- The 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_forwardThree isomeric pentanols with unbranched carbon chains exist.

- we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?arrow_forwardTwo isomers, A and B, of molecular formula C5H8 undergo catalytic hydrogenation with hydrogen gas and palladium on carbon to form the same C5H10 product. On ozonolysis followed by treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), isomer A gave a product of molecular formula C5H8O4 that has two carboxylic acid groups in it whereas isomer B gave a product of molecular formula C5H8O3 that contains a carboxylic acid group and a ketone group.
