(a)
Interpretation:
The two isomeric cyclic acetals obtained on acid-catalyzed reaction of acetone and glycerol are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Compounds having the same molecular formula but the different structural formula is known as isomers. The isomers are classified as structural and stereoisomers. The stereoisomers are further classified into two types, enantiomeric and diastereomeric isomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound which can be actually resolved on acid catalyzed reaction of acetone and glycerol into enantiomers is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Compounds having the same molecular formula but the different structural formula are known as isomers. The isomers are classified as structural and stereoisomers. The stereoisomers are further classified into two types, enantiomeric and diastereomeric isomers.

- Give the structural chemistry of active methylene, classify it asradical/intermediate/stable organic compound, reagent of its production and role in alkylationarrow_forwardCompound A produce compound D while undergo Friedel Crafts Alkylation. Compound D is then oxidized and produce compound E (C11H12O3) as a major product.What are the possible structural formula of compound D and E?arrow_forwardWhen the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds 1 and 2 are treated with HCl, only 1 forms the hydrochloride salt, whereas compound 2 is unreactive. Provide an explanation for this observed reactivity.arrow_forward
- Each of the following reactions has been described in the chemical literature and involves an organic reactant somewhat more complex than those we have encountered so far. Nevertheless, on the basis of the topics covered in this chapter, you should be able to write the structure of the principal organic product of each reaction.arrow_forwardCompound A is first reacted with methylamine in the presence of acid and then treated with NaBH3CN. Using the spectroscopic data given, what is the structure of the product after step 1?arrow_forwardCompound A was oxidized with periodic acid to give B, which after acid hydrolysis gave C. Bromine oxidation of C gave D. Suggest structural formulas, including stereochemistry, for compounds B, C, and D.arrow_forward
- Give the reagents and conditions necessary for the following conversion. A to B, B to D, B to C, B to E, E to F, E to G, G to H, H to I. Hence deduce the name and structural formula of the compounds C and I. Compare the procedure for converting F and E to G.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardA student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Bradyarrow_forward
- Give the structure of compound 1 and compound 2arrow_forwardTriphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solutionresults. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears.Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.1arrow_forwardSuggest reactivity of compound A, B and C in increasing order of E2 reactionarrow_forward
