermediate is unstable therefore chloride ion gets eliminated. The acyl chloride reacts with neutral nucleophile by the following mechanism:
(b)

- As we have seen in this chapter, carbon-carbon double bonds are electron-rich regions that are attacked by electrophiles (e.g., HBr); they are not attacked by nucleophiles (e.g., diethylamine). However, when the carbon-carbon double bond has a carbonyl group adjacent to it, the double bond reacts readily with nucleophiles by nucleophilic addition (Section 19.8). Account for the fact that nucleophiles add to a carbon-carbon double bond adjacent to a carbonyl group and account for the regiochemistry of the reaction.arrow_forwardMagnesium metal is added to a flask containing bromocylopentane and ether A) draw the product of the intended reaction B) it is necessary to add more ether once the reaction has started what is the potential by product if ether is not added C) why must the glassware used be scrupulously dry and what will be the product usijrnwe glassware D) subsequently formaldehyde (h2c=o) is added to the flask after work=up eith the concentrated acid what is the intended productarrow_forward7.

- What reagents could be used to reduce the nitro group ?arrow_forwardIn an experiment, triphenylmethanol is prepared using the Grignard reaction. The Grignard reaction involves preparation and reaction of a very nucleophilic organo-magnesium compound. The Grignard reagent is very reactive and is easily destroyed by reaction with atmospheric water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The Grignard reagent must be prepared under strict anhydrous conditions (dry glassware, dry solvent). The volative solvent, diethyl ether, helps to prevent oxygen or carbon dioxide from entering the reaction vessel. Reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium in ether produces phenylmagnesium bromide. This Grignard reagent then reacts with methyl benzoate to produce the corresponding alkoxide. Reaction of the alkoxide with aqueous acid then produces the alcohol.

Excess amine is required in the reaction of acetyl chloride with amine whereas excess alcohol is not required in the reaction of acetyl chloride and alcohol. Why? List the following ester in order of decreasing reactivities towards hydrolysis with reason: Methyl benzoate, p-nitro methyl benzoate and p-methoxy methyl benzoate The reaction of an ester with an amine is not as slow as the reaction of an ester with water or an alcohol.
