Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of Dibenzo-18-crown-6 is to be given and a plausible mechanism for its formation is to be provided.
Concept introduction:
Electrophiles are electron deficient species that have positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles that accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species that have negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles that donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired electrons, which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.

Organic Chemistry
- An unknown alcohol with a molecular formula of C7H14O was oxidized to an aldehyde with HOCl. When an acidic solution of the alcohol was distilled, two alkenes were obtained. The alkene formed in greater yield was determined to be 1-methylcyclohexene. The other alkene formed the original un-known alcohol when treated with BH3/THF followed by H2O2, HO-, and H2O. Identify the unknown alcohol.arrow_forwardGrignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized. Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.arrow_forwardLike alcohols, ethers undergo a cleavage by breaking a carbon–carbon bond between an alkyl group and the carbon bonded to the ether oxygen atom; that is, the red C–C bond in R–CH2OR' is broken. With this in mind, propose structures for the fragments formed by a cleavage of (CH3)2CHCH2OCH2CH3. Suggest a reason why an ether fragments by acleavage.arrow_forward
