Chapter 19.SE, Problem 51MP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mechanism for the following reaction of an α,β- unsaturated ester is to be proposed.

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 19.SE, Problem 51MP

Concept introduction:

The steps involved in the conversion are i) Nucleophilic attack of the amine on the carbon on the α,β- unsaturated ester ii) Proton abstraction from the acid iii) A proton exchange from N to O iv) Another nucleophilic attack of N on the carbonyl carbon v)Another proton exchange from N to O vi) Loss of methanol and a proton.

To propose:

A mechanism for the reaction of an α,β- unsaturated ester with methylamine.

The mechanism for acidic hydrolysis of a nitrile resembles the basic hydrolysis, exceptthat the nitrile is first protonated, activating it toward attack by a weak nucleophile (water).Under acidic conditions, the proton transfer (tautomerism) involves protonation on nitrogen followed by deprotonation on oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzedhydrolysis of benzonitrile to benzamide.
5-Androstene-3,17-dione is isomerized to 4-androstene-3,17-dione by hydroxide ion. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
Benzene + nitration, followed by bromination, then reduction of the nitro group to an amine, followed by diazonization, addition of copper I cyanide to the reaction and the product is O benzoyl nitrile O ortho-bromoaniline O para-bromo-nitrobenzene O 3,5-dibromnobenzonitrile O para-bromobenzyl bromide
