Chapter 22, Problem 22.48P

When certain aromatic compounds are treated with formaldehyde (CH2O), and HCl, the CH2Cl group is introduced onto the ring. This reaction is known as chloromethylation.

Chapter 22, Problem 22.48P, When certain aromatic compounds are treated with formaldehyde (CH2O), and HCl, the CH2Cl group is

  1. (a) Propose a mechanism for this example of chloromethylation.
  2. (b) The product of this chloromethylation can be converted to piperonal, which is used in perfumery and in artificial cherry and vanilla flavors. How might the CH2Cl group of the chloromethylation product be converted to a CHO group?

Students have asked these similar questions
1) The carbon-oxygen double bond present in aldehydes and ketones is very polar. What does this mean and how does it arise? 2) The carbon-oxygen double bond is readily attacked by nucleophiles like cyanide ions or ammonia.           (i) What do you understand by the term nucleophile?           (ii) Which part of the carbon-oxygen double bond is attractive to nucleophiles? 3) Why is there a difference between aldehydes and ketones in their response to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid?
1.Name and draw the products of each reaction. (a) 3-methyl oct-2-ene + hydrochloric acid (b) 2-fluoro-2-phenyl butanoic acid + ethanol → 1
Draw the structure of each of the following molecules. (a) pentanoic anhydride; (b) hexanoic propanoic anhydride; (c) ethanoic 3-methylpentanoic anhydride
