Using curved arrows, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction of benzene with Cl₂ in the presence of AlBr. Begin with the Lewis acid-base reaction to form an electrophile. Then, continue with the reaction between the Lewis acid-base complex and benzene. You may need to re-draw structures to show certain bonds.

(10pts) Compound A, C10H16, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, CioH2o. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid (CHCOOH). The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C8H14O2. Write reactions, and draw the correct structures for A-C, explain your answer in detail.

. A colorless liquid, C4H6O, having a boiling point of 97-98°C was found to be soluble in water and also in ether. It gave a negative test for the presence of halogens, sulfur, and nitrogen. It did however, give a positive test to 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent. It gave a negative result when treated with ceric nitrate solution and also Tollen’s reagent. Treatment with ozone followed by hydrolysis in the presence of zinc gave formaldehyde as one of the products. What is the structure and name of the colorless liquid?

The mechanism of the Fischer esterification was controversial until 1938, when IrvingRoberts and Harold Urey of Columbia University used isotopic labeling to follow thealcohol oxygen atom through the reaction. A catalytic amount of sulfuric acid was addedto a mixture of 1 mole of acetic acid and 1 mole of special methanol containing the heavy18O isotope of oxygen. After a short period, the acid was neutralized to stop the reaction,and the components of the mixture were separated.H2SO4OCH3 C O H CH3 O H CH3 C O CH3 H2OO18 + +(a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction.(b) Follow the labeled 18O atom through your mechanism, and show where it is found inthe products.(c) The 18O isotope is not radioactive.
