- Draw structural formulas for the major products of each reaction. (a) (b)arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of lactone A to ester B using HCl in ethanol. B is converted in one step to ethyl chrysanthemate, a useful intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of pyrethrins, naturally occurring insecticides with three-membered rings that are isolated from chrysanthemums.arrow_forwardEthers are oxidized with O2 to form hydroperoxides that decompose violently when heated. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forward

- Draw a stepwise mechanism for the sulfonation of an alkyl benzene such as A to form a substituted benzenesulfonic acid B. Treatment of B with base forms a sodium salt C that can be used as a synthetic detergent to clean away dirt (see Problem 3.22).arrow_forward(a) Are compounds B–D identical to or an isomer of A? (b) Give the IUPAC name for A.arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. Part I out of 4 Nucleophilic substitution of H for C1:arrow_forward
- Draw the products formed when A or B is treated with each reagent. In some cases, no reaction occurs. [1] C6H5Li (excess); [2] H2Oarrow_forwardIf H+ is eliminated from the compound below, three different products can be formed. Draw the three products.arrow_forwardDraw the major products if Compound B reacts with Cl2 in the presence of water.arrow_forward
