Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The synthesis of the given compounds starting from ethyne is to be outlined.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron-deficient species, which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles, which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron-rich species, which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles, which donate electron pair.
Nucleophilic substitution reaction is a reaction in which an electron-rich nucleophile attacks the positive or partial positive charge of an atom or a group of atoms to replace a leaving group.
The acid catalyzed dehydration is a reaction in which alcohol is converted into alkene.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Nucleophilic substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any nucleophile is called substitution reaction.
A nucleophile is a molecule or atom with most negative charge.
There are two types of nucleophilic substitution reactions:
The reaction in which the halide group is removed to form an alkene is called dehydrohalogenation.
The compounds that have the same molecular formula of atoms but the structure of the compounds are different for the positions of atoms are called isomers.
In double bond or cyclic compounds, if two same
If the two functional groups are present on the different sides of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as Trans.
Cis-trans isomerism exists in the compounds in which similar groups are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.
In
In alkenes, if the higher priority group on both the carbon is on the opposite side, configuration is termed as E-configuration.
