3) Any compound or ion with at least one lone pair can be considered a base and/or a nucleophile. The relative basicity and nucleophilicity of the species is one of the most important factors that determine the mechanism of a reaction on sp³-carbon atoms. Please show an example of a) a reagent that is a strong nucleophile and a strong base, b) a reagent that is a weak nucleophile and a strong base, c) a reagent that is a strong nucleophile and a weak base, d) a reagent that is a weak nucleophile and a weak base.

Fill the blank space. Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.

Organometallic reagents and alkoxides are strong bases as well as being good nucleophiles. Given the pKa values below, which reagent is the stronger base, nBuLi (CH3CH2CH2CH2LI) or the tert-butoxide anion ((CH3)3CO‒)? Explain your choice clearly in terms of structure andbonding. (Comparing the pKa values is not an explanation.) (CH3)3COH pka= 16.54CH3CH2CH2CH3 pka= 50
3. Propose a reasonable mechanism for the reaction. Remember to: 1) Draw out the Lewis structure 2) Use arrows to indicate electron flow, clearly identifying the bond making and bond breaking steps. 3) Propose reasonable intermediates for the reaction conditions. Hint: One of the intermediates is a "dienol" which leads to an interesting tautomerization. For practice include the tautomerization in your mechanism. (Ph= phenyl = C6Hs) Ph 4. a. b. C. d.

Show the mechanism for the forward acid-base reactions only. In other words, use arrow formalism to track electrons. Acid-base mechanisms typically require two arrows, flowing in the same direction. Refer to your notes for proper arrow direction and flow, if necessary. It should be obvious which is the acid and which is the base. 8. H. CH3ОН + но CH;0 н Н н `N' Н. Н н Он Н

In the presence of excess base and excess halogen, a methyl ketone is converted to a carboxylate ion. The reaction is known as the haloform reaction because one of the products is haloform (chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform). Before spectroscopy became a routine analytical tool, the haloform reaction served as a test for methyl ketones: the formation of iodoform, a bright yellow compound, signaled that a methyl ketone was present. Why do only methyl ketones form a haloform?
