- Chemistry Please help explain this textbook question: Although N, N -dimethylaniline is extremely reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution and is readily substituted by weak electrophiles, such as diazonium and nitronium ions, this reactivity is greatly diminished by the introduction of an alkyl substituent in an ortho position.arrow_forwardDefine the carbon bond-forming reactions of enolates with carbonyl electrophiles ?arrow_forwardHow do you account for the fact that N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) is less reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution than is aniline? -NHCCH, -NH, N-Phenylacetamide (Acetanilide) Anilinearrow_forward
- When o-vanillin and p-toluidine are mixed, the mixture turns to a bright orange powder as the imine is formed. At first, the product is an orange melt but, with continued stirring, forms a dry orange powder. Explain why the reaction mixture is melted at first but becomes dry when the reaction is complete.arrow_forwardDraw the resonating structures of aniline and methoxybenzene and discuss whether it is o&p or m-directing and why separatelyarrow_forwardWhat is the reason of providing a mild acid condition for the preparation of imine? Mild acid will protonate the hydroxyl group of the aminoalcohol intermediate without protonating the nitrogen of the amine starting materials. O Strong acid will rapidly neutralize the amine starting materials before any reaction can occur. Strong acid condition will alter the structure of aldehyde or ketone as the strong acid will attach to the carbonyl oxygen of aldehyde or ketone making it least nucleophilic. Mild acid will protonate the aldehyde and ketones readily rather than the strong acid.arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is incorrect? O Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is one of the most useful and common strong bases used in organic chemistry. O For a successful "crossed" condensation reaction of two carbonyl compounds that both have a-hydrogens, LDA is used to form the desired enolate ion and the other carbonyl compound is added slowly O Whereas a kinetic enolate anion is formed faster, a thermodynamic enolate anion is more stable. O HO or RO¯ are good bases to form the enolate of an aldehyde or ketone in an alkylation reaction. O For a successful "crossed" condensation reaction, a carbonyl compound with a- hydrogens is added slowly to a solution of the carbonyl compound without a- hydrogens and a base.arrow_forwardGive Reasons for the following: Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction. þ methylaniline is more basic than þ nitroaniline. Acetylation of —NH2 group is done in aniline before preparing its ortho and para compounds.arrow_forwardExplain why protonating aniline has a dramatic effect on the compound’s UV spectrum, whereas protonating pyridine has only a small effect on that compound’s UV spectrum.arrow_forward
- Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile.arrow_forwardA commonly formed side product during the Hoffman rearrangement is a urea. When butanamide is reacted with bromine in aqueous sodium hydroxide N,N-dipropylurea is obtained together with propylamine. Indicate how this product originates.arrow_forwardIf possible would you be able to solve and explain these questions?arrow_forward
