Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible products of A that might be formed by hydrolysis in aqueous HCl are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction in which replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group takes place, is termed as substitution reaction.

The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons.

The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate.

The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.

Grignard 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.
Bisphenol 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.
(a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Benzoic acid and Phenol (ii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone(b) An organic compound with molecular formula C5H10O does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Identify the compound and write all chemical equations for the reactions.
