Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.
See attached figure for the structure.
Vanillin have 3 functional groups:
1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen
2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring
3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons
Now for the hybridization we have:
The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.
The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.
Answer:
The three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene is as follows.
<u>Step -1:</u> Formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkanes.
<u>Step -2:</u> Formation terminal alkyne to nonterminal alkynes.
<u>Step -3:</u> Formation of trans-pent - 2-pent-ene by reduction.
Explanation:
Synthesis of trans-pent-2-yne from ethyne takes place is mainly a three step synthesis which involves formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkane. Second step involves the further alkylation of terminal alkynes to higher order nonterminal alkynes and the third step involves the formation of trans-2-ene by dissolving reduction method.
The chemical reaction of each step of chemical reactions is as follows.
