- Propose structures for hydrocarbons that give the following products on oxidative cleavage by KMnO4 or O3:arrow_forwardExplain and detail the reaction mechanism: NaBr + H2O + n-butyl alcohol = ?arrow_forwardGive the major possible product of an SN2 reaction of the compound above with sodium cyanide, NaCN. Give the mechanism and identify the product if the compound above will undergo E1 reaction in boiling ethanol.arrow_forward
- Using the principles for writing mechanisms and the four common mechanistic steps, write mechanisms showing all electron flow arrows for the following reaction : (a) Hydrolysis of acetic anhydride in basic waterarrow_forwarda) Give the appropriate base for the above reaction and draw the resonance structures of the enolate ions derived from compound A. Then write the mechanism for the formation of the Dieckmann cyclized product B. b) If compound B above is reacted with NaBH 4 , draw the structure of the reduced product. Give a reason for your choice of product. c) Being a β-ketoester, B could undergo a 3-step synthesis involving alkylation, hydrolysis and decarboxylation reactions to yield the cyclopentanone, C. Write the outline synthesis for each step which include the appropriate regents and correct intermediate.arrow_forwardi. Identify the products obtained when compound 1 is hydrolyzed in the presence of an acid.ii. Write a detailed reaction mechanism for this hydrolysis of compound 1.arrow_forward
- In the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-methyl-1-propanol, what carbocation would be formed if a hydride shift accompanied cleavage of the carbon–oxygen bond in the alkyloxonium ion? What ion would be formed as a result of a methyl shift? Which pathway do you think will predominate, a hydride shift or a methyl shift?arrow_forwardGive the product/s for the following reaction and indicate what mechanism is involved in the formation of such product/s as SN1, SN2, E1, E2. CH3CHBrCH3 + NaOCH3 in methanolarrow_forwardIf the following compound were treated with excess NaOH followed by an excess of D2O,what would be the structure of the new product formed?arrow_forward
- Show the complete and detailed reaction mechanism (Curtius Rearrangement) of carboxylic acid 4 that resulted in the formation of isocyanate 5, which, upon electrocyclization furnished pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline 6. Intermediate 6 was subsequently transformed into triflate 7, and the total syntheses of marinoquinolines 3a, 3b, and 3e were accomplished by intro- ducing different substituents at the C4 position. (show movement of electrons, charges, arrows, reagents, conditions, biproducts etc. and provide short explanation)arrow_forwardWhether the ortho-carboxy substituent acts as an intramolecular general-base catalyst or as an intramolecular nucleophilic catalyst can be determined by carrying out the hydrolysis of aspirin with 18O-labeled water and determining whether 18O is incorporated into ortho-carboxy-substituted phenol. Explain the results that would be obtained with the two types of catalysis.arrow_forwardWrite a mechanism for the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid that proceeds through a bromonium ion intermediate that clearly shows the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. Show (R,S) configurations of the product(s).arrow_forward
