Chapter 7: PROBLEM 7.79 (page 295)

Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction sequence.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A ketone is represented by the functional group -CO-. The carbonyl carbon is an electrophilic center of the ketone where the nucleophile can attack.

Step by step solution

01

Ketone

A ketone is represented by the functional group -CO-. The carbonyl carbon is an electrophilic center of the ketone where the nucleophile can attack.

02

Chemical properties of ketone

The ketone also contains acidic hydrogen adjacent to the carbonyl carbon. Therefore, a base can abstract and form the carbanion.

03

Explanation

In the given reaction, the acidic hydrogen of hexanone is abstracted by the given base NaH. Therefore, the carbanion delocalizes its electrons. The two resonating structures give the two products.

The major product is formed by the pi donation of an electron to the methylbromide.

The minor product is formed by the oxide donation of electrons to the methylbromide.

Question: Uridine monophosphate (UMP) is one of the four nucleotides that compose RNA, the nucleic acid that translates the genetic information of DNA into proteins needed by cells for proper function and development. A key step in the synthesis of UMP is the reaction of A with B to form C, which is then converted to UMP in one step. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this SN1 reaction.

Question: Draw the product of nucleophilic substitution with each neutral nucleophile. When the initial substitution product can lose a proton to form a neutral product, draw the product after proton transfer.
