Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reaction mechanism of the given organic reaction is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Anionic polymerization: This polymerization is taken place due to the action of nucleophiles on an electron deficient site of the given monomer. This polymerization occurs in three steps, initiation, propagation and termination.
>Cationic polymerization This polymerization is taken place due to the action of electrophiles on an electron rich site of the given monomer. This polymerization occurs in three steps, initiation, propagation and termination.

- Formaldehyde, H2C=O, is known to all biologists because of its usefulness as a tissue preservative. When pure, formaldehyde trimerizes to give trioxane, C3H6O3, which, surprisingly enough, has no carbonyl groups. Only one monobromo derivative (C3H5BrO3) of trioxane is possible. Propose a structure for trioxane.arrow_forwardWhich alcohols can be prepared as a single product by hydroboration– oxidation of an alkene? Which alcohols can be prepared as a single product by the acid-catalyzed addition of H2O to an alkene?arrow_forwardCompound X (structure shown below) has a molecular formula C5H1o and reacts with H2/Pt to give compound Y, C5H12.

- Name the type of reaction SO3 S OH H,SO 4. O Sulfonation O Carboxylation O Halogenation O Hydrohalogenationarrow_forwardHow would you prepare deuterated diphenylmethanol, (C,H5)2 CDOH?arrow_forwardA chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.arrow_forward
- Alkyl sulfonates undergo the same type of substitution reactions as alkyl halides and can also be prepared from alcohols. What advantage does the preparation of an alkyl sulfonate from an alcohol have over the preparation of an alkyl halide from an alcohol?arrow_forwardDissolving formaldehyde in water causes the solution to contain gem-diol CH2 (OH)2.
