Provide the missing reactants, reagents, or products for the following reaction sequences below.arrow_forwardIn addition to not undergoing substitution reactions, the alkyl bromide shown in Problem 11-32 also fails to undergo an elimination reaction when treated with base. Explain.arrow_forward1) LiAlH4; ) H3O+ will do which of the following reactions? 3-Phenyl-butanoic acid → 3-phenyl-butan-1-ol Benzene → cyclohexane Benzoic acid → benzaldehyde 2-Phenyl-hexanoic acid → benzoic acid and carbon dioxide 2,3-dimethyl-pent-1-yne → 2,3-dimethyl-pent-1-enearrow_forward
- Mustard gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagentarrow_forwardChoose a Grignard reagent _______and a ketone _______ that can be used to produce the following compound: 1-Ethylcyclohexanolarrow_forwardhelp me draw the products when ethyl isopropyl ether is treated with the following reagent: 1.HBr (2 equivalents) 2.HI (in excess)arrow_forward
- 7. Complete the following reaction and propose a mechanism.arrow_forwardAll rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cumene hydroperoxide to phenol and acetone.arrow_forward
