Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The enol tautomer of Cyclopentanone shown is to be given.
Concept introduction:
A carbonyl compound with a hydrogen atom on its α carbon atom is in equilibrium with its corresponding enol isomer. The spontaneous inter-conversion between two isomers usually with the change in position of a hydrogen is called tautomerism. The individual keto and enol isomers are called tautomers.
To give:
The enol tautomer of cyclopentanone shown.

Following is one of the steps in its synthesis, draw the structure of the product of this step.arrow_forwardDeduce the structure of compound C.arrow_forwardThe last step in the synthesis of β-vetivone, a major constituent of vetiver, a perennial grass found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, involves treatment of C with CH3Li to form an intermediate X, which forms β-vetivone with aqueous acid. Identify the structure of X and draw a mechanism for converting X to β-vetivone.arrow_forward
- When 2-methylcyclohexanone is treated with pyrrolidine, two isomeric enamines areformed.Why is enamine A with the less substituted double bond the thermodynamicallyfavored product? (You will find it helpful to examine the models of these twoenamines.)arrow_forwardFriedel–Crafts alkylation of benzene with (R)-2-chlorobutane and AlCl3 affords sec-butylbenzene.a. How many stereogenic centers are present in the product?b. Would you expect the product to exhibit optical activity? Explain, with reference to the mechanism.arrow_forwardWhen phenylacetaldehyde (C6H5CH2CHO) is dissolved in D2O with added DCl, the hydrogen atoms a to the carbonyl are gradually replaced by deuterium atoms. Write a mechanism for this process that involves enols as intermediates.arrow_forward
- Name the structure. Heating compound A in the presence of H2SO4 results in which product?arrow_forwardWhen (R)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH,nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When theisomeric halide (R)-2-bromo-2,5-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OHunder the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an opticallyactive solution.
