Which of the following compounds decarboxylates when heated?

Short Answer

Expert verified

On heating, carboxylic acid releases carbon dioxide gas. After releasing carbon dioxide, the remaining product should be stable.[l1]

Compound C is a 尾 ketone. Hence, the remaining electron can be delocalized by the keto group as shown below.

[l1]Nothing about delocalization of electrons mentioned here.

Step by step solution

01

Delocalization of electrons in (c)

On heating, carboxylic acid releases carbon dioxide gas. After releasing carbon dioxide, the remaining product should be stable.[l1]

Compound C is a 尾 ketone. Hence, the remaining electron can be delocalized by the keto group as shown below.

[l1]Nothing about delocalization of electrons mentioned here.

02

A and B do not have β carboxylic group

Compounds A and B don't decarboxylate on heating because they don't have 尾carboxylic group to stabilize the negative charge on the ring by the loss of carbon dioxide.

What product is obtained from the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone?

Propose a mechanism for the formation of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, using hydroxide ion as the catalyst.

Problem: starting with bromocyclohexane, how can each of the following compounds be prepared?

The Reformatsky reaction is an addition reaction in which an organozinc reagent is used instead of a Grignard reagent to add to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. Because the organozinc reagent is less reactive than a Grignard reagent, a nucleophilic addition to the ester group does not occur. The organozinc reagent is prepared by treating an 脽-bromo ester with zinc.

Describe how each of the following compounds can be prepared, using a Reformatsky reaction:

A ketone undergoes acid-catalyzed bromination, acid-catalyzed chlorination, racemization, and acid-catalyzed deuterium exchange at the 伪-carbon. All of these reactions have similar rate constants. What does this tell you about the mechanisms of these reactions?
