f. Consider the following reactions. For each reaction (a) identify the kind of (organic) product formed (e.g. ester, acetal, etc), (b) count the chiral carbons in each reactant and the chiral carbons in the product (you needn’t draw the product structure, just indicate the kind of product and how many chiral carbons it has) and (c) compare the number of chiral centers in the reactants with the number in the product – have any new chiral centers been formed by the reaction? Any chiral centers destroyed? (4 points, each)
a. Butanone and excess 2-pentanol in the presence of acid and heat
b. Butanoic acid and 3-heptanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid
c. The salt of propanoic acid and ethylamine upon heating
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
