(a)
Interpretation:
The reason that the compound A undergoes solvolysis much faster than compound B is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which nucleophile attack at the electrophilic carbon center. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The
Neighboring group participation is the interaction of the lone pair electrons of an atom (hetero) or electron present in sigma and pi bond with the parent molecule to increase the
(b)
Interpretation:
The account for the retention of stereochemistry observed in reaction A with a mechanism is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which nucleophile attack at the electrophilic carbon center. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The
Neighboring group participation is the interaction of the lone pair electrons of an atom (hetero) or electron present in sigma and pi bond with the parent molecule to increase the speed of the reaction. It is also known as anchimeric assistance.

- (a) For which aromatic compound do you expect nitration to take place faster: furan or thiophene? (b) For each of these compounds, at which C atom do you expectelectrophilic aromatic substitution to predominantly takeplace? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward46arrow_forwardGive the reagents suitable for effecting each of the following reactions, and write the principal products.

- Provide the reagents and solvents (where appropriate) needed to bring about the following transformations. (a) CI (b)arrow_forwardFor each of the following, write the major product(s) and then draw out each step in the mechanism using curved arrows. Show ALL lone pair electrons and formal charges. Redraw ALL molecules as to show explicitly ALL bonds being broken or formed. Identify the molecular orbital (HOMO) of the nucleophile and the molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile involved in the nucleophilic attack. MO diagrams are not necessary. (a). (b). -CHO 2. H₂O 1.

After a brief discussion with each other, Given proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanecarbaldehyde 1 while Scara proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. When designing a synthetic route for drug molecule, you have to make sure the synthetic process is as efficient as possible (e.g. few synthetic steps, mostly making one product and more). THF A Ph Ph Ph B 3 1. PCC 2. isopropyl magnesium vromide 3. H₂SO4 100 °C OH Method B is not preferred synthetic route due to the number of steps involve (3 steps vs 1 step for Method A). What else is making method A unfavorable synthetic method? Use curly arrows to explain this effect. (Ctrl) -arrow_forward

Explain.

Explain.arrow_forwardQuestion (a) Discuss why the reactivity of nitration towards benzene increases when a mixture concentrated nitric acid (HNO:) mixed with sulphuric acid (H2SO4). You may explain it from the aspect of electrophile formed in the reaction between HNO3 and H2SO4.arrow_forwardOutline a synthesis of each of the following compounds from isopropyl alcohol.
