ENOLS AND ENOLATES SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS 18.1(b) There are no a-hydrogen- atoms in2,2-dimethylpropa, because the a-carbon- atom bears three methyl groups

SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS 14.1 () Magnesium bears a cyclohexyl substituent and a chlorine. Chlorine is named as an anion. The compound is cyclohexylmagnesium chloride. 14.2 (b) The alkyl bromide precursor to sec-butyllithiur must be sec-butyl bromide

10.1 As noted in the sample solution to part(a), a pair of electrons is moved from the double bond toward the positively charged carbon

SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS 2.1 A carbonyl group is=. Of the two carbonyl functions in prostaglandin E one belongs to the ketone family, the other to the carboxylic acids. Ketone OH Carboxylic acid functional group

ACYL SUBSTITUTION his chapter differs from preceding ones in that it deals with several related classes of compounds rather than just one. Included are 1. Acyl chlorides, RCCI 2. Carboxylic acid anhydrides, RCOCR 3. Esters of carboxylic acids, RCOR'99

ADDITION TO THE CARBONYL GROUP Idehydes and ketones contain an acyl group RC-bonded either to hydrogen or to another carbon

the preceding chapter the special stability of benzene was described, along with reac- tions in which an aromatic ring was present as a substituent. In the present chapter we move from considering the aromatic ring as a substituent to studying it as a functional
