Chapter 2, Problem 2.25P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed when $\text{propan-2-ol}$ is treated with $\text{NaH}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A conjugate base is formed by the removal of a proton from a acid and conjugate acid is formed by the abstraction of proton by a base. Alcohols have $\text{OH}$ group as the functional and active group. It can act as acid as well as base depending upon the reaction conditions.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed when $\text{propan-2-ol}$ is treated with ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ is to be predicted.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The product formed when $\text{propan-2-ol}$ is treated with ${\text{Li}}^{+}{}^{-}\text{N}{\left[\text{CH}{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]}_{\text{2}}$ is to be predicted.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation: The product formed when $\text{propan-2-ol}$ is treated with ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{H}$ is to be predicted.
