Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A method for the preparation of propanamine from chloroethane should be given.
Concept introduction:
Amine group can be introduced to a carbon chain by the use of cyanide anion because it can be reduced to an amine group.

- The ethylation of benzene is an electrophilic substitution reaction. Identify the electrophile in the reaction. Write the equation including reagents and conditions for the ethylation of benzene to produce ethylbenzene. Hence outline the mechanism for the reaction.arrow_forwardUpon completion of a chemical reaction, you find you have a mixture of benzoic acid and ethyl benzoate. Propose a procedure to separate the ethyl benzoate from the mixture. You should look up the structures of benzoic acid and ethyl benzoate.arrow_forwardsynthesize o form of acetaminophen from benzenearrow_forward
- Propose a chain-reaction mechanism for the decomposition of dimethyl ether to form methane and formaldehyde.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_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 pyrolysis of acetic esters to give an alkene and acetic acid is thought to involve a planar transition state and cyclic redistribution of (4n + 2) electrons. Propose a mechanism for pyrolysis of the following ester.arrow_forwardWhat reactions and reagents can be used to make phenol from benzene if electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are excluded and benzene is the only source of carbon?arrow_forwardIndustrial chemistry: Provide a mechanism for the hydrocracking of n-Heptane in the presence of hydrogen gas to isopentane and ethane.arrow_forward
- Write two ways how to synthesize butyl benzene from benzene.arrow_forwardSynthesize p-nitrobenzoic acid from benzene.arrow_forwardThe ketone 2-heptanone has been identified as contributing to the odor of a number of dairy products, including condensed milk and cheddar cheese. Describe the synthesis of 2-heptanone from acetylene and any necessary organic and inorganic reagents.arrow_forward
