Heterocyclic compounds plays an important role in our daily life. They are mainly used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products to name a few. 3. It is required to introduce a halogen group to a five membered ring, thiophene. Discuss the reaction mechanism involved in the reaction by selecting a suitable halogen group and analyze why a particular substituted product obtained after the reaction is predominant over the other possible product(s) with the help of reactions.

3. Explain in terms of bonding why ethene mostly undergoes electrophilic addition reactions. Draw the mechanism for the reaction of but-1-ene and hydrogen bromide. Show, via the mechanisms that are two different possible isomers – explain which one is formed preferentially and why this occurs.
How is the mechanism for oxymercuration/demercuration reactions of alkenes understood? How are the (Markovnikov) products predicted and what reagents would you need to use to incorporate this reaction into a multistep synthesis strategy. Finally, what makes this a potentially more useful way to synthesize alcohols from alkenes than simple acid hydration?

Subject: Organic Chemistry Topic: Synthesis of Aspirin Question: Show the reaction scheme and mechanism in the synthesis of aspirin.
Checking my answer, there was difference with solution. (organic chemistry smith 5th ed 2.47P (d)) Solution said 'the acid base reaction between pentyne and ammonia is product way because pka of pentyne is 25, ammonia is 38 so pentyne will be deprotanted by ammonia.' but I think (and as written in the book) NH4+ is stronger acid than pentyne and acid-base reaction works when reactant is stronger acid than product conjugate acid. It isn't match that pentyne makes NH4+. who is incorrect?

When we have discussed the enol-keto tautomerization of ketones in class, the isomerization has been facililated by an acid or base catalyst, with most ketones heavily favoring the carbonyl isomer at equilibrium. However, samples of the ketone below in its pure form (with no acid, base or water present) contain nearly 10% of the enol form! OH -90% -10% From this data, we can infer that the enol isomer of this ketone is particularly stable. Explain the stability of this enol, using terms and ideas that we have discussed in this unit.
