Concept Introduction:
>Alkylation of acetylene takes place in two steps. Acetylene has two acidic protons which can be abstracted by a strong base.
>The acetylene is treated with sodium amide to convert the acetylene to its conjugate base in the second step.
>The acetylide ion reacts with an
This sequence converts acetylene to its monosubstituted derivative which is also a terminal alkyne.
>Repeating this sequence of steps using a different alkyl halide converts the acetylene to its disubstituted derivative. The triple bond is internal in this derivative.
>Hydration of
In the first step, addition of water to the triple bond takes place according to Markovnikov's rule. Hydrogen gets attached to the triple bonded carbon atom having more hydrogens attached to it.
>This addition reaction produces an enol which changes to ketone by tautomerization.
>The overall addition reactionemploys

- Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) Given 8.50 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100%yield? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.arrow_forwardWhat reactions and reagents can be used to make phenol from benzene if electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are excluded and benzene is the only source of carbon?arrow_forwardExplains the general concept of the manufacture of benzene by dealkylation of toluene with hydrogen.arrow_forward

- Several diamines are building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals. Show how both 1,3-propanediamine and 1,4-butanediamine can be prepared from acrylonitrile.arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forwardEthyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple.
