Concept introduction:
A molecule that is phosphorus-stabilized carbanion is an ylide. This molecule does not have overall charge, but is consist of negatively charged carbon atom bonded to a positively charged heteroatom. Phosphorus ylides are produced from alkyl halides and triphenylphosphine. The product that is prepared is an alkyl triphenylphosphonium salt.
In the Witting reaction, the carbonyl group of a ketone or aldehyde get converted in to new carbon-carbon double bond by the reaction with phosphorus ylide.

- Give all the reagents, in order, that lead to forming the product.arrow_forwardBy means of series of equations, show how each of the following synthesis can be carried out. You may use any other reagents and more than one step will be necessary. a. cis-1,2-cyclopentanediol from cyclopentanol b. 0 from cyclohexyl bromide c. cvclopentvl methanol from cyclopentanol e. CH;CH,CH from n-propyl bromide OHarrow_forwardChoose the best reagents to complete the reaction shown below.arrow_forward
- Ethers, Epoxides and Thiols Proslem: Cleavage of cyclopentyl ethyl ether by HBr. ydroiodic acid (HI) reacts with ethers the same way HBr does. Aqueous iodide is a stronger nucleophile than aqueous bromide, and iodide reacts at a faster rate. We can rank the hydrohalic acids in order of their reactivity toward the cleavage of ethers: HI > HBr HCIarrow_forwardShow reasonable mechanisms for the following reaction.arrow_forwardC. Draw the structure for the product formed in each of step of the following synthetic sequences. 1. C NH₂ SOCI₂ or P₂O5 or POCI3 (dehydration) 1.CH3MgBr 2.H3O+ 1. NaOH, 12 2. H3O+ + yellow precipitatearrow_forward
- Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the enone below.arrow_forward2: Indicate the product molecules formed in the following multistep reaction sequence. Draw the product after each reaction. Do not draw any mechanisms or reaction intermediates. 1. pyridinium dichromate in dichloromethane 2. ethylmagnesium bromide (excess). then acid quench он 3. tosyl chloride & triethyl amine 4. phenol that was pretreated with sodium hydroxidearrow_forwardProvide the final product and mechanism for the following reactionsarrow_forward
- 3. What are the main products of reaction of the following with phenyl magnesium bromide followed by a regular acid workup? i. ii. Methyl n-butyl ketone ii. Ethylene oxide Give the possible mechanism of reaction of propyl magnesium bromide with ethylene oxidearrow_forwarda. Show how the enamine below can be synthesized. Then draw the resonance structure(s) for the enamine.arrow_forwardNucleophilic aromatic substitution involves the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate called a Meisenheimer complex as the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon carrying the eventual leaving group; electron-withdrawing groups ortho and/or para to the site of attack help to stabilize this structure via resonance. For the reaction below, draw the structure of the stabilized reaction intermediate in the box below. CI F3C CF3 NO₂ F3C N CF3 NO₂ • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Draw the Meisenheimer complex with a formal charge of 0 on the nucleophilic atom. If more than one resonance structure is possible, only draw the most important one.arrow_forward
