- Write a reasonable mechanism for the conversion of ethylene glycol to the corresponding aldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase. In the initial step of the mechanism the alcohol is deprotonated. Use arrows to show this.arrow_forwardUsing the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester as your guide, write the mechanism— showing all the curved arrows—for the acid-catalyzed reaction of acetic acid and methanol to form methyl acetate. Use HB+ and :B to represent the proton-donating and proton-removing species, respectively.arrow_forwardExplain the products that would be formed when cholesterol is reacted with bromine in an organic solvent. Outline a mechanism for the reaction that takes place.arrow_forward
- The ketone shown was prepared in a three-step sequence from ethyl trifluoroacetate. The first step in the sequence involved treating ethyl trifluoroacetate with ammonia to give compound A. Compound A was in turn converted to the desired ketone by way of compound B. Fill in the missing reagents in the sequence shown, and give the structures of compounds A and B.arrow_forwardFor the following reaction scheme, identify by drawing the reagents b, c, and e, and the intermediate d that are formed in the synthesis of the following carboxylic acid.arrow_forward3.
