Chapter 23, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reasonable mechanism is to be suggested for the formation of hemiketal intermediate in industrial process for preparation of phenol from cumene hydroperoxide.

Concept Introduction:

A hydroperoxide contains a peroxy OOH, group bonded to a carbon.

A hemiketal is obtained on addition of one molecule of alcohol to the carbonyl group of a ketone.

Strong acid such as sulfuric acid can protonate the OH of the hydroperoxide, converting it into a good leaving group.
