Concept introduction:
The dehydration of alcohols to alkenes in the presence of POCl3 follows E2 mechanism. The –OH group is converted into a better leaving group dichlorophosphate, –OPOCl2, when treated with POCl3. Pyridine used as solvent is also a base and it removes a proton arranged anti to the leaving group from the β carbon (requirement for E2 mechanism). The removal of the proton and –OPOCl2 occurs simultaneously in a single step to yield the alkene as the product.

Write the IUPAC name for each product.arrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forward
