Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mechanism of the given reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Reduction is a process in which a hydrogen atom is added or an oxygen atom is removed from a substance. Reduction occurs with the help of reducing agent. Reducing agents themselves get oxidized. A strong reducing agent can reduce all the carbonyl groups present in a compound into alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The mechanism of the given reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxime belongs to the family of imines. The formula of oxime is RRC=NOH. Types of oxime are ketoxime and aldoxime. When aldehydes and ketones are treated with ammonia, an imine derivative is formed. This reaction is known as Schiff base reaction. The maximum yield is obtained in the Schiff base reaction at pH=5.

(b) Suggest a reasonable biosynthesis for the naturally occurring alkaloid coniine (isolated from hemlock), starting from octanoic acid. Coniine
(a) One test for the presence of an alkene is to add a smallamount of bromine, which is a red-brown liquid, and lookfor the disappearance of the red-brown color. This test doesnot work for detecting the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon.Explain. (b) Write a series of reactions leading topara-bromoethylbenzene, beginning with benzene andusing other reagents as needed. What isomeric side productsmight also be formed?
Explain the following behaviours :(i) Alcohols are more soluble in water than the hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses.(ii) Ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.
