- Why aldehydes and ketones do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction?arrow_forwardThe odor of ripe bananas and many other fruits is due to the presence of esters. For example: Banana oil (isopentyl acetate) (a) Write the name (common or IUPAC) of the ester responsible for the fragrance of the following: pineapple, orange, apple, peach, & lavender (b) Choose one fragrant from (a) and name the alcohol and the carboxylic acid needed to synthesize this ester. (c) Show the detailed mechanism of the Fischer Esterification reaction that will be involved in the synthesis of the fragrant you have chosen in part (a).arrow_forwardA bicyclic heterocycle aromatic ring with four N atoms. a Pyridine b Pyrazine c Purine d Pyrrolearrow_forward
- Explain why the hydroxyl group present in phenol increases the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions compared with benzene. include a coordinate diagram in the explaination.arrow_forwardBenzo(a)pyrene is a well known carcinogen. Based on its chemical properties, explain why benzo(a)pyrene and similar compounds are dangerous mutagens.arrow_forwardConstruct flow charts (a.k.a. flow diagrams) to show how to separate each of the following pairs ofwater insoluble compounds:a) a carboxylic acid and a neutral compound (e.g., a hydrocarbon, R-H);b) a neutral compound and an amine;c) a phenol, a carboxylic acid and an amine.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardEthylbutanoate undergoes hydrolysis with acid. What are two products? Ethanoic acid and butanol Ethanol and butnoate Ethane and butanoic acid Ethanol and butanoic acid None of thesearrow_forward1. Indicate the product(s) of each of the following reactions (draw the structure):arrow_forward
- Describe the way that the following compound could be synthesize from benzene.arrow_forwardIn biochemical reactions, decarboxylation of carboxylic acids typically takes place for-keto carboxylic acids. Justify a rational why nature opted for-keto carboxylic acid decarboxylation. Among the following types of biochemical reactions, ester hydrolysis, rearrangement reactions, water elimination reactions, and anhydride hydrolyses, which one is the most favorable one. Rank the above reactions types in the order of being the most to least favorable reactionarrow_forwardCarboxylic acids contain carbonyl group but do not show the nucleophilic addition reaction like aldehydes or ketones. Why?arrow_forward
