Chapter 12.1, Problem 1CC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reagents used to accomplish the given transformations should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.

Elimination Reaction: It is just reverse reaction of addition where substituent from the given molecule is removed via E1 (the reaction depends only on the substrate involved in the reaction) or E2 (the reaction depends on both of the substituents in the reaction) mechanism.

Substitution Reaction: The reaction in which one group gets substituted by other group. The types of substitution reactions are electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Anti-Markovnikov’s Addition Rule: The unsymmetrical alkene in a chemical compound reacts with hydrogen halide in a way, where halide ions attacks and bond to the less substitution position of carbon-carbon double bond.

Reduction: Type of chemical reaction which includes removal of oxygen atom or addition of hydrogen atom and it is accomplished by using reagents like ${\text{LiAlH}}_{\text{4}}$, $\text{Zn}\text{and}\text{Hg}$

Etc.,

To identify: The reagents used to complete the given transformations.
