Concept introduction:
Imine is formed as a product when nitrile reacts with Grignard reagent.
Lithium aluminum hydride
Phosphorous tribromide
The Hofmann elimination reaction leads to an anti-Zaitsev elimination product or Hofmann product. An amine with a poor leaving group is converted to a tetraalkyl ammonium ion, which has a moderately good leaving group, using excess of an alkyl halide like
Sodium hydride (NaH) is an ionic hydride, and thus a strong base, but it is not nucleophilic.

- PLEASE COMPLETE THE REACTION. IT IS LIKE THIS IN BOOK .arrow_forwardFor each of the following reactions draw the structure of the major organic product in the box provided.Each numbered set of reagents above or below the arrow represents a complete separate reaction.For multi-step reactions give only the structure of the final product.arrow_forwardDetermine the structures of compounds A and B in the following reaction scheme.arrow_forward
- How can we determine whether the equilibrium will favor products in a nucleophilic substitution?arrow_forwardOH Draw the complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction shown here. (See Problem 17.63.) NaBH4 Ethanolarrow_forwardMatch each reaction sequence to a product below. Assume any necessary workup. Answers may be repeated.arrow_forward
- (SYN) A student wants to carry out the reaction shown here. Explain the problem(s) associated with this synthesis scheme and suggest a way to carry out the transformation efficiently. 1. LDA 2. CH3I HO.arrow_forwardWhat best defines a transition state?arrow_forwardThe attached reaction does not afford the major product that is given.Explain why this is so, and draw the structure of the major product actually formed.arrow_forward
- Explain why this reaction is not possible that it cannot yield the provided productarrow_forwardGive detailed Solution with explanation neededarrow_forwardDraw a complete, step-wise, curved arrow mechanism for each reaction shown below. You don't need to worry about stereochemistry for these problems. It may help if you take the following steps. 1) Find the nucleophile and the electrophile. 2) Determine the major functional group present in the nucleophile and electrophile. 3) Determine the type of reaction this particular nucleophile/electrophile pair is likely to participate in 4) Draw the mechanism that corresponds with this reaction type. a) OH cat.
