Chapter 22, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of the given compounds by using p-nitroaniline as a starting material is to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation reaction involves an increase in the CX bonds (where X usually is oxygen or a halogen atom) or decrease in the CH bonds and vice versa for the reduction reaction.

In electrophilic aromatic substitution, if the ring bears several substituents, then the orientation is controlled by the most activating substituent.

Triphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solutionresults. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears.Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.1
Wolff-Kishner reduction of compound W gave compound A. Treatment of A with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave B which on reduction with LiAH4 gave C. Oxidation of compound C with chromic acid gave D (C9H14O). Suggest the structures for A, B, C, and D.
Compound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28). Sodium-ammonia reduction of compound B gave compound E (C14H26). Both C and E yielded O═CH(CH2)12CH═O on ozonolysis. Assign structures to compound A through E so as to be consistent with the observed transformations.
