- Provide the structural formula of the products that are formed when acetophenone reacts with these reagents: 1. NaBH4 in Methanol 2. Ag(NH3)2+ 3. C6H5MgBr, then H3O+ 4. H2 in Pt 5. Hydroxylamine 6. Phenylhydrazine 7. LiAlH4 then water 8. HCN 9. Diethylamine 10. 2 CH3OH, HCl catalystarrow_forwardMethyl benzoate was exposed to a nitration test, although it was difficult to see the formation of a fragrant yellow solution. What produced this consequence?arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation for the acid dissociation of acetaminophen, C8H9O2N. Write the Ka expression for the acid dissociation of acetaminophen.arrow_forward
- Write reactions of ethyl chloride with the following reagents: a. KOH, aqueous solution b. NaCNarrow_forwardAn organic compound A of unknown structure was found to have a molecular formula C8H16. When A was poured in water and heated, compound B having a molecular formula C8H18O was formed. B upon heating with sulfuric acid was converted to C as the major product which is identical to A. Ozonolysis of C gave one molecule each of two different products D and E, both having a molecular formula C4H8O. Write the reactions involved and determine the structure of A,B,C,D and E.arrow_forwardBisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.arrow_forward
- write the mechanism for a decarboxylation and state the structural features necessary for a decarboxylation.arrow_forwardGrignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized. Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.arrow_forwardAn 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_forward
- Give the expected organic product when phenylacetic acid, PhCH2COOH, is treated with reagent Q.)NaHCO3, H2Oarrow_forwardExplain why methyl trifluoroacetate, CF3CO2CH3, is more reactive than methyl acetate, CH3CO2CH3, in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.arrow_forward(a) Give the products expected when (+)@glyceraldehyde reacts with HCN.(b) What is the relationship between the products? How might they be separated?(arrow_forward
