Interpretation:
The given observations are to be explained by the halogenation mechanism.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Keto and enol form of carbonyl compounds are constitutional isomers. Inter-convertible keto and enol forms are tautomer.
▸ An enol and enolates can be formed by replacing the hydrogen at the
▸ The
▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of an acid it is called as acid catalyzed halogenation reaction.
▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of a base it is called as base prompted halogenation reaction.
▸ In the base prompted halogenation reaction and acid catalyzed halogenation reaction slows rates are independent from the concentration of the halogens.
▸ The equimolar mixture of two enantiomers are called a racemic mixture.
▸ Racemization takes place at

- Explain the following observations :(i) The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methoxymethane.(ii) Phenol is more acidic than ethanol.(iii) o- and p-nitrophenols are more acidic than phenol.arrow_forward) Draw all the Kekulé structures of anthracene and phenanthrene.(b) Propose mechanisms for the two additions shown.(c) In Chapter 8, most of the additions of bromine to double bonds gave entirely antistereochemistry. Explain why the addition to phenanthrene gives a mixture of synand anti stereochemistry.(d) When the product from (c) is heated, HBr is evolved and 9-bromophenanthrene results.Propose a mechanism for this dehydrohalogenationarrow_forwardPredict the products of the following reactions. (a) benzyl bromide + sodium cyanide (b) product of (a) + cyclopentylmagnesium bromide, then acidic hydrolysis (c) product of (a) + DIBAL-H, then hydrolysisarrow_forward
