Chapter 19, Problem 19.26P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The syntheses of 2, 4-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes or ketones on reaction with two equivalents of alcohol form acetals. Acetal formation takes place in presence of acids, commonly p-toluenesulfonicacid. This is nucleophilic addition reaction. Conversion of aldehydes or ketones to acetals is a reversible reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The syntheses of 1, 5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes or ketones on reaction with two equivalents of alcohol form acetals. Acetal formation takes place in presence of acids, commonly p-toluenesulfonicacid. This is nucleophilic addition reaction. Conversion of aldehydes or ketones to acetals is a reversible reaction.

(a) Propose a reasonable synthesis for the formation of nonane from CH3CH2CH2I and  any other organic/inorganic reagent. (b) Suggest three (3) different Grignard reactions leading to 2-phenyl-2-butanol.
(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.
