(b) Method (3) should give a higher yield of F than method (4). Since the hydroxide ion is a strong base and since the alkyl halide is secondary, method (4) is likely to be accompanied by considerable elimination. Method (3), on the other hand, employs a weaker base, acetate ion, in the SN 2 step and is less likely to be complicated by elimination. Hydrolysis of the ester E that results should also proceed in high yield. 17.12 (a) Steric hindrance presented by the di-ortho methyl groups of methyl mesitoate prevents formation of the tetrahedral intermediate that must accompany attack at the acyl carbon. (b) Carry out hydrolysis with labeled 18 OH in labeled H2 18 O. The label should appear in the methanol.

17.26 In ethyl amine, the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is readily available to accept a proton from hydrochloric acid and form the salt. In the case of the amide the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is not as able to accept a proton from hydrochloric acid and form the salt. The reason for this lack of salt formation is the presence of the adjacent carbonyl group in the amide. With the carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen atom, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is delocalized into the carbonyl group. This delocalization makes the electrons less available to serve as a proton acceptor, hence the lack of any appreciable salt formation upon treatment of the amide with HCl.

17.34 Performing iodolactonization reactions under slightly basic conditions generates the carboxylate anion. This carboxylate anion serves as the nucleophile in the attack on the cyclic iodonium ion intermediate, to yield the lactone product. Having the carboxylate anion present when the cyclic iodonium ion is formed helps facilitate the reaction.

17.47 That compound X does not dissolve in aqueous sodium bicarbonate indicates that X is not a carboxylic acid. That X has an IR absorption peak at 1740 cm1 indicates the presence of a carbonyl group, probably that of an ester (Figure 17.2). That the molecular formula of X (C7 H12 O4 ) contains four oxygen atoms suggests that X is a diester. The 13 C spectrum shows only four signals indicating a high degree of symmetry for X. The single signal at 166.7 is that of an ester carbonyl carbon, indicating that both ester groups of X are equivalent. Putting these observations together with the information gathered from DEPT 13 C spectra and the molecular formula leads us to the conclusion that X is diethyl malonate. The assignments are

17.48 The very low hydrogen content of the molecular formula of Y (C8 H4 O3 ) indicates that Y is highly unsaturated. That Y dissolves slowly in warm aqueous NaHCO3 suggests that Y is a carboxylic acid anhydride that hydrolyzes and dissolves because it forms a carboxylate salt:

The infrared absorption peaks at 1779 and 1854 cm1 are consistent with those of an aromatic carboxylic anhydride (Figure 17.2). That only four signals appear in the 13 C spectrum of Y indicates a high degree of symmetry for Y. Three of the signals occur in the aromatic region ( 120 - 140) and one signal is downeld ( 162)
