Draw reaction of an Α,β -unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative with a nucleophile forms a nucleophilic acyl substitution product with a reactive carbonyl group and a conjugate addition product with a less reactive carbonyl group
Can you draw the mechanism for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through an acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction. Where
Phosphoric acid donates a proton ((H^+)) to the hydroxyl group of cyclohexanol, forming a protonated cyclohexanol intermediate. • The protonated cyclohexanol undergoes dehydration, leading to the removal of a water molecule and the formation of cyclohexene. • The released proton combines with water to form hydronium ion (H3O+), regenerating the catalyst.
The mechanism should illustrate the acid-catalyzed dehydration process, where phosphoric acid facilitates the removal of water from cyclohexanol, resulting in the formation of cyclohexene.
Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO−) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme. This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.
