Chapter 22, Problem 58DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product of the given reaction sequenceis to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Reaction of an aldehyde or a ketone with a secondary amine gives an enamine.

If the aldehyde or ketone is unsymmetrical, then a mixture of two enamines is obtained.

In this mixture of enamines, the one with the less substituted double bond predominates.

Enamines are nucleophilic and react with electrophiles forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Further, hydrolysis produces a derivative of the original aldehyde or ketone such that the substituent is attached to the alpha position.

Primary alkyl halides and benzylic halides react with enamines to produce alpha substituted alkyl or benzyl derivatives of aldehydes or ketones.

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
Given that your mixture containing benzoic acid and aminobenzene dissolved in n-hexane solvent. Suggest a method on how to separate these two substances. Available reagents: A. Hydrochloric acid B. Sodium hydroxide C. Distilled water D. n-hexane
Why do you wash the dichloromethane solution of your reductive amination product with sodium bicarbonate, rather than dilute aqueous HCl? a) Sodium bicarbonate is a good method of removing aldehydes from organic solvent.b) The amine product will be protonated by acid and remain in the aqueous layer as a salt.c) Sodium bicarbonate transfers the amine starting material into the aqueous layer.d) Sodium bicarbonate reacts with leftover NaBH(OAc)3 and removes it from the mixture.
