Q11. - Organic Chemistry

Question

Question: Draw the products of each reaction.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Answers

 

The products formed are shown below.

Step 1: Halogenation

Halogenation is carried out by treating a carbonyl compound that can form enolates followed by an attack with a halogen in the presence of an acid.

Step 2: Mechanism involved in the halogenation in acids

The first step involved is protonation. The second step is the formation of an enolate, followed by the third step that is the attack of an electrophile in the presence of an acid. The last step is deprotonation.
