Concept introduction:
The phenol is a
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.

- Nonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with thiols to yield thioacetals just as they react with alcohols to yield acetals. Predict the product of the following reaction, and propose a mechanism:arrow_forwardEnamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forward
- The 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_forwardThe following questions concern ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)carboxylate.(a) Write a chemical equation showing how you could prepare ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)-carboxylate by a Dieckmann cyclization.(b) Write a chemical equation showing how you could prepare ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)-carboxylate by acylation of a ketone.(c) Write structural formulas for the two most stable enol forms of ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)carboxylate.(d) Write the three most stable resonance contributors to the most stable enolate derived from ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)carboxylate.(e) Show how you could use ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)carboxylate to prepare 2-methylcyclohexanone.(f) Give the structure of the product formed on treatment of ethyl (2-oxocyclohexane)-carboxylate with acrolein (H2C=CHCH=O) in ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxidearrow_forwardWhat reagents should be used to carry out the following syntheses?arrow_forward
