Synthetic methodology

(a) PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) oxidizes the primary alcohol ( octan - 1 - ol) to aldehyde ( octanal)

localid="1664867875553" reactiona

(b) Ozone cleaves the double bonds similar to permanganate to give ketones and aldehydes. non - 1 - eneundergoes ozonolysis to give the products as octanal andformaldehyde

reactionb

(c) Hydration of alkyne ( oct - 1 - yne) takes place on treatment with disiamylborane

Sia2BH) in presence of hydrogen peroxide (
H2O2) to give

localid="1664868086642" reactionc

(d) 1 - bromoheptaneon treatment with sodium cyanide followed by acid-catalyzed hydration forms octanal .

reactiond

(e) 1 - bromohexaneon treatment with magnesium in ether forms a Grignard product which further reacts with an epoxide (oxirane) and H3O+gives the product as octanal

reactione

(f) Octanoicacid undergoes reduction with lithium aluminum hydride(LiAlH4) followed by oxidation with PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) gives the final product asoctanal .

reactionf

(g) DIBAL-H reduces ethyloctanoate to an aldehyde (octanal ).

Question:

  1. The Key Mechanism for Fischer esterification omitted some important resonance forms of the intermediates shown in brackets. Complete the mechanism by drawing all the resonance forms of these two intermediates.
  2. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed reaction of acetic acid with ethanol to give ethyl acetate.
  3. The Principle of Microscopic Reversibility states that a forward reaction and a reverse reaction taking place under the same conditions (as in equilibrium) must follow the same reaction pathway in microscopic detail. The reverse of the Fischer esterification is the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate, PhCOOCH2CH3.

Show how you would use extractions with a separatory funnel to separate a mixture of the following compounds: benzoic acid, phenol, benzyl alcohol, aniline.

Show how you would convert glycine to following derivatives. Show the structure of the product in each case.

(a) Glycine isopropyl ester

(b) N-benzoylglycine

(c) N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine

(d) Tert-butyloxycarbonylglycine

Phenols (pKa≈ 10) are more acidic than other alcohols, so they are easily deprotonated by sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The anions of phenols (phenoxide ions) can be used in the Williamson ether synthesis, especially with very reactive alkylating reagents such as dimethyl sulfate. Using phenol, dimethyl sulfate, and other necessary reagents, show how you would synthesize methyl phenyl ether.
