Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The product obtained in skraup synthesis by replacing aniline with para-ethylaniline has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Skraup synthesis is the reaction of aniline with an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound and proceeds through the formation of carbocation and results in the formation of cyclic ring which on reduction gives quinoline.
(b)
Interpretation: The product obtained in skraup synthesis by replacing glycerol with 3-hexen-2-one has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Skraup synthesis is the reaction of aniline with an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound and proceeds through the formation of carbocation and results in the formation of cyclic ring which on reduction gives quinoline.
(c)
Interpretation: The reactants required for the preparation of 2,7-diethyl-3-methylquinoline in skraup synthesis should be given.
Concept Introduction:
Skraup synthesis is the reaction of aniline with an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound and proceeds through the formation of carbocation and results in the formation of cyclic ring which on reduction gives quinoline.

- Permethrin and Bifenthrin Pyrethrin is a natural insecticide obtained from the powdered flower heads of several species of Chrysanthemum. The active substances in pyrethrum, principally pyrethrins I and II, are contact poisons for insects and cold-blooded vertebrates. Although powders made from Chrysanthemum extracts have found widespread use, the active substances in them are destroyed rapidly in the environment. In an effort to develop synthetic compounds as effective as the natural insecticides but with greater biostability, chemists prepared a series of esters related in structure. Among the synthetic pyrethrenoids now in common use in household and agricultural products are permethrin and bifenthrin. As discussed above, the natural products pyrethrins I and II (not shown) are destroyed rapidly in the environment. One of the key changes in the structures of permethrin and bifenthrin relative to the pyrethrins was the substitution of naturally occurring methyl groups on the alkene with electron withdrawing groups (EWGs) such as chlorine and trifluoromethyl. What reactions of the alkene would the change of methyl groups to EWGs retard? 1. Oxidation of the double bond. 2. Electrophilic addition reactions. 3. Nucleophilic addition reactions. 4. Both 1 and 2. 5.

Additional Product pls add the name for both, thanks!arrow_forwardEarly organic chemists used the Hofmann elimination reaction as the last step of a process known as a Hofmann degradation—a method used to identify amines. In a Hofmann degradation, an amine is methylated with excess methyl iodide in a basic solution, treated with silver oxide to convert the quaternary ammonium iodide to a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and then heated to allow it to undergo a Hofmann elimination. Once the alkene product is identified, working backward gives the structure of the amine. Identify the amine in each of the following cases: a. 4-Methyl-2-pentene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. b. 3-Methyl-1-butene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. c. 2-Methyl-1-3-butadiene is obtained from two successive Hofmann degradations of a secondary amine.arrow_forward
