CAREY: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
- The following bicyclic ketone has two -carbons and three -hydrogens. When this molecule is treated with D2O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three -hydrogens exchange with deuterium. The -hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange. How do you account for the fact that two -hydrogens do exchange but the third does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of -hydrogens occurs.arrow_forwardThe base-promoted rearrangement of an -haloketone to a carboxylic acid, known as the Favorskii rearrangement, is illustrated by the conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. It is proposed that NaOH first converts the a-haloketone to the substituted cyclopropanone shown in brackets and then to the sodium salt of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid. (a) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of 2-chlorocyclohexanone to the proposed intermediate. (b) Propose a mechanism for base-promoted conversion of the proposed intermediate to sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate.arrow_forwardIdentify A, B, and C, intermediates in the synthesis of the ve-membered ring called an α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone. This heterocyclic ring system is present in some antitumor agents.arrow_forward
- 1. Compound A, C9H12, absorbs 3 equivalents of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation over palladium catalyst to give B, C9H18. On the treatment with acidic KMnO4, compound A gives among other things, a ketone that was identified as cyclohexanone. On reaction with NaNH2 in NH3, followed by addition of iodomethane, compound A gives a new hydrocarbon C, C10H14. What are the structures of A , B and C?arrow_forward1.Describe the ozonolysis of alkenes 2.one mole of a hydrocarbon(A) reacts with one mole of beomine giving a dibromo compound C5H10Br2.Substance A on treatment with cold dilute kMnO4 solution forms a compound C5C12O2(C5H12O2) on ozonolysis A,gives equimolar quantities of propanone and ethanol.Deduce the structure of substance A.arrow_forwardSuggest a reasonable series of reagents and reactions conditions to prepare cis-2-methylcyclohexly acetate (A) from trans-2-methylcyclohexanol.arrow_forward
- -Hydroxyketones and -hydroxyaldehydes are also oxidized by treatment with periodic acid. It is not the -hydroxyketone or aldehyde, however, that undergoes reaction with periodic acid, but the hydrate formed by addition of water to the carbonyl group of the -hydroxyketone or aldehyde. Write a mechanism for the oxidation of this -hydroxyaldehyde by HIO4.arrow_forwardThe compound 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexenone can be synthesized using acetone and ethyl acetoacetate as sources of carbon atoms. New carbon-carbon bonds in this synthesis are formed by a combination of aldol reactions and Michael reactions.
