Predict the major products of the following reactions.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) condenses in presence of phenyl hydrazine and H+ to formcyclohexanone phenylhydrazone .

reaction a

(b) DIBAL-H reduces ester (methyl cyclopent - 1 - enecarboxylate ) directly to aldehyde (cyclopent - 1 - enecarbaldehyde ) at dry ice temperature of about- 780C .

reaction b

(c) DIBAL-H reduces nitrile (cyclohexanecarbonitrile ) to its corresponding aldehyde ( cyclohexanecarbaldehyde) . The initial reaction produces an aluminum complex which hydrolyzes in aqueous medium.

reaction c

(d) 2 - cyclohexylacetyl chloridereacts with a Gilman reagent (lithiumdialkyl cuprate) forms a ketone ( 1 - cyclohexylbut - 3 - en - 2 - one).

reaction d

(e) 2 - methoxytetrahydro - 2H - pyran on hydrolysis forms the products as 5 - hydroxypentanal5 - hydroxypentanal and methanol

reaction e

(f) Lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride reduces the given acid chloride

(2 - cyclohexylacetyl chloride ) to an aldehyde ( 2 - cyclohexylacetaldehyde).

reaction f

(g) Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid reacts with ethyllithium fllowe dbu hydrolysis to form1 - cyclohexylprop - 2 - en - 1 - one.

reaction g

(h) (E) - but - 2 - en - 1 - ylidenetriphenylphosphoranecombines with pentan - 3 - one1 - ethylcyclohexa - 1,3 - diene to forms

reaction h

(i) benzo[d][1,3]dioxole forms pyrocatechol on hydrolysis

reaction i

(j) 1 - (2 - (2 - aminoethyl)phenyl)ethanone forms 1 - methyl - 3,4 - dihydroisoquinolineon protonation followed by loss of water molecule.

reaction j

Show how you would synthesize the following compounds from the appropriate carboxylic acids or acid derivatives.

a)


b)



c)

The following reaction takes place under second-order conditions (strong nucleophile), yet the structure of the product shows rearrangement. Also, the rate of this reaction is several thousand times faster than the rate of substitution of hydroxide ion on 2-chlorobutane under similar conditions. Propose a mechanism to explain the enhanced rate and rearrangement observed in this unusual reaction. (“Et” is the abbreviation for ethyl.

Which of the following compounds are chiral? Draw each compound in its most symmetric conformation, star any asymmetric carbon atoms, and draw any mirror planes. Label any meso compounds. You may use Fischer projections if you prefer.

(a) meso-2,3-dibromo-2,3-dichlorobutane

(b) -2,3-dibromo-2,3-dichlorobutane

(c) (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-chlorobutane

(d) (2R,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane

(e) (R,R)-2,3-dibromobutane

(f)

Question: Oxidation of a primary alcohol to an aldehyde usually gives some over-oxidation to the carboxylic acid. Assume you have used PCC to oxidize pentan-1-ol to pentanal.

(b). Which of the expected impurities cannot be removed from pentanal by acid-base extractions? How would you remove this impurity?

Use chemical equations to show how the following accidents cause injury to the clothing involved (not to mention the skin under the clothing!)

  1. An industrial chemist spills aqueous H2SO4on her nylon stockings but fails to wash it off immediately.
  2. An organic laboratory student spills aqueous NaOHon his polyester slacks.
