Chapter 6, Problem 61IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The curved arrows for each step of the mechanism must be drawn and the sequence of arrow pushing patterns must be identified.

Concept Introduction :

The curved arrow shows the electron flow; and thereby, it shows bond breaking and new bond formation. The alpha hydrogen of ketones is acidic due to electron withdrawing nature of the keto group.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the conversion of 4 to 5 the electrophilic and nucleophilic centers must be identified with the help of resonance.

Concept Introduction :

Electrophilic centers are those where there is low electron density. Nucleophilic centers are those where there is higher electron density.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Configuration of the newly formed chiral center during conversion of 4 to 5 must be determined. Why the other possible configuration is not observed must be explained.

Concept Introduction :

The configuration of a chiral center depends on the three dimensional orientations and priorities of different groups. Priorities of those groups can be determined using CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) priority rules according to which higher is the atomic number, higher is the priority.

An organic compound A (C2H3N) is used as a solvent of choice for many organic reactions because it is not reactive in mild acidic and basic conditions. Compound A on treatment with Ni/ H2 forms B. When B is treated with nitrous acid at 273K ethanol is obtained. When B is warmed with chloroform and NaOH a foul smelling compound C formed. Identify A, B and C.
Synthesis. Developments in medicine follows advances in synthetic chemistry. Anyone that disagrees would perhaps be well served to imagine the state of surgery if organic chemists had not developed local anesthetics. The following structure is the free base of hexylcaine (1), a local anesthetic developed by Merck. Propose a synthesis of 1 starting (1) from benzene and acyclic components containing five carbons or less. Justify any chemo-, regio- or stereo selective steps in your synthesis. (
5) Limonene is a compound found in orange oil and lemon oil with molecular formula C₁0H16- When limonene is treated with 1 equivalent of mCPBA, the product is limonene oxide as depicted below. When limonene is treated with excess ozone (03) and then with dimethylsulfide (Me₂S), one of the organic products of the reaction is formaldehyde. Of the structures below, which correspond to the structure of limonene and/or the structure of the other major organic product when limonene is reacted with O3 and Me₂S? Please select any and all that apply. A) 'Н H B) ? H 1) 03 (XS) 2) Me₂S (xs) ? limonene, C10H16 D) mCPBA (1 equiv) E) limonene oxide None of the above
