Chapter 9.6, Problem 9.4P
Interpretation Introduction
To determine: How to use the acidity of
Interpretation: The use of acidity of
Concept introduction: Distillation is a process used to separate the liquids from a mixture. It works, if boiling points of all liquids in a mixture are different. The low boiling point liquid would evaporate easily as compared to liquids that have high boiling points, if boiling points of two liquids are the same, then liquids are separated by converting one liquid into non-volatile form.

Illustrate the resonance effect of the methoxy group -OCH3, on the structure of the benzene ring. Do this by writing all the possible resonance forms for methoxybenzene, including the hybrid.
Based on your structures, explain how the presence of the -OCH3 group affects: (i) the reactivity of the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack; (ii) the orientation or point of attack of an incoming electrophilic reagent on the benzene ring.
Give a detailed reaction mechanism for the reaction expected to occur when 2-bromo-2-methylpentane is heated with sodium methoxide. Draw clear structural formulas of all relevant species and use curved arrows to represent electron flow. Discuss the stability of the final compound
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?

- Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide.

Using Br2 under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable.
