Organic Chemistry
- Lipoic acid is required by many microorganisms for proper growth. As a disulfide, it functions in the living system by catalyzing certain oxidation reactions and is reduced in the process. Write the structure of the reduction product.arrow_forward(a) Differentiate between copolymerization and homopolymerization. Give one example of each.(b) What is the role of Benzoyl peroxide in preparation of Polythene?arrow_forwardIn each of the following classes of organic compounds, write (by express formula) two molecules each with at least one aromatic group and one alkyl group with a total of 10 carbons. Name each structure you write according to the IUPAC system. d) Write and name two diazonium salt.e) Write and name two 2,3-unsaturated aldehyde molecules.f) Write and name two corboxylic acid anhydride molecules.arrow_forward
- An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give hydrocarbon B. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give the glycol C. When oxidized with KMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH, and the other fragment is ketone D (R2C=O). What are the structures of A, B, C and D? Write all reactions.arrow_forwardBased on the principle of “like dissolves like” separate the following compounds into two groups: Group A dissolves in an organic solvent, and Group B in water. (Sodium benzoate, naphthalene, anthracene, phenol, potassium phenoxide, aniline, sodium chloride, acetic acid)arrow_forwardGiven that naphthalene is insoluble in water and sublimes easily upon heating, describe two methods by which you could separate naphthalene and NaCL.arrow_forward
- Question:In the process of organic synthesis, explain the concept of stereoselectivity and how it is influenced by factors such as reaction conditions, substrate structure, and the choice of catalyst. Provide specific examples to support your explanation.arrow_forwardExplains the general concept of the manufacture of benzene by dealkylation of toluene with hydrogen.arrow_forward(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?arrow_forward
- Complete the synthetic scheme of the following compounds by writing the reaction condition/reagent, or by drawing the structure of the missing intermediate, organic substrate/product.arrow_forwardQuinolines, heterocyclic compounds that contain a pyridine ring fused to a benzene ring, are commonly synthesized by a method known as the Skraupsynthesis, in which aniline reacts with glycerol under acidic conditions. Nitrobenzene is added to the reaction mixture to serve as an oxidizing agent.The first step in the synthesis is the dehydration of glycerol to propenal. a. What product would be obtained if para-ethylaniline were used instead of aniline?b. What product would be obtained if 3-hexen-2-one were used instead of glycerol?c. What starting materials are needed for the synthesis of 2,7-diethyl-3-methylquinoline?arrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent ofH2 over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give diol B. When oxidized with KMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragmentis propanoic acid, CH3CH2CO2H, and the other fragment is ketone C. What are thestructures of A, B, and C? Write all reactions and show your reasoning.arrow_forward
