Concept introduction:
The phenol is a functional group in which the
In alky halide, the halogen atom is bonded to alkyl group and represented as
The phenol in the presence of a base is converted to a phenoxide ion, which, is on reaction with alkyl halide, undergoes
In aryl ether, the oxygen attached to the aromatic ring is a part of phenol, and the alkyl group bonded to oxygen, which is directly attached to the aromatic ring, is a part of alkyl halide.

- Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the following epoxide gives a trans diol. Of the two possible trans diols, only one is formed. How do you account for this stereoselectivity?arrow_forwardClaisen rearrangement of an allyl phenyl ether with substituent groups in both ortho positions leads to the formation of a para-substituted product. Propose a mechanism for the following rearrangement.arrow_forwardThe first widely used herbicide for the control of weeds was 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Show how this compound might be synthesized from phenol and chloro-acetic acid by way of the given chlorinated phenol intermediate.arrow_forward
- Propose a synthesis for the following compound starting with benzene. Write out the reagents and intermediates of each step. (Assume ortho and para isomers can be seperated)arrow_forwardThe following compound may be synthesized through alkylation of an appropriate enamine with an alkyl bromide, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting immonium ion. Using this strategy, provide the necessary starting materials for the synthesis. Draw the necessary enamine below.arrow_forwardThe following compound may be synthesized through alkylation of an appropriate enamine with an alkyl bromide, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting immonium ion. Using this strategy, provide the necessary starting materials for the synthesis.arrow_forward
- The following are intermediate products in the stepwise synthesis of compound 1 from benzene. Give the correct sequence of reactions with the appropriate reagents that will lead to the correct intermediate products and final product.arrow_forwardShow how the following compounds will be synthesized, beginning with benzene or toluene and any reagents required. Assume para, in ortho, para mixtures, are the main ingredients (and separable from ortho). 1) p-bromobenzene sulfonic acid 2) 1-phenypentane 3) m-chloronitrobenzene 4) o-chlorobenzoic acidarrow_forwardProvide reaction mechanisms for the following transformationsarrow_forward
