Write a mechanism that accounts for the formation of ethyl isopropyl ether as one of the products in the following reaction. CI OEt HCI EtOH Write the mechanism for step one of this reaction. Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for step two of this reaction (where the product of step one reacts with the solvent, ethanol). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for the last step of this reaction (formation of ethyl isopropyl ether). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. CI will act as the base in this reaction.

Propose a reasonable mechanism for the reaction, drawing out Lewis structure, using arrows to show electron flow, clearly identifying the bond making/bond breaking steps, and proposing reasonable intermediates for the reaction.

In this chapter, we studied the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene. The reverse of this reaction is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol. OH H,SO, CH,-CH-CH, CH-CH=CH, + H,O 2-Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol) Propene Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-propanol to propene.

Suggest a step by step mechanism for this reaction.

Draw a Lewis structure of sodium ethyl mercaptide (NaSC2H5), showing all relevant lone pairs and formal charges. Based on the structure you drew, do you expect that it would act as a good nucleophile? Do you expect it to act as a strong base?

Chemistry Trichloroethanol is obtained by the direct reduction of chloral hydrate in water with sodium borohydride. Show the mechanism of this reaction. (Note: sodium borohydride does not directly replace the hydroxy group at the carbon atom.) HO OH H Cl3C NaBH4 H₂O Cl3C OH

When ethoxybenzene is treated with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, two products are obtained, each of which has the molecular formula C8H9NO3. For the mechanism, draw the curved arrows as needed. Include lone pairs and charges in your answer.  Do not draw out any hydrogen explicitly in your products. Do not use abbreviations such as Me or Ph.

1. NaOEt CO₂Et 2. H3O+ 3. heat Br H3C CO₂H CO2 H3C CO₂Et The malonic ester synthesis is a carbonyl alkylation reaction. It is used to prepare carboxylic acids from primary alkyl halides, lengthening the carbon chain by two atoms. Thus, the product can be visualized as being a "substituted acetic acid." The reaction consists of three steps: generation of the enolate anion followed by SN2 reaction with a primary alkyl halide, ester hydrolysis under acid conditions, and decarboxylation. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions 22 CX EtO₂C EtO₂C HOCH2CH3 HOCH2CH3 EtO₂C EtO₂C

What is the final product for the reaction below? Show the mechanism for this reaction. chromic acid

Why is a strong acid (like HCI) used in a Grignard reaction? O 1) A strong acid is used in the Grignar reaction in order to protonate the carbonyl in order to make a better leaving group, OH. Once teh OH leaves, the alcohol group is reformed due to water. A stable tetrahedral intermediate with a negatively charged oxygen forms O 2) that does not possess a leaving group. This intermediate will exist until a proton source from the strong acid protonates the negatively charged oxygen, affording the neutral alcohol product. 3) The use of a strong acid is not necessary. It is simply recommended as it increases the yield produced in the reaction. 4) The use of a strong acid is necessary for the formation of a Grignard reagent. Without a strong acid, the organomagnesium compound cannot be formed.
