Chapter 20, Problem 34P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The possible products of A that might be formed by hydrolysis in aqueous
Concept introduction:
A
The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons.
The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate.
The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.

In the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has
been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are
known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD):

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
If you attempted to make soap from butanoic acid by forming sodium butanoate, would your preparation have the properties to act as an emulsifying agent (soap)?

- Give the sequence of the relative reactivities of carboxylic acid derivatives. Explain why acyl chloride can be converted into ester but ester cannot be converted into acyl chloride?arrow_forwardEarly organic chemists used the Hofmann elimination reaction as the last step of a process known as a Hofmann degradation—a method used to identify amines. In a Hofmann degradation, an amine is methylated with excess methyl iodide in a basic solution, treated with silver oxide to convert the quaternary ammonium iodide to a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and then heated to allow it to undergo a Hofmann elimination. Once the alkene product is identified, working backward gives the structure of the amine. Identify the amine in each of the following cases: a. 4-Methyl-2-pentene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. b. 3-Methyl-1-butene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. c. 2-Methyl-1-3-butadiene is obtained from two successive Hofmann degradations of a secondary amine.arrow_forwardFeatures of the structure of imino acids.
