Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be arranged in order of increasing reactivity in electrophilic
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any
(b)
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the statement that given reaction will not lead to the formation of product is to be stated and the synthesis of A from Benzene and B from phenol is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron deficient chemical species that contains positive charge are known as electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, electrophile takes the position of hydrogen atom by attacking the electron rich carbon atom of benzene.

- Draw a resonance structure of the acetonitrile anion, :CH2C =N, and account for the acidity of nitriles.arrow_forwardThe double bond of an enamine (alkene + amine) is much more nucleophilic than a typical alkene double bond. Assuming that the nitrogen atom in an enamine is sp2hybridized, draw an orbital picture of an enamine, and explain why the double bond is electron-rich.arrow_forward5. Compound A, C 10H 18O, undergoes reaction with dilute H 2SO 4 at 50 °C to yield a mixture of two alkenes, C 10H 16. The major alkene B, gives only cyclopentanone after ozone treatment followed by reduction with zinc in acetic acid. Which of the following reactions are correct.arrow_forward
- Ibufenac, a para-disubstituted arene with the structure HO2CCH2C6H4CH2CH(CH3)2, is a much more potent analgesic than aspirin, but it was never sold commercially because it caused liver toxicity in some clinical trials. Devise a synthesis of ibufenac from benzene and organic halides having fewer than five carbons.arrow_forwardTreatment of (CH3)2CHCH(OH)CH2CH3 with TsOH affords two products(M and N) with molecular formula C6H12. The 1H NMR spectra of M and Nare given below. Propose structures for M and N, and draw a mechanismto explain their formation.arrow_forwardCompound A, C8H10O, has the IR and 1H NMR spectra shown. Propose a structure consistent with the observed spectra, and label each peak in the NMR spectrum. Note that the absorption at 5.5 î disappears when D2O is added.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of each product from the reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane using AlCl 3 as the catalyst and Identify the major product.arrow_forward2-bromopentane, when treated with alcoholic KOH yields a mixture of three alkenes A, B and C. Identify A, B and C. Which is predominant?arrow_forwardThe compound MON-0585 is a non-toxic, biodegradable larvicide that is highly selective against mosquito larvae. Synthesize MON-0585 using either benzene or phenol as a source of the aromatic rings.arrow_forward
