The reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols.
a. Propose a mechanism for the Ritter reaction.b. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols?c. How does the Ritter reaction differ from the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile to form an amide?
The anticoagulant Warfarin can be synthesized by a conjugate addition (Michael addition) reaction as shown below:
a) Propose a mechanism for the reaction starting from the enolate shown below. You can assume water is present for any proton transfers needed.b) We saw that the keto tautomer is normally preferred over the enol tautomer, however, the enol tautomer is present in the final product (Warfarin) and that is the more stable tautomer in this case. Why do you think the enol tautomer is more stable? Hint: consider the molecule as a whole.
Explain why compound A readily decarboxylates (forming pyrrole) when heated
with acid, but compounds B and C do not under the same conditions.
