Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reagents involved in given reactions are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Primary alcohols on oxidation with PCC form aldehyde while secondary alcohols require drastic conditions like chromic acid to form
Treatment of
Carbonyl compounds react with alcohol to form acetals. First, one molecule of alcohol reacts with carbonyl to form hemiacetal followed by another alcohol molecule to form acetals.
Acetals and hemiacetals can be cleaved through acidic hydrolysis to form carbonyl compound and alcohol.
Carbonyl compounds react with Grignard reagent followed by hydrolysis to form alcohols.
On the reaction of an alkene with ozone, carbonyl compounds are formed.
Carbonyl compounds undergo Wolff–Kishner reduction on reaction with hydrazine and then potassium hydroxide to form
Ketones react with peracids to form esters by migration of one of the alkyl or aryl group.
