Interpretation:
The structures for the major products from the given reactions are to be written with stereoisomers where applicable.
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.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by addition of molecules.
Ozonolysis: An organic reaction in which the double bonds of
Markovnikov’s rule: The nucleophile attacks the carbon having less number of hydrogens.
When the order of progression from the group of highest priority to that of the next highest priority is clockwise, it is said to be the
When the order of progression from the group of highest priority to that of the next highest priority is anticlockwise, then it is said to be the
The mixture that contains equimolar quantity of two enantiomers is called a racemic mixture.

- Provide a mechanism which explains the following conversions. Include all intermediate structures where appropriate and watch your arrows and chargesarrow_forwardOn being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) produced a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each of which had the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of major isomer B or minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures and mechanisms for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forwardWrite a mechanism for the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2,4-dinitrobromobenzene with aqueous potassium thiocyante solution. Show ALL possible resonance structures for the intermediate. Be as complete as possible and show electron flow for all steps.arrow_forward
- The following equation shows the bromination of compound 1. Propose a structure for product D and a curved arrow mechanism that accounts for its formation featuring the initiation, propagation and termination steps. can you also discuss the stereochemical outcome.arrow_forwardA student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Bradyarrow_forwardMaking use of the corresponding mechanisms and additional comments, justify the following observations A) Mechanism of Formation of the super-electrophile B) COMPLETE mechanism meta position C) COMPLETE mechanism para position D) Explanation of the resultarrow_forward
- Wolff-Kishner reduction of compound W gave compound A. Treatment of A with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave B which on reduction with LiAH4 gave C.
