- (a) Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of their indicated property :(i) Benzoic acid, 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid, 4-Methoxybenzoic acid (acid strength)(ii) CH3CH2CH (Br) COOH, CH3CH (Br) CH2COOH,(CH3)2CHCOOH, CH3CH2CH2COOH (acid strength)(b) How would you bring about the following conversions :(i) Propanone to Propene (ii) Benzoic acid to Benzaldehyde(iii) Bromobenzene to 1-phenylethanolarrow_forwardWhat products would you expect from the oxidation of thefollowing compounds with (i) CrO3 in aqueous acid? (ii) withPCC?(a) tert-butanol(b) cyclohexanol(c) cyclohexanonearrow_forwardWhich one of the following compounds gives 5-methyl-3-heptanol with LiAlH4 followed by water?arrow_forward
- Undecanal is commercially available, but 6-methyl-1-bromoheptane is not. Propose two methods for the synthesis of 6-methyl-1-bromoheptane using precursors containing fewer than five carbon atoms (Cn n < 5). A protecting group will probably be required.arrow_forwardTreatment of 1-aminoadamantane, C10H17N, with methyl 2,4-dibromobutanoate in the presence of a nonnucleophilic base, R3N, involves two successive SN2 reactions and gives compound A. Propose a structural formula for compound A.arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the following epoxide gives a trans diol. Of the two possible trans diols, only one is formed. How do you account for this stereoselectivity?arrow_forward
- The following bicyclic ketone has two -carbons and three -hydrogens. When this molecule is treated with D2O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three -hydrogens exchange with deuterium. The -hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange. How do you account for the fact that two -hydrogens do exchange but the third does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of -hydrogens occurs.arrow_forwardA. In the synthesis of 1-bromobutane, what is the inorganic by-product left in the reaction flask following the distillation? Why was the bromoalkane the bottom layer in the separatory funnel? B. Predict the product when 1-methylcyclohexanol reacts with H2SO4 and KBr. Show the mechanism.arrow_forwarda. Compound X is benzene, Y is acetic anhydride acid. Complete the following scheme and determine Z! b. Determine which reagents except acetic acid anhydrides can replace Y!arrow_forward
- Write an equation for the reaction of CH2=CHCH2CH3 with each of the following reagents: a. Ozone, followed by Zn, H+ b. BH3 followed by H2O2, OH c. Bromine Can you write it out please and thank youarrow_forwardSeveral sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation. Tolbutamide is synthesized by the reaction of the sodium salt of p-toluenesulfonamide and ethyl N-butylcarbamate . Propose a mechanism for this step.arrow_forwardQ2) Write a reaction for the following, with explanation. part 1) Dimethyl ketone with Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) part2) Preparation of M. nitro chlorobenzene from benzene, using nitric acid Sulfuric acid, Chlorine, AICI, and any reagent you need. part3) Solvation of ethylene epoxide in acidic mediumarrow_forward
