Interpretation:
As suggested the given reaction, called the Brazil-benzilic acid management is a general reaction involving L-diketones ie 1,2-diketones as Benzil:
Concept introduction:
These
Since the initial investigations of the reaction were performed on Benzil, and the product obtained was benzil acid, the name of the reaction is given benzilic acid rearrangement both di-phenyl or diaryl ketones.
Ketones give good results, with Ar excelling in yield, but α-diketones that have enolisable α-protons due to competing aldol condensation reactions.

- Propose how to carry out the following synthesisarrow_forwardWhen an α-hydroxy amide is treated with Br2 in aqueous NaOH under Hofmann rearrangement conditions, loss of CO2 occurs and a chain-shortened aldehyde is formed. The mechanism involves the following steps: Base abstracts an acidic amide proton, yielding amide anion 1; The amide anion reacts with bromine in an α-substitution reaction to give N-bromoamide 2. Abstraction of the remaining amide proton by base gives a resonance-stabilized bromoamide anion 3; Rearrangement occurs to yield isocyanate 4; Water adds to the isocyanate to yield carbamic acid 5; Elimination of CO2 yields carbinolamine 6; Following proton transfer, expulsion of ammonia yields the final product aldehyde. Write out the mechanism and then draw the structures of bromoamide anion 3 and amide anion 1.arrow_forwardPropose a synthesis for the following reaction.
