- Wittig reactions with the following -chloroethers can be used for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones. (a) Draw the structure of the triphenylphosphonium salt and Wittig reagent formed from each chloroether. (b) Draw the structural formula of the product formed by treating each Wittig reagent with cyclopentanone. Note that the functional group is an enol ether or, alternatively, a vinyl ether. (c) Draw the structural formula of the product formed on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of each enol ether from part (b).arrow_forwardExplain how the following changes affect the rate of the reaction of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with methanol: a. The alkyl halide is changed to 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. b. The alkyl halide is changed to 2-chloro-3-methylbutane.arrow_forwardAcid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-1-butanol produces 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product.
