Chapter 20: Q26P (page 1038)

Draw resonance forms to show how the BHA radical is stabilized by delocalization of the radical electron over other atoms in the molecule.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The resonating structures are the different structures of a single (similar) compound that show the movement of charges or electrons bringing stability to the compound.

Step by step solution

01

The Resonating structures.

The resonating structures are the different structures of a single (similar) compound that show the movement of charges or electrons bringing stability to the compound.

02

The BHA radical.

The BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) compound is;

The compound in presence of light forms a radical; as shown below.

03

The BHA radical is stabilized by delocalization of the radical electron over other atoms in the molecule.

The possible resonating structures are;

The reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with concentrated HCl goes by the SN1 mechanism. Write a mechanism for this reaction.

Q.13Most of the Fischer esterification mechanism is identical with the mechanism of acetal formation. The difference is in the final step, where a resonance-stabilized carbocation loses a proton to give the ester. Write mechanisms for the following reactions, with the comparable steps directly above and below each other. Explain why the final step of the esterification (proton loss) cannot occur in acetal formation, and show what happens instead.
