Chapter 22, Problem 22.48P

When certain aromatic compounds are treated with formaldehyde (CH2O), and HCl, the CH2Cl group is introduced onto the ring. This reaction is known as chloromethylation.

Chapter 22, Problem 22.48P, When certain aromatic compounds are treated with formaldehyde (CH2O), and HCl, the CH2Cl group is

  1. (a) Propose a mechanism for this example of chloromethylation.
  2. (b) The product of this chloromethylation can be converted to piperonal, which is used in perfumery and in artificial cherry and vanilla flavors. How might the CH2Cl group of the chloromethylation product be converted to a CHO group?

A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.
