Chapter 16: Q24P (page 758)

What are the products of the following reactions?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Phenyl methanol
  2. Butanamine
  3. Cyclohexanol
  4. No reaction

Step by step solution

01

Catalytic hydrogenation

Metals like nickel and palladium broke the homolytically, and two hydrogen atoms were added to the reactant.

02

Catalytic hydrogenation of ester, carboxylic acid, and acid anhydride

The carboxylic acid, ester, and anhydride are less reactive than aldehyde and ketones. Therefore, the carbonyl group of these compounds can’t be reduced by catalytic hydrogenation.

d. Methyl acetate has an ester group that is less reactive toward catalytic hydrogenation reaction. Therefore, no reaction can take place.
