Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of 3,5-dimethyl pyrazole from hydrazine and 2,4-pentanedione. Look carefully to see what has happened to each carbonyl carbon in going from starting material to product.
The SN2 reaction of (dibromomethyl)benzene, C6H5CHBr2, withNaOH yields benzaldehyde rather than (dihydroxymethyl)benzene,C6H5CH(OH)2. Explain.
It is not uncommon for organic chemists to prepare acetals by an exchange-type process known as transacetalization. Predict the product(s) and show the mechanism for the transacetalization reactions below.
