Interpretation:
The mechanisms of the two successive intramolecular Michael reaction steps involved in the reaction shown are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Michael reaction involves the conjugate addition of a stable enolate ion derived from a β-ketoesters or β-diketones or β-ketonitriles or malonic esters (donors) to an unhindered α,β-unsaturated
To give:

- Aldehydes 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_forwardPropose step-by-step mechanismsarrow_forwardIdentify the reaction conditions for the following transformations(it may require multiple steps).arrow_forward
- Benzyl bromide is converted into benzaldehyde by heating in dimethyl sulfoxide. Propose a structure for the intermediate, and show the mechanisms of the two steps in the reaction.arrow_forwardA problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardPredict the product and provide a suitable mechanism. The reaction proceeds through a rearrangement. What is the name of the rearrangement? Based on the rearrangement, write the product of the second reaction.arrow_forward
- Complete the following reactions and outline the mechanism for the formation of the product:arrow_forwardSketch the reaction mechanism (including the final product) corresponding to the following description. Be prepared to explain the mechanism to your partner. 2-bromo-4-methylpentane is being reacted with sodium cyanide in diethyl ether (set up the reaction – next you will get a description of the mechanism to draw). A lone pair of electrons from the cyanide attacks the carbon bonded to bromine, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. At the same time, the carbon-bromine bond breaks with the electron pair from the carbon-bromine bond moving toward the bromine to form a bromide ion. This will form the product 2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile and sodium bromide. is this reaction following an SN1 or SN2 mechanism?

O doubles the rate O quadruples the rate O triples the rate O halves the rate O no change O quarters the rate O 1/16th the ratearrow_forwardCompound A reacts with the reagents shown in the image. Write the mechanism, step by step, for the formation of product B. Note that B has the molecular formula C14 H18 O.arrow_forwardChloromethane reacts with dilute sodium cyanide (Na+ -C‚N) chloromethane cyanide acetonitrile chloride. When the concentration of chloromethane is doubled, the rate is observed to double. When the concentration of cyanide ion is tripled, the rate is observed to triple.
