Chapter 11: Q11-76E (page 350)

The reaction of 1-chlorooctane with CH3CO2 2 to give octyl acetate is greatly accelerated by adding a small quantity of iodide ion. Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

Formation of the desired product

Step by step solution

01

Substitution reaction

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are one of the most common and versatile reaction types in organic chemistry because in this each step involves the substitution of one nucleophile with another nucleophile.

02

Explanation

The reaction will be accelerated by adding an iodide ion because the iodide ion is a good nucleophile when compared to the acetate ion. So, it will react first and the formed iodo compound can be attacked by the acetate ion because the iodide ion is a good leaving group.

The reaction is represented as:

Question: (R)-2-Bromooctane undergoes racemization to give (卤)-2-bromooctane when treated with NaBr in dimethyl sulfoxide. Explain.

Compound X is optically inactive and has the formulaC16H16Br2. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y,C16H14. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment, Z, is an aldehyde with formulaC7H6O. The other fragment is glyoxal,(CHO)2. Write the reactions involved, and suggest structures for X, Y, and Z. What is the stereochemistry of X?
