Answer:
The given statement- Aldehydes and ketones are converted into alkenes by means of a direct nucleophilic addition called the Wittig reaction, is<u> True.</u>
Explanation:
The Wittig reaction converts aldehydes and ketones into alkenes through a simple nucleophilic addition. A triphenylphosphorine ylide, also known as a phosphorane, reacts with an aldehyde/ketone to produce an oxaphosphetane, a four-membered cyclic intermediate. Instead of being isolated, the oxaphosphetane decomposes spontaneously to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene.
In an SN2 reaction, triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, reacts with a primary alkyl halide, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a solid base, such as butyllithium, to form the ylide. In the product alkene, the carbonyl carbon and the carbon initially bound to the halogen become two carbons with a double bond.
The Wittig reaction's true worth lies in its ability to produce an alkene with a predictable structure, as the C=C bond forms exactly where the C=O bond did in the reactant, with no isomers (other than E/Z isomers) forming.
<u>Hence , the correct option is (A) True.</u>
Answer:
The answer to your question is 12
Explanation:
Data
Number of electrons in Phosphorus 3+ ion
Process
1.- The sign of the number after the name indicates if the element has lost or gained electrons.
If the sign is positive the element has lost electrons
If the sign is negative the element has gained electrons.
2.- Phosphorus atomic number is 15, then the number of electrons in Phosphorus 3+ will be 12, in this example, Phosphorus lost 3 electrons.
