Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the lactone formed as the final product in the given reaction and havinga molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acids in presence of the reagent
However, the dianion formed has carbanionic character and it can potentially act as anucleophile to create a new carbon-carbon single bond.
The reactions of dianions with
The hydroxy acid generated can be then cyclized to yield a lactone, this creates a new carbon-oxygen single bond between carbonyl carbon in the carboxylic acid group and the oxygen atom in the epoxide.

- Interpret the acidity of alcohols on the basis of ground-state polarization and stability of the alcoholate anion(indicate and give symbols for bond polarization)! Compare the relative acidity of ethanol and 2-fluoroethanol!arrow_forward3. It is required to introduce a halogen group to a five membered ring, thiophene. Discuss the reaction mechanism involved in the reaction by selecting a suitable halogen group and analyze why a particular substituted product obtained after the reaction is predominant over the other possible product(s) with the help of reactions. To meet the ever increasing demand of global population, the demand for textile products and consumption of dyes by these industries is increasing.arrow_forward(a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane 2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their proposed method is better than the other.
