(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance structure of vitamin C derived radical is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
The free radical present in conjugation with
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for a given reaction using fishhook notation is to be given.
Concept Introduction:
In the free radical mechanism, homolytic cleavage of bonds takes place. The free radical reaction takes place in the presence of light. The fishhook notation is used to show the free radical mechanism. The homolytic cleavage to a bond results in giving one electron to each atom which participated in bond formation.

- (b) Suggest a reasonable biosynthesis for the naturally occurring alkaloid coniine (isolated from hemlock), starting from octanoic acid. Coniinearrow_forward(a) Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion, carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Give two reasons.(b) How will you bring about the following converstions?(i) Propanone to propane (ii) Benzoyl chloride to benzaldehyde(iii) Ethanal to but-2-enalarrow_forward(a) (From benzene)arrow_forward
- (a) One test for the presence of an alkene is to add a smallamount of bromine, which is a red-brown liquid, and lookfor the disappearance of the red-brown color. This test doesnot work for detecting the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon.Explain. (b) Write a series of reactions leading topara-bromoethylbenzene, beginning with benzene andusing other reagents as needed. What isomeric side productsmight also be formed?arrow_forwardTwo organic compounds D and F with molecular formula C4H9Br react with suitable reagents to form E and G via SN1 and SN2 respectively. Both E and G have a molecular formula C4H10O. (a) Draw the structural formulae for D, E, F and G. (b) Suggest reagents for the formation of E and G. (c) Write the mechanism for the formation of E.arrow_forwardThe reaction is a nucleophilic substitution, A is OH- and B is an alkyl bromide. Give the reaction mechanism and explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- (a) Why are alkyl halides insoluble in water? (b) Why is Butan-l-ol optically inactive but Butan-2-ol is optically active? (c) Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho-, Para- directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Why?arrow_forward(a) Explain the mechanism of a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone.(b) An organic compound (A) (molecular formula CgH16Q2) was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid also produced (B). On dehydration (C) gives but-1-ene. Write the equations for the reactions involved.arrow_forwardthe following reaction scheme leads to the formation of compound B. give the structure of the final products and of the intermediate product A and justify, using the mechanism, the formation of thesearrow_forward
