8a) Friedal Crafts acylation - electrophilic substituion reaction.

so you know to get electrophile reaction is:

RCOCL + ALCL3 --) RCO3+ + ALCL4-

And so one of the answers is alcl3

and now just look at product given in question to work out what the other is..

as it is benzene--c=0--ch2ch3 thats product given so from that you know ch3ch2c=0cl must have been added.

so overalll reaction to get electrophile:

ch3ch2c=0cl + alcl3 -) ch3ch2c0+ + alcl4-

ch3ch2c0+ is electrophile its used in electrophile substitution which is next q..

4b im not sure need to revise that again.

3e)

Its primary amine so its gonna be

R-N-H2

And because its carbon nmr focus on carbons.

There are 3 peaks so 3 different carbons in 3 different environments.

So theres ch2 - thats 1 environment

c conected to 2 ch3's is another environment as its all same environment as you cant tell which is which so same enviroment.

and other ch3 is 3rd carbon different enviroment so thats 3rd peak...

so:

NH2--CH2--C(CH3)2--CH3


3bii)

Tertiary amines are like this:

N-R3 connected to 3 r groups.

Theres a doublet so yy=ou know because of n+1 rule there has to be a carbon in there connected to only 1 H.

Also N has to be connected to 3 r groups but if its connected to only 1 carbon then no adjacent hydrogen for that particular carbon so no peak.

So its:

CH3-N-CH3 NO PEAKS GIVEN FROM THIS

AND THEN OTHER PART CONNECTED TO N IS :

CH3-CH-CH3

CH GIVES THE DOUBLET, 3 SETS OF HYDROGENS GIVE 3 PEAKS.

Thanks so much everyone.
And to answer your qs ^^^ I think if you search around you'll find papers all the way back from 2003 but they're a slightly different syllabus/spec
