- What are the conditions needed to promote an SN2 type of reaction for the synthesis of an alcohol? for example would you use a primary, secondary, or teritiary alkyl halide as a starting material for the synthesis of an alcohol?arrow_forwardThe Dess–Martin reaction reacts an alcohol with the Dess–Martin periodinane. The first step displaces one of the acetate groups on the periodinane with the alcohol. A base then deprotonates one of the alpha protons, forming a new carbonyl bond, iodinane and acetic acid. The oxidation stops at this stage to give the aldehyde. Both Swern and Dess–Martin conditions will also convert a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Now apply what has just been discussed. Draw the major organic product.arrow_forwardWhich is TRUE? A. The carbonyl compound got oxidized by the Grignard reagent. B. The product as it is shown is incorrect since the alkene moieties are also expected to react. C. The methyl magnesium bromide acts as the electrophile. D. The product is not expected to undergo tautomerization since it is not an enol E. The secondary alcohol product results from the reduction of the carbonyl starting material.arrow_forward
