(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In acid-catalysed Aldol condensation, nucleophilic addition of an enol takes place at a protonated carbonyl group. In the first step, enol is formed when carbonyl oxygen gets protonated. Then, deprotonation occurs at alpha carbon. In the next step, enol adds to the protonated carbonyl followed by deprotonation to give the aldol product.

Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In base-catalysed aldol condensation, nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion takes place on a carbonyl group. In first step, an alpha proton is removed to produce enolate ion. It adds to the carbonyl group. In the next step, protonation of alkoxide gives the aldol product.

- What are the organic products of these reactions? Are they electrophiles or nucleophiles? What is their decreasing order of rate?arrow_forwardAlkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

- Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. When the kinetics of the reaction are measured, if the rate of the reaction is found to be dependent only upon the concentration of the alkyl halide the reaction is first order. The substitution reaction is thus termed SN1, and the elimination reaction is termed E1. These reactions are unimolecular and occur in two steps. The first step is rate-limiting and involves the loss of the leaving group to form a carbocation. In the second, fast, step the nucleophile adds to the carbocation in the SN1 reaction or elimination occurs to give an alkene in the E1 reaction. Because the carbocation is planar, the nucleophile can add to either face and therefore racemization is usually observed although solvent effects can influence this somewhat. E1 elimination follows Zaitsev’s rule and typically yields the most substituted alkene as the major product. Conditions which favor the SN1/E1 pathway include the use of a weak…arrow_forwardAlkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.
