(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given base-catalyzed aldol condensation with dehydration is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
When a basic or acidic mixture of an aldol product is heated, dehydration of an alcohol functional group takes place. The product formed is a conjugated

- What is a mechanism for the formation of a hemiketal from the reaction of butanone with 2-butanol?arrow_forwardfrom the reaction of elimination of two moles of water from one molecule of ethanediol when treated with H2SO4 (concentrated) is obtained: a) C2H4 b) C2H2 c) C2H5 d) C2H6arrow_forwardIllustrate the Separation of cyclohexanamine and cyclohexanol by an extraction procedure ?arrow_forward
- Explain how you would test the relative reactivities of 1‐butanol vs. 2‐butanol in a nucleophilic substitution with sodium bromide.arrow_forwardExplain the mechanism for the reduction of an ester with LAH ?arrow_forwarda. Propose a mechanism for the reaction of acetic anhydride with water.b. How does this mechanism differ from the mechanism for the reaction of acetic anhydride with an alcohol?arrow_forward
- How to Preparation of 1-pentanamine from butanolarrow_forwardplease help with this question. thank you. n-acetylazoles go through hydrolysis more than regular amides. propose a reason for the reactivity of n-acetylazoles toward nucleophilic substitution.arrow_forwardPropose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of propene. Remember that a mechanism must include curved arrows to show movement of electrons, as well as all intermediates.arrow_forward
- Give the products expected when acetic formic anhydride reacts with (i) aniline and(ii) benzyl alcoholarrow_forward(a) How will you obtain the following :(i) Benzaldehyde from Phenol (ii) Benzoic acid from Aniline(b) Give reasons :(i) Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic reagents.(ii) Electrophilic substitution in benzoic acid takes place at meta position.(iii) Carboxylic acids do not give the characteristic reactions of carbonyl group.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements is NOT true about the reaction of amines with a cyclic anhydride like phthalic anhydride? a. Dimethylamine will give a cyclic imide product. b. Aniline will give a cyclic imide product. c. Triethylamine will give a cyclic imide product. d. The reaction undergoes a nucleophilic acyl substitution mechanism.arrow_forward
