Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To propose a mechanism for the given reactions.
Concept introduction:
Chemoselectivity is referred to the preferential selection of a specific functional group in the presence of the other
If a compound contains more than one carbonyl group the order of selectivity of the functional group for the reaction will be the same as the order of reactivity carbonyl group. The order of reactivity of carbonyl group is:
(b)
Interpretation:
To propose a mechanism for the given reactions.
Concept introduction:
Chemoselectivity is referred to the preferential selection of a specific functional group in the presence of the other functional groups during a reaction. If a molecule has more than one functional group that can undergo a reaction The reaction will take place specifically on a reactive functional group.
If a compound contains more than one carbonyl group the order of selectivity of the functional group for the reaction will be the same as the order of reactivity carbonyl group. The order of reactivity of carbonyl group is:

- Aldehydes and ketones react with thiols to yield thioacetals just as they react with alcohols to yield acetals. Predict the product of the following reaction, and propose a mechanism:arrow_forwardIsolated from marine algae, prelaureatin is thought to be biosynthesized from laurediol by the following route. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forwardThe Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction involves reduction of a ketone by treatment with an excess of aluminum triisopropoxide, [(CH3)2CHO]3Al. The mechanism of the process is closely related to the Cannizzaro reaction in that a hydride ion acts as a leaving group. Propose a mechanism.arrow_forward
