(a)
Interpretation:
The use of Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Friedel Crafts acylation is the electrophilic
(b)
Interpretation:
The use of Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Friedel Crafts acylation is the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction that allows the reaction between arenes and acyl chlorides. It is a very effective way of attaching hydrocarbon-based groups on to a benzene ring and the product formed is a ketone.

- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis. Give a sequence of reactions that will take the following reactant and give eutypine when the other reactants used in the sequence are acetylene and acetone.arrow_forwardDefine what is reduction reaction, reducing agents, weak and strong reducing agents sodium borohydride reduction with benzophenone and sodium borohyride to get benzophenonearrow_forwardCarbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).arrow_forward
- What will be the right combination of reagents to be required for the synthesis of the following compound? a. Ethanal + n-Propylamine b. Ethanal + isopropylamine c. Propanal + Ethylamine d. Ethylamine + Ethanal .arrow_forwardSynthetize 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid from benzaldehyde using whatever organic/inorganic reagents are needed. 3-phenyl-2-propenoic = 3-phenylacrylic acidarrow_forwardHow do you account for the fact that N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) is less reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution than is aniline? -NHCCH, -NH, N-Phenylacetamide (Acetanilide) Anilinearrow_forward
- Please with the information provided how do I draw a balanced equation for the reactions by using acetic anhydride as the acylating agent and dicholomethane as the reaction solvent.arrow_forwardWhat structural and/or molecular properties of aldehyde/ketonecontributes to their reactivity with Tollens test?arrow_forwardWittig reactions with the following -chloroethers can be used for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones. (a) Draw the structure of the triphenylphosphonium salt and Wittig reagent formed from each chloroether. (b) Draw the structural formula of the product formed by treating each Wittig reagent with cyclopentanone. Note that the functional group is an enol ether or, alternatively, a vinyl ether. (c) Draw the structural formula of the product formed on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of each enol ether from part (b).arrow_forward
