- Describe how utlraviolet (UV) spectroscopy could distinguish propiophenone from 1-phenyl-2-propanone and p-ethylbenzaldehyde. Consider their respective wavelengths at their maximum UV absorbances, (λ max).arrow_forwardSearch a reaction scheme for each reaction and draw the step-by-step mechanism using curved arrows for the following reactions. Explain how the IR spectrum (IR peaks of the functional groups) of the product would differ from that of the reactant in each reaction. Oxidation of alcohol using Bleach Epoxidation of alkenes using MCPBA Williamson Ether synthesis Grignard reactionarrow_forwardDraw a mechanism of a reversible reaction of acetophenone and strong acid (H-A) to form a protonated acetophenone and a weak base. Draw all the electron pairs of the molecules and the arrows. Predict 1H NMR spectra of acetophenone and the protonated acetophenone.arrow_forward
- (−)-Hyoscyamine, an optically active drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, is isolated from Atropa belladonna, the deadly nightshade plant, by a basic aqueous extraction procedure. If too much base is used during isolation, optically inactive material is isolated. (a) Explain this result by drawing a stepwise mechanism. (b) Explain why littorine, an isomer isolated from the tailflower plant in Australia, can be obtained optically pure regardless of the amount of base used during isolation.arrow_forwardWhen acetonitrile is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and tert-butanol, followed by water, a product is formed whose 'H NMR spectrum exhibits the following three signals: singlet, 1.3 ppm, 9 H; singlet, 2.0 ppm, 3 H; and broad singlet, 8.2 ppm, 1 H. Its IR spectrum exhibits one broad absorption of medium intensity between 3300 and 3500 cm-1, and a narrow, intense absorption near 1650 cm¯1. A key intermediate is shown. Draw the structure of the product, and draw the complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction.
