Interpretation:
Reactivity and the difference between the nucleophiles and electrophiles should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving):A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Electrophiles are neutral or positively charged species, having vacant orbitals and attracted electron towards itself.
Nucleophiles (positive-charge loving): A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond.
The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.

- Alcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forwardSalicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen. Write the complete reaction equation and describe the odor of the reactants (salicylic acid and methanol) and the products (oil of wintergreen).arrow_forwardHydrolysis is the formation of a larger molecule with water as a product. True or false.arrow_forward
- Consider the following nucleophilic substitution reaction: R CI Nal R I NaCl acetone Given that the reactants and the products look structurally similar, how can one determine if the substitution reaction took place? O Nal precipitates in acetone. O Nal dissolves in acetone. O NaCl precipitates in acetone. O NaCl dissolves in acetone.arrow_forwardNucleotides are molecules that make up the structures of RNA and DNA. Modify the compounds to create adenosine monophosphate (AMP).arrow_forwardIn chemical reactions, what part does electrophiles play? Choose from the choices below: They readily accepts electrons to form new bonds They mark areas of a molecule that are non-reactive They readily take the electrons from an existing bond and leave They readily donate electrons to form new bondsarrow_forward
- What are the differences between electrophilic reactions and nucleophilic reactions?arrow_forwardConsider the compound 2,4-dimethyl-3-isopropylpentane. How many unique radical structures can be derived from this hydrocarbon when it undergoes free radical substitution? Write the number of free radicals formed.arrow_forwardSynthesis of Benzoic Acid Is the reaction between sodium benzoate and hydrochloric acid exothermic or endothermic? What type of reaction is this? What are the products? Why is ice cold water rather than room temperature or warm water used to wash the remainder of the benzoic acid out of the beaker?arrow_forward
- Ester formation and ester hydrolysis are exactly the same reaction only written in reverse. General reaction of ester formation: H*, heat R—с—он + Н—о—R' R—с—о-R' + H,O carboxylic acid alcohol carboxylic or phenol ester General reaction of ester hydrolysis: || R—с—OR' + H—оН R—с—оН +R—ОH ester carboxylic acid alcohol or phenol What determines which direction the reaction proceeds and what actually forms? o the boiling point of the carboxylic acid o the presence (or absence) of heat as well as the concentration of reactants and products o the molecular weight of reactants and products o the presence (or absence) of heat as well as the catalystarrow_forwardOrganic Chemistry (major/minor products + type of reaction)arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of ethene with oxygen. O a. C2H4(g) + 302(g) → 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) O b. 2C2H2(g) + 502(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) O c. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) O d.
