- Compound X was soluble in water and ether, and its aqueous solution turned litmus blue. It reacted with sodium to give a gas. The compound reacted with benzenesulfonyl chloride and base to give an insoluble product, which was unchanged with acidification. It reacted with nitrous acid to give a yellow solid. Compound A could bearrow_forwardOutline the synthesis of the following from either malonic ester or acetoacetic ester or an enamine and using any other reagents of your choice:arrow_forward(b) Classify the following alcohols in order of increasing ease of acid-catalyzed dehydration.Justify your answers.arrow_forward
