Accepted Answer

Welcome back everyone in states video arrogance to solve the following problem. Hydro operation oxidation of internal AL kinds produces key zones. While the same reaction for terminal al kinds produces Aldo hides, draw the final products when one cycle Hexcel one, Pro Pine is subjected to hydro abrasion oxidation and described by hydro abrasion oxidation of an un symmetrical internal AL kind results in a mixture of products. We may start this problem by just drawing the original material that we have. It says one cycle Hexcel one pro pine. We may draw a six member ring indicating cyclo Hexcel as a functional group right bonded to one pro pine. That's what it says. So position number one has a cycle Hexcel Supposition as well as a triple bond because it has one pro pine. So we're going to draw a triple bond at that position. And because the parent is pro pine, we must have a total of three carbon atoms. So that's 12 and we need one more to have our internal alkaline. Right? So this is an internal AL kind. This is what we can conclude by simply looking at the structure because there are two substations bond. This is a triple bond from each side. This means that the given structure is an internal AL kind as opposed to a terminal one. The problem suggests that we are treating our AL kind with a set of regions corresponding to a hydro abrasion oxidation reaction essentially. That set of regions Would be # one, Boring In the presence of Tetra hydro Furin as our solvent and number two hydrogen peroxide hydroxide. Recall that whenever we are using hydro abrasion oxidation. This set of regions must follow the ante Markovic of regional chemistry. We can say M R. For simplicity, right? Because we're frequently using that term ante Markovic of regional chemistry means that whenever we're using this set of regions keep in mind that we're adding two substations across a pi bond, one of them is a hydrogen atom and another one is an alcohol group. And the ante Markovic of radio chemistry tells us that hydrogen must be added to a more substituted position and a wage must be added to a less substituted position. Right? Basically, that's the opposite to the more comical rule. Now, if we look at this elk in and if we identify our pi bond, keep in mind that we're adding these two. Suppositions across a pi bond, one of our pi bonds is over here and we're only considering one of them, right? Because the two carbon atoms are equally substituted, essentially, because that's an internal al Qaeda, right? We have two possibilities for that edition ante Markovic of rule is not helpful for us because they're equally substituted, meaning we will have two possibilities possibility. Number one will be to add hydrogen at position one and the alcohol group at position two. Now, the other way would be to add alcohol to position one and hydrant position one. To my apologies. Once again, this is because the two positions are equally substituted, meaning we have two possibilities. So let's draw our two products formed. If we think about the first product adding hydrogen to carbon number one and alcohol to carbon number two, we may simply draw our sixth member growing. Now there will be just a double bond present because one of the pi bonds has been used for that edition. So we can simply draw three carbon atoms bond it'd 123. The position of the double bond starts at carbon number one. And now we understand that carbon number one has hydrogen carbon number two has alcohol. Now the other possibility said that alcohol to position number one. So we can say that the other product that we are forming is 123, right? The double bond is the exact same position. It's just that we're adding our alcohol to position number one now. So it's over here. These two, If you think about them are Ennals because they have a double bond adjacent to the alcohol group. And because Ennals are unstable, they actually favored the formation of corresponding ketones are al to hide. So we may say that in each, in each case the equilibrium will shift towards the formation of a more stable keto form. So this is called keto in all taught to Marot as. Um and if we draw those corresponding ketones, we may essentially say that, okay, what happens is that we may just expand those oxygen hydrogen bonds and we will just have that proton transfer. This is what happens. The lone parent oxygen would prefer forming that carbon carbon carbon oxygen bond. Right essentially we will form a carbon group at that position. But because we're forming that bond over here, we must break the pi bond. The pi bond will get protein ated and then the original oxygen, hydrogen bonding electrons will be placed in the form of a lone parent oxygen. And this is exactly what we are observing here. The lone parent oxygen will form a carbon ill group, the double bond will get protein ated and then these bonding electrons will form a lone parent oxygen. So we get two different key tones. We may just draw these products because the problem asks us to draw the final products. If we think about the first one, we once again through our 6th member dring than three carbon atoms and we already understand that position. Number two will now have a carbon real group. So that's our key tone, number one right now, if you think about the second structure, there will be another key tone formed three carbon atoms over here. But the position of the carbon group is at carbon number one. So these are our final products legislating them because this is one of our goals. We got our two products. And the question is basically asking us describe why hydro operation oxidation of an un symmetrical internal AL kind results in a mixture of products. Basically, if you look at this internal AL kind, the two positions are equally substituted and that's it. So the reason, Yes, I'm symmetrical internal AL kinds and that's exactly what we have here. An internal al Qaeda is not symmetrical because the two suppositions are not the same. Right? They always produce a mixture off to products. That's because the T carbon atoms within the triple bond are equally substituted. In other words, that's really true, Right? We said the reaction follows the anti narcotic of rule, but is that really important? According to the rule, there is addition of hydrogen to that more substituted position, addition of alcohol to a less substituted position. But when you listen to that statement, you will essentially realize, okay, if it's if it's an internal Alle kinder, the two positions are equally substituted. So there is no more or less right? We have two possibilities because they are equally substituted. And that's basically the reason for this problem. Now, we may simply conclude that the correct answer choice to this multiple choice question is B However, if you have any questions, don't have states, leave your comment down below in the comment section and thank you for watching
