- 4) Propanoic acid is a carboxylic acid. List four other propionic acid derivatives, and rank them in order of their expected reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution. [self-study not grade: Which one is most likely used in Friedel-Crafts acylation? Which one is most likely used in alkylation reaction involving base (to deprotonate a-hydrogen) and alkyl halide? Why? What would an amide be synthetically useful for? ]arrow_forwardThe hydrocarbon fluorene was treated with potassium t-butoxide in an acid-base reaction, giving the fluorenide anion and t-butyl alcohol. (a) Which way does the equilibrium lie, and by how much? b) What is the proportion of the fluorenide anion to fluorene? (c) Why is fluorene so highly acidic, considering the pKa of an average alkane is above 50?arrow_forwardProvide the structure of the major organic product of the following reaction and? explain the stereochemistry which results in this product. 2-Pentanol reacting with 1.)

- 3.) For the following reaction scheme, identify by drawing the reagents b and d and the intermediatec that are formed in the synthesis of benzoic acid. b d Benzene HO.arrow_forward(a) Which of the following phenols is the least acidic? (b) Which of the following phenols is the most acidic?arrow_forwardImagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.arrow_forward
- (b) Answer the following questions based on the compounds below. Jawab soalan berikut berdasarkan kepada sebatian di bawah. CI CI A в (i) Which compound has the higher boiling point? Explain. Sebatian manakah mempunyai takat didih yang lebih tinggi? Terangkan. (ii) Draw the SN2 mechanism for the reaction of compound A with sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Lukis mekanisma Sn2 bagi tindak balas antara sebatian A dengan natrium hidroksida, NaOH.arrow_forwardThe two reactions that follow involve nucleophilic substitution at an acyl carbon. For each reaction, show the electrophile and the nucleophile in the key bond- forming step, the corresponding tetrahedral addition intermediate, and the leaving group in the bond-breaking step. Write a general mechanistic scheme (use curved arrows to show bond-making and bond-breaking processes) for these reactions, keeping in mind that acid- and base-catalyzed processes will differ in their timing of proton transfers. 00 || || PhCOCPh+ C₂H5OH 00 |||| PhCOCPh+ 2 CH3NH H₂SO4 cat.
