Unit 3 Homework Assignment Name 1. The first two steps in the base-catalyzed condensation of acetaldehyde...
A 3-ethylcyclohexan-1-one reacts with both propMgBr, and water. In the first part of the reaction, the propane part of propMgBr takes the bonding electrions from MgBr, becoming a carbanion. The carbanion attacks the slightly positive carbon of the carbonyl group. The pi obnd between the oxygen and carbon break, and the electron pair moves toward the oxygen atom. Now the intermediate reacts with water. First a hydrogen atom loses it's bonding pair to the oxygen in the water molecule. Now...

What is the IUPAC name of the given molecule? OH Br 1-bromo-2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid 2-ethyl-3-methylpentan-2-ol-1-carboxyl bromide 2-ethyl-3-methyl-2-ol-pentanoyl bromide O2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoyl bromide What statement is TRUE about the mechanism for the reaction shown here? CH,(CH)2CO,CH, NaOH CH3(CH12COCH excess heat CH3(CH)2CO,CH2 Water attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. The first step of the reaction involves protonation of the ester carbonyl oxygen. One of the products formed is glycerol. The hydroxide deprotonates the alpha carbon. Which bases among the following is/are used...
4. Multiple Choice Place your answer in the space provided. (2 pts. each; 12 pts. total) Which is NOT true of the aldol condensation? A. It accomplishes the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond B. The enolate is favored at equilibrium (assume NaOH as the base) C. The key step is the mechanism is attack of the enolate ion on a carbonyl carbon atom D. Dehydration of the aldol product is often observed and is irreversible. _Which sets of hydrogen...
Organic Chemistry 2
Experimental Outline In its simplest form, the aldol condensation is a self-addition involving two molecules of the same aldehyde or ketone, in the presence of a base, and results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond joining the carbonyl carbon of one molecule to the a-position of the second. In many cases - if the reaction conditions aren't sufficiently mild - the initially formed aldol product reacts further in an elimination reaction to give what is...

**(left structure)****(right
structure)**
The two structures for the assignment are above and
the task is:
1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target
molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic
starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends
upon the target. For the structure given above (structure on left),
the starting material is either malonic ester or acetoacetic ester
and any halide. For the structure given above (structure on right),
the starting material is any...
Can you help me identify reagent (i), Compound 8 and
Compound 12 in the reaction scheme?
You have laboratory data on all the compounds in the
synthesis, however the amount of data available to you varies. Some
have the entirety of the spectral data, others have as little as
the elemental analysis. Use the laboratory data to help you
discover which reaction has been performed.
The lab data for Compound 8 and 12 is as
follows:
You can use any...
Page 1 Synthesis using Carbonyl O-Substitution Chemistry Preamble This experiment involves the synthesis of target molecules using a-substitution chemistry. You are assigned two target molecules, one of which is best synthesized by an alkylation approach, while the other is best synthesized by an addition or condensation approach. You must do the following: 1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends...
