Interpretation:
A molecular model representing a tetrahedral intermediate that results from the addition of a nucleophile to an aldehyde or ketone is given. The reactants are to be identified and the structure of the final product obtained on completion of the reaction is also to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Primary
To identify:
The reactants, a nucleophile and an aldehyde or ketone that give the tetrahedral intermediate in an addition reaction. Further to show the structure of the final product obtained on completion of the reaction.

- Nonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardEnamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forward

Predict the product of the following reaction, and propose a mechanism:arrow_forwardExplain why methyl trifluoroacetate, CF3CO2CH3, is more reactive than methyl acetate, CH3CO2CH3, in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.arrow_forwardSynthesize the product from the given material. Give the reagents necessary and draw out any intermediate products along the way.arrow_forward
