- gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagent.(b) Bleach (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl, a strong oxidizing agent) neutralizes and inactivates mustard gas. Bleach is also effective on organic stains because it oxidizes coloredcompounds to colorless compounds. Propose products that might be formed by thereaction of mustard gas with bleach.arrow_forwardPropose a reasonable reaction mechanism for the transformation given below and provide a brief explanationarrow_forwardPROPOSE A SUITABLE SYNTHESIS TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING TRANSFORMATION.arrow_forward
