Step by step solution

01

N,N-dimethyl hexane-2-amine

This is a cope rearrangement. In this the more substituted alkene will be the major product. This product is called Hoffmann product. Here N,N-dimethyl hexane-2-amine reacts with hydrogen peroxide and then formed an alkene which on Hoffmann elimination gave the more substituted alkene as shown there.

: N,N-diethyl hexane-2-amine

This is a cope rearrangement. In this the more substituted alkene will be the major product. This product is called Hoffmann product. Here N,N-diethyl hexane-2-amine reacts with hydrogen peroxide and then formed an alkene which on Hoffmann elimination gave the more substituted alkene as shown there.

(b)

03

cyclohexyl dimethyl amine

This is a cope rearrangement. In this the more substituted alkene will be the major product. This product is called Hoffmann product. Here cyclohexyl dimethyl amine reacts with hydrogen peroxide and then formed an alkene which on Hoffmann elimination gave the more substituted alkene as shown there.

(c)

04

N-ethyl piperidine

This is a cope rearrangement. In this the more substituted alkene will be the major product. This product is called Hoffmann product. Here N-ethyl piperidine reacts with hydrogen peroxide and then formed an alkene which on Hoffmann elimination gave the more substituted alkene as shown there.

Show how to prepare the following aromatic amines by aromatic nitration, followed by reduction. You may use benzene and toluene as your aromatic starting materials.

  4. m-aminobenzoic acid

(A true story.) A drug user responded to an ad placed by a DEA informant in a drug-culture magazine. He later flew from Colorado to Maryland, where he bought some 1-phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) from the informant. The police waited nearly a month for the suspect to synthesize something, then obtained a search warrant, and searched the residence. They found the unopened bottle of P2P; apparently, the suspect was not a good chemist and was unable to follow the instructions the informant gave him. They also found pipes and bongs with residues of marijuana and cocaine, plus a bottle of methylamine hydrochloride, some muriatic acid (dilute HCL), zinc strips, flasks, and other equipment.

(a) Assume you are consulting for the police. Show what synthesis the suspect was prepared to carry out, to provide probable cause for the charge of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance.

(b) Assume you are a member of the jury. Would you convict the defendant of attempting to manufacture a controlled substance?
