Interpretation:
The expected directing effects that would be observed if the given compound undergoes an electrophilic
Concept Introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which a particular group or atom in a compound is replaced by electrophile. An electrophile is a species that is deficient of electrons
Deactivators are electron withdrawing groups attached to the benzenes that have either positive charge or an atom with high electronegativity. They are meta directors.
Activators are electron donating groups attached to the benzenes that have either electron density that is able to push into benzene ring or a lone pair of electrons. They are ortho-para directing.
Halogens are deactivators that are ortho-para directing.

- Based on the following transformation, provide or propose an efficient synthesisarrow_forwardELO ots Propose a sequence of reactions to synthesize the target compound below from the indicated starting materials. You may use any other organic and/or inorganic reagents necessary to complete your synthesis, but all carbon atoms in the target must be derived from the starting materials specified. It is only necessary to give overall transformations in answering this question. Please DO NOT provide curved arrow mechanisms for the reactions that you use. Please note that all carbon atoms in the target must originate from any of the indicated starting materials. You may not need to use all of these starting materials to complete the synthesis. OH CH3I CH;CH,Br CH;CH2CH,Br EtO `CH3 TARGET 3-Ethyl-2-hexanol You may only use these compounds as necessary as the sources for all C atoms in the target Your ansa ded in the single ndf file that vou upload for the "Exam 5 File Submission"arrow_forwardThe formation of an acetal from a ketone or aldehyde has a very similar mechanism to the formation of an imine (review Equations 18-13 and 18-19). Both require acidic conditions to generate a water leaving group. At very acidic pH, however, the rate of imine formation slows down (see the accompanying graph), whereas the rate of acetal formation does not. Explain this pH dependence of imine formation. 1 2 3 4 6 7 pH Rate of imine formation –>arrow_forward
