Interpretation:
A mechanistic explanation for the given reaction is to be provided.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired electron, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
If very dilute solution is used during the reaction, then it favors intramolecular reaction to intermolecular reaction.

- Show how to bring about each step in this synthesis of the herbicide propranil.arrow_forwardIn the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD): మగవా జి N-H LSD (CH25N;O) Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107. What is the pH of a 0.94 M solution of LSD? pH =arrow_forwardThe odor of ripe bananas and many other fruits is due to the presence of esters. For example: Banana oil (isopentyl acetate) (a) Write the name (common or IUPAC) of the ester responsible for the fragrance of the following: pineapple, orange, apple, peach, & lavender (b) Choose one fragrant from (a) and name the alcohol and the carboxylic acid needed to synthesize this ester. (c) Show the detailed mechanism of the Fischer Esterification reaction that will be involved in the synthesis of the fragrant you have chosen in part (a).arrow_forward
- Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.arrow_forward(b) Answer the following questions based on the compounds below.

Comment on their reactivity towards electrophilic aromatic substitution relative to pyridines and pyrroles.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_forwardShow how the malonic ester synthesis makes substituted acetic acids, and how theacetoacetic ester synthesis makes substituted acetones. Give mechanisms for thesereactions.arrow_forward
- When acetonitrile is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and tert-butanol, followed by water, a product is formed whose 'H NMR spectrum exhibits the following three signals: singlet, 1.3 ppm, 9 H; singlet, 2.0 ppm, 3 H; and broad singlet, 8.2 ppm, 1 H. Its IR spectrum exhibits one broad absorption of medium intensity between 3300 and 3500 cm-1, and a narrow, intense absorption near 1650 cm¯1. A key intermediate is shown. Draw the structure of the product, and draw the complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction.

Upon examining the infrared spectroscopy (IR) results, it was observed that both A and B exhibited peaks indicative of a ketone and an ester group. Please provide the molecular structures of A and B. OEt NaOEt ΕΙΟ A B In a chemical experiment, they noticed that both components, A and B, from a combined sample turned into a new compound, C, during the following stage. The task is to determine what compound C looks like and explain how compound A or B changes into compound C through a reaction. Compound C should be the primary molecule containing carbon created in this process, not just a by-product.
