Question

Question 2 Check which of the following statements are TRUE. The following sequence will result in formation of a ketone DA 1. RCOCI, Ph2 Culi 2. H30+ B Methoxy benzene is an activator AND a meta-director When a ketone is reacted with LDA (Pr2NLI), the LDA is more likely to act as a base rather than a nucleophile. One method of shifting the equilibrium in the direction of the ester, in the Fischer esterification reaction is to remove water as it is formed. Ketones are more reactive as electrophiles than aldehydes. Moving to another question will save this response.

Answer 1

The following sequence will result in formation of a ketone A 1. RCOCI, Ph2 Culi 2. H30+ true B. Methoxy benzene is an activator AND a meta-director false. methoxy group is ortho para orienting group. When a ketone is reacted with LDA (Pr2NLI), the LDA is more likely to act as a base rather than a nucleophile. True. because LDA is a large sized base. One method of shifting the equilibrium in the direction of the ester, in the Fischer esterification reaction is to remove water as it is formed true E. Ketones are more reactive as electrophiles than aldehydes. false A,C,D are true.
