Chapter 25, Problem 25.9P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given reaction is to be completed.

Concept Introduction:

Thioesters react with nucleophiles in acyl substitution reactions via addition-elimination mechanism. If the nucleophile is an amine, then the product formed in these reactions is an amide.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

It is to be explained why the reaction of the thioester and the amine is thermodynamically favorable under neutral conditions but the reaction is not observed in presence of an acid.

Concept introduction:

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Explain why an alkylamine is more basic than ammonia?(b) How would you convert(i) Aniline to nitrobenzene (ii) Aniline to iodobenzene
(b) Suggest a reasonable biosynthesis for the naturally occurring alkaloid coniine (isolated from hemlock), starting from octanoic acid. Coniine
Answer BOTH parts of this question. (a) Briefly explain the origin of amine basicity. Using resonance structures explain why aniline is a weaker base than methylamine. (b) Draw the structure of compound X and provide a curly arrow mechanism for the reduction in Scheme 1. X 1. NaBH4 2. H₂O Scheme 1 OH
