Benzoic acid, Ph-COOH (C6H5CO2H), is not soluble in water while it dissolves in ether (diethyl ether), (CH3CH2)2O. Yet upon treatment with sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid turns hydrophilic and dissolves in water.
Provide chemical explanation of this observation.
b) Listed below are several hypothetical nucleophilic substitution reactions.
None is synthetically useful because the product indicated is not formed at an
appreciable rate. In each case provide an explanation for the failure of the
reaction to take place as indicated.

- Nonconjugated , -unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, are in an acid-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated , -unsaturated isomers. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardAlkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.

H₂O H3C OH Br The a-bromination of carbonyl compounds by Br2 in acetic acid is limited to aldehydes and ketones because acids, esters, and amides don't enolize to a sufficient extent. Carboxylic acids, however, can be a-brominated by first converting the carboxylic acid to an acid bromide by treatment with PBr3. Following enolization of the acid bromide, Br2 reacts in an a-substitution reaction. Hydrolysis of the acid bromide completes the reaction.
