Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The series of equations for the preparation of each of the given compound from the designated starting material using suitable organic or inorganic reagents is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The conjugate base of alkyne acts as a good nucleophile. On reaction with primary
In hydration of alkynes, a molecule of water gets added to a molecule of alkyne.Hydrogen atom gets attached to the less substituted triple bonded carbon atom, and hydroxyl groupgetsbonded to the more substituted triple bonded carbon atom and forms a
Geminal and vicinal dihalides, on reaction with a strong base, undergo double dehydrohalogenation and form alkynes.
On halogenation, alkynes form vicinal dihalides and, on reaction with hydrogen halides, they form geminal dihalides in two steps.
Primary alcohol can be converted to primary alkyl bromide by reaction with sodium bromide in acidic condition.

You do not need to include stereochemistry in your answer. If no significant reaction will occur under the conditions shown, check the box under the drawing area instead. Note: for the purpose of this problem, simple acid-base reactions between the reagents should not be considered a significant reaction.arrow_forward

- Like other electrophiles, carbocations add to alkenes to form new carbocations, which can then undergo substitution or elimination reactions depending on the reaction conditions. With this in mind, consider the following reactions of nerol, a natural product isolated from lemon grass and other plant sources. Treatment of nerol with TsOH forms α-terpineol as the major product, whereas treatment of nerol with chlorosulfonic acid, HSO3Cl, forms a constitutional isomer, α-cyclogeraniol. Write stepwise mechanisms for both processes. Each mechanism involves the addition of an electrophile—a carbocation—to a double bond.arrow_forwardLike other electrophiles, carbocations add to alkenes to form new carbocations, which can then undergo substitution or elimination reactions depending on the reaction conditions.
