- the following reaction scheme leads to the formation of compound C. give the structure of the final product C and of the intermediate products A and B and justify, using the mechanism, the formation of the product A. Give the serereochemistry of the final product obtainedarrow_forwardFor the following reaction scheme, identify by drawing the reagents b and d and the intermediate c that are formed in the synthesis of benzoic acid.arrow_forward) PLA, a polyester-based synthetic polymer, decomposes in our body fluid and separates into its constituent acids and alcohol. This acid in the body can cause inflammation. What would you recommend to overcome this disadvantage? b) The late decomposition of PLA, which is a biodegradable and hydrophobic polymer, in body fluid may create a disadvantage in applications where faster degradation is desired. What would you suggest to do to resolve this situation? Please explain.arrow_forward
- The ketone shown was prepared in a three-step sequence from ethyl trifluoroacetate. The first step in the sequence involved treating ethyl trifluoroacetate with ammonia to give compound A. Compound A was in turn converted to the desired ketone by way of compound B. Fill in the missing reagents in the sequence shown, and give the structures of compounds A and B.arrow_forwardA compound A, C7H12, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over platinum catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, C7H16. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C5H10O2. Write the reactions and draw structures for A, B and C.arrow_forward(i) Why do actinoids show wide range of oxidation states?

- What is the product/s when Asetone is allowed to react with KMno4, H2O, NaOH while being heated in the presence of HCl. is there any sereochemistry associated with this reactionarrow_forwardBradykinin is a linear nonapeptide released by blood plasma globulin in response to a wasp sting. It is a very potent pain-causing agent. Its constituent amino acids are 2R, G, 2F, 3P, S. The sue of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and carboxypeptidase shows that both terminal residues are arginine. Partial hydrolysis of bradykinin gives the following di- and tripeptides: FS + PGF +PP + SPF + FR + RParrow_forwardSuggest a reason why decane1CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH32 does not exhibitliquid crystalline behaviorarrow_forward
