- Describe a synthesis of the following molecules using the starting material and any additional reagents provided. There will be several steps involved.arrow_forwardWhat steps are needed to convert benzene into p-isobutylacetophenone, a synthetic intermediate used in the synthesis of the anti-inammatory agent ibuprofen.arrow_forwardPlease provide the reagents for the following transformations.arrow_forward
- A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forwardIdentify products A and B from the given 1H NMR data. Treatment of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] with dilute aqueous base forms B. Compound B exhibits four singlets in its 1H NMR spectrum at 1.3 (6 H), 2.2 (3 H), 2.5 (2 H), and 3.8 (1H) ppm. What is the structure of B?arrow_forwardDevise a synthesis of each of the following compounds. Besides inorganic reagents, you may use hydrocarbons and halides having ≤ 6 C′s, and CH2=CHCOOCH3 as starting materials. Each synthesis must use at least one of the carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions.arrow_forward
- Many ethers, including diethyl ether, are effective as general anesthetics. Because simple ethers are quite flammable, their place in medical practice has been taken by highly halogenated nonflammable ethers. Two such general anesthetic agents are isoflurane and enflurane. These compounds are isomeric; isoflurane is 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether; enflurane is 2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl difluoromethyl ether. Write the structural formulas of isoflurane and enflurane.arrow_forwardAn alkene is treated with OsO4 followed by H2O2. When the resulting diol is treated with HIO4, the only product obtained is an unsubstituted cyclic ketone with molecular formula C6H10O. What is the structure of the alkene?arrow_forwardGive the major organic products from the following reactionsarrow_forward
- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis. Give a sequence of reactions that will take the following reactant and give eutypine when the other reactants used in the sequence are acetylene and acetone.arrow_forwardProvide all the reagents and show all structures of the product formed in each step, not just a list of reagents. b) Benzene c) Toluene OHC Ĵ Ĉ COOHarrow_forward
