Question
Chapter 24, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Based on the general mechanism for the first stage of acid catalyzed acetal hydrolysis, a reasonable explanation is to be suggested for the given observations.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed hydrolysis involves an acid catalyst.
Acetals are derivatives of
An oxygen atom of the acetal is protonated using this acid catalyst forming a good leaving group.
When the leaving group breaks away from the carbon atom, a carbocation is formed.
The stability of the carbocation formed, determines the rate of hydrolysis of the acetal.

The ketone shown was prepared in a three-step sequence from ethyl trifluoroacetate. The first step in the sequence involved treating ethyl trifluoroacetate with ammonia to give compound A. Compound A was in turn converted to the desired ketone by way of compound B. Fill in the missing reagents in the sequence shown, and give the structures of compounds A and B.
The p-toluenesulfonate derived from (R)-2-octanol and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride was allowed to react with sodium benzenethiolate (C6H5SNa). Give the structure, including stereochemistry and the appropriate R or S descriptor, of the product.
Thalidomide is a chiral molecule and it was identified that the R-isomerproduced the sedative properties whereas the S-isomer produced the teratogenic effects.Identify the chiral centre in the thalidomide molecule and, using your knowledge of enolisation, illustrate mechanistically, and explain, why there would be no benefit to a patient taking the chirally pure R-isomer of the drug to avoid the sideeffects of the other enantiomer.
