Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The complete Lewis structure for sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
Interpretation: The complete Lewis structure for sodium triacetoxyborohydride is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The Lewis structure shows the connectivity between atoms by identifying the lone pairs of electrons in a compound. Lewis structures are also called Lewis dot structures. The valence electrons around an atom are shown by dots. Bonds between atoms are shown by lines and the lone pair of electrons is shown by a pair of dots.
(b)
To determine: The mechanism for the reduction of an aldehyde by sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
Interpretation: The mechanism for the reduction of an aldehyde by sodium triacetoxyborohydride is to be proposed.
Concept introduction: Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is a mild reducing agent that reduces

R2 R2 HC Draw the structure of the major reaction product when the following compound reacts with sodium acetylide, assuming that the reaction takes preferentially from the Re face of the carbonyl group. Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.arrow_forward
- 1. CN Br 2. LIAIH4 3. H₂O σ NH2 Primary amines can be prepared from nitriles by reduction with LiAlH4. The two-step sequence involves SN2 displacement of halide ion by cyanide ion followed by reduction, and yields a primary amine with one more carbon than was present in the alkyl halide.

There are two methods to convert an alkyl halide into a carboxylic acid containing one additional carbon atom: R-X R-X NaCN CH3CI Mg R-CN Br R-MgX H3O+ 1) CO₂ 2) H3O+ (CH3)3CCI i Depending on the structure of the alkyl halide, one or both of these methods may be used. For each alkyl halide shown, write out a stepwise mechanism that converts it to a carboxylic acid. If both methods work, draw both routes. If one method cannot be used, state why it cannot.
