The two reactions that follow involve nucleophilic substitution at an acyl carbon.
For each reaction, show the electrophile and the nucleophile in the key bond-
forming step, the corresponding tetrahedral addition intermediate, and the leaving
group in the bond-breaking step. Write a general mechanistic scheme (use curved
arrows to show bond-making and bond-breaking processes) for these reactions,
keeping in mind that acid- and base-catalyzed processes will differ in their timing
of proton transfers.

Carbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).
Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4.
The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.

- A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.arrow_forwardCarboxylic acids do not give characteristic reactions of carbonyl group.
