Question

Starting with either cis-or trans-HO2C-CH=CH-CO2H (i.e., either maleic or fumaric acid) and drawing the other needed compound, provide a syntheses of each of the following: Correct + (c) сон сон Start with maleic acid Draw the other compound necessary for the synthesis. Edit Drawing What major organic product would you expect to obtain when acetic anhydride reacts with each of the following? Note: All structures should be drawn with no bonds to hydrogen atoms. (a) NH3 (excess) Ionic product (draw counterion): + HEC NH Edit Drawing

Answer 1

Answer for first question

The other compound required for synthesis is

Explanation

The other compound cyclopentadiene and cis-maliec acid undergoes concerted mechanism by Diels-Alder mechanism.

H COOH H COOH

Answer for second question

Ammonium acetate is formed as the ionic product.

CH₃COOH + NH₃$\rightarrow$ CH₃COO^-NH₄⁺
