Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:The synthesis of given compound from benzene is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons. The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.

- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis. Give a sequence of reactions that will take the following reactant and give eutypine when the other reactants used in the sequence are acetylene and acetone.arrow_forwardConvert benzene into each compound. You may also use any inorganic reagents and organic alcohols having three carbons or fewer. One step of the synthesis must use a Grignard reagent.arrow_forwardComplete each Grignard reactionarrow_forward
- Devise a synthesis of each compound using 1-bromobutane(CH3CH2CH2CH2Br) as the only organic starting material. You may useany other inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardDevise a synthesis of each alkene using a Wittig reaction to form the double bond. You may use benzene and organic alcohols having four or fewer carbons as starting materials and any required reagents.arrow_forwardExplain Addition of Alcohols—Acetal Formation ?arrow_forward
- Devise a synthesis of each substituted cyclopropane. Use acetylene (HC=CH) as a starting material in part (a) and cyclohexanone as a starting material in part (b). You may use any other organic compounds and any needed reagents.arrow_forwardIt is sometimes necessary to isomerize a cis alkene to a trans alkene in a synthesis, a process that cannot be accomplished in a single step. Using the reactions you have learned in Chapters 8–12, devise a stepwise method to convert cis-but-2-ene to trans-but-2-ene.arrow_forwardEthers are oxidized with O2 to form hydroperoxides that decompose violently when heated. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forward
