Question
Chapter 23, Problem 44P
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism of decarboxylation of
Concept introduction:
- Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
- Acid Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the donation of a proton.
- Base Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the removing a proton.
- Nucleophilic catalysis: A catalysis which takes place due to the formation of a covalent bond by a nucleophile with one of the reactants.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The possibility of 3-aminoindole over 3-amino-2-oxindole as effective catalyst has to be predicted.
