(a)
Interpretation:
The use of Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Friedel Crafts acylation is the electrophilic
(b)
Interpretation:
The use of Friedel-Crafts acylation to synthesize the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Friedel Crafts acylation is the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction that allows the reaction between arenes and acyl chlorides. It is a very effective way of attaching hydrocarbon-based groups on to a benzene ring and the product formed is a ketone.

- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis. Give a sequence of reactions that will take the following reactant and give eutypine when the other reactants used in the sequence are acetylene and acetone.arrow_forwardProvide an explanation (in detail) on how base catalysts speed up nucleophilic reactions of carbonyl compounds.arrow_forwardWhich could explain the stronger acidity of phenols compared to alcohols. Why? a.pi-electron delocalization b.steric effect c.hydrogen bonding d.hyperconjugationarrow_forward
- how to produce benzylamine from benzene ?arrow_forwardSynthetize 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid from benzaldehyde using whatever organic/inorganic reagents are needed. 3-phenyl-2-propenoic = 3-phenylacrylic acidarrow_forwardCarbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).arrow_forward
