Chapter 9, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The principal product in each of the given reactions is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The conjugate base of alkyne acts as a good nucleophile. On reaction with primary alkyl halide, it undergoes substitution reaction. The order of better leaving group of halogen in a nucleophilic substitution reaction is I>Br>Cl>F.

Alkynes, on hydrogenation with catalyst Lindlar palladium, undergo syn addition and yield cis alkene.

Alkynes, on hydration, undergo addition of a molecule of water. The hydrogen atom is bonded to less substituted triple bonded carbon, and the hydroxyl groupis bonded to more substituted triple bonded carbon atom and forms a ketone through enol formation.

Germinal and vicinal dihalides, on reaction with a strong base, undergo double dehydrohalogenation and form alkynes.

Ozonolysis of alkynes involves the cleavage of triple bond and formation of carboxylic acids as products. An acyclic alkyne forms two carboxylic acids whereas a cyclic alkyne forms a single product with two carboxylic acid groups.

A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same molecular formula, C8H8O. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H10O. However, compound K can be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds reach with Fehling's solutions, they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not. Identify the possible formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring their possible isomerism. Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with…

Give the structure(s) of the compound that will form under these conditions. The researchers then decided to change the starting material and reaction conditions, to those shown below, and were able to obtain product 2 in 98% yield. Provide a detailed mechanism on how reactants 3 and 4 lead to the formation of product 2.
