Organic Chemistry Bonding Properties
Not what you're looking for?
I need some help with these three questions on organic chemistry bonding:
13. Why it is important that any aldehyde used in Witting reaction be free of carboxylic acid impurities?
14. Explain why the C=C stretching mode gives rise to a rather weak IR band in 1-methylcyclohexane, while in its isomer, methylenecyclohexene, the band is of medium to strong intensity.
15. Predict the major organic product formed in the following reaction: CH3CHzNOz + CHzO ->

13. Why it is important that any aldehyde used in Witting reaction be free of carboxylic acid impurities?
In a wittig reaction, if carboxylic impurities are present they lead to an unwanted side reaction ----namely the Reformatsky reaction, which reduces the yield of the desired ...
