In the synthesis of 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-a,ß-succinic anhydride, why was the reaction kept in anhydrous environment? Water reacts with the anthracene to form a hydroxylated product Water reacts with the anthracene to produce a product with electron withdrawing group. Water reacts with the maleic anhydride, producing a dienophile with electron donating group. Water may hydrolyze the anhydride, which makes the dienophile less reactive

nitriles can be obtained by the reaction of sodium cyanide with an alkyl halide. starting from hexyl bromide, hexyl cyanide is obtained. If this reaction is carried out in methanol, the reaction is completed after 20 hours of heating, whereas only 20 minutes are required if the reaction is carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide propose an explanation for the effect of the solvent on the observed reactivity, why could the time taken be longer

Several sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation.

An inexperienced graduate student treated dec-5-ene with borane in THF, placed the flask in a refrigerator, and left for aparty. When he returned from the party, he discovered that the refrigerator was broken and that it had gotten quite warminside. Although all the THF had evaporated from the flask, he treated the residue with basic hydrogen peroxide. Tohis surprise, he recovered a fair yield of decan-1-ol. Use a mechanism to show how this reaction might have occurred.(Hint: The addition of BH3 is reversible.)*8
