Concept introduction:
A chemical reaction in organic chemistry which is used for the synthesis of cyclopentenones is known as cyclization reaction.
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile attacks the electrophilic centre and eliminates another group in the compound. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile.

- Give explanation of the correct option and explanation of the incorrect options.arrow_forward1. The acid catalyzed synthesis of diethyl ether occurs via and SN2 reaction although a protic solvent is used. Discuss in your group why this substitution cannot occur via an SN1 reaction, and why E1 and E2 reactions do not occur. Your answer should be in complete sentences and use appropriate vocabulary to describe the molecules involved. 2 H,SO,(aq) + H2O ОНarrow_forwardImagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.arrow_forward
- (i) Explain why a high reaction temperature favours elimination reactions, instead of substitution reactions. (ii) Explain why polar aprotic solvents favour Sn2 reaction but not favour SN1 reaction.arrow_forward(a) Given and Scara were given a task of synthesising (2-methylprop-1- enyl)cyclohexane 2 (A potential TB drug). After a brief discussion with each other, Given proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanecarbaldehyde 1 while Scara proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. When designing a synthetic route for drug molecule, you have to make sure the synthetic process is as efficient as possible (e.g. few synthetic steps, mostly making one product and more). THF A Ph Ph Ph B 3 1. PCC 2. isopropyl magnesium vromide 3. H₂SO4 100 °C OH Method B is not preferred synthetic route due to the number of steps involve (3 steps vs 1 step for Method A).

(a) Indicate the anomeric carbon atom(s) in this structure by drawing a circle around the atom(s) or by drawing an arrow pointing to the atom(s). (b) Would this saccharide give a positive result with Benedict’s reagent? Why or why not? (c) Would this saccharide give a positive result with Barfoed’s reagent? Why or why not? (d) Would this saccharide give a positive result with Seliwanoff’s reagent? Why or why not? (e) In a separate set of experiments, the saccharide solution was treated with a reagent that breaks glycosidic bonds. After this treatment, would any of the three assays give different results? Be sure to indicate which assay results would be different and give a reason.arrow_forwardFor each of the following, write the major product(s) and then draw out each step in the mechanism using curved arrows. Show ALL lone pair electrons and formal charges. Redraw ALL molecules as to show explicitly ALL bonds being broken or formed.
