Chapter 13, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of compound A formed upon reaction of 6-phenylhexanoyl chloride in carbon disulfide added is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Inorganic oxidizing agents such as chromic acid or potassium permanganate do not oxidize benzene or alkanes, but do oxidize alkyl benzenes containing at least one

benzylic hydrogen to benzoic acid.

Carboxylic acids are produced upon oxidation of alkyl benzene.

In Friedel-Crafts acylation, the acetyl group is added to aromatic ring by reaction of acyl halides with aromatic compound in the presence of aluminum chloride as a catalyst.

Dehydration of 2,2,3,4,4,-pentamethyl-3-pentanol gives two alkenes A and B. Ozonolysis of A gives formaldehyde and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3- pentanone. Ozonolysis of B gave formaldehyde and 3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-2-pentanone. Identify and draw the structures of A and B, and explain how B could be formed in the dehydration reaction.
What is the structural requirement for a substance to react with ammoniacal AgNO3? Why would acetylene react with Tollen's reagent but not cyclohexane or cyclohexene?
Wolff–Kishner reduction (hydrazine, KOH, ethylene glycol, 130°C) of the compound shown gave compound A. Treatment of compound A with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) gave compound B, which on reduction with lithium aluminum hydride gave compound C. Oxidation of compound C with chromic acid gave compound D (C9H14O). Identify compounds A through D in this sequence.
