(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism of the reaction between
Concept introduction:
The cyclic ether containing a ring of atoms, carbon, oxygen and carbon is called an epoxide. The opening of the epoxide ring takes place in the presence of a nucleophile. The reaction of
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism of the reaction between ammonia and acrylonitrile is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The cyclic ether containing a ring of atoms, carbon, oxygen and carbon is called an epoxide. The opening of the epoxide ring takes place in the presence of a nucleophile. The reaction of amine and epoxide leads to the opening of the epoxide ring.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the reaction between ammonia and acrylonitrile stops after two additions, and a third doesn’t occur in high yield is to be stated. The changes that are required in the reaction condition in order to get the third addition are to be stated.
