Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Tautomerism in amides

Tautomerism is the phenomenon of the interconversion of a single compound into two forms. A hydrogen atom changes its position in the course of this process.

Amides are known to show tautomerism. The two structures that are formed are shown below:

Tautomerism in amides

Out of the two tautomers, the amide tautomer is more stable. Hence, amides tend to stay at their amide tautomer form.

02

Tautomerism in the given amides

a. The tautomerism in the given amide is shown below:

Tautomers of compound a.

b.

The tautomers of the given amide are shown below:

Tautomers of compound b.

c.

In this case, the forward direction is more favored since the more stable tautomer is formed.

Tautomers of compound c.

Question: Rank the compounds in each group in order of increasing reactivity in nucleophilic acyl substitution.

a.C6H5CO2CH3,C6H5COCl,C6H5CONH2b.CH3CH2CO2H,(CH3CH2CO)2O,CH3CH2CONHCH3

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction

What amide(s) will form each of the following amines on treatment with LiAlH4?

Oct-1-yne (HCCCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3) reacts rapidly with NaH, forming a gas that bubbles out of the reaction mixture, as one product. Oct-1-yne also reacts rapidly with CH3MgBr , and a different gas is produced. Write balanced equations for both reactions and identify the gases formed.

Draw the product formed when each compound is treated with two equivalents of CH3CH2CH2CH2MgBr followed by H2O.
