- Which of these is the best reagent to affect the transformation?arrow_forwardExplain why 92% of 2,4-pentanedione exists as the enol tautomer in hexane but only 15% of this compound exists as the enol tautomer in water. The enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds both with hexane and water, but the keto tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with water only. Neither the keto nor the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with hexane, but the keto tautomer can form a hydrogen bond with water, which stabilizes it. The keto tautomer can form hydrogen bonds both with hexane and water, but the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with water only. Neither the keto nor the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with hexane, but the enol tautomer can form an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which stabilizes it.arrow_forwardProvide an arrow pushing mechanism for the following transformation.

H2NNH2 КОН of H3CO ROH, Heat AICI3 A) H3CO H3CO D) H3CO H2NHN 1H NMR of the major product: Expansion aromatic region: 9H, singlet 2H,doublet 2H, doublet CH 3H, singlet 2H, singlet PPMarrow_forwardWhen 1-methoxy-2-methylpropene is treated with HCl, the major product is 1-chloro-1-methoxy-2-methylpropane. Although this reaction proceeds via an iconic mechanism, the Cl is ultimately positioned at the less substituted carbon. Draw a mechanism with this outcome and explain why the less substituted carbonation intermediate is more stable. Explanation: The less substituted carbonation has better stabilization because of a. resonance b. electron donation by the methyl groups c. reduced steric hindrance d. electron withdrawal by the methyl groups while the more substituted carbon is only stabilized by: a. resonance b. electron donation by the methyl groups c. reduced steric hindrance d. electron withdrawal by the methyl groupsarrow_forward7:50 1 LTE Work Screen Submit Draw the major product of this elimination.
