Show the steps necessary to transform acid on left to compound on right... Make sure you use SOCl3..................
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH ----------> (CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OCH2CH=CH2
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH-----------> (CH3)3CHC(=O)N(CH2CH3)2
To transform the acid on the left to the compound on the right using SOCl3, the following steps should be followed:
Step 1: Convert the acid to an acid chloride
Add thionyl chloride (SOCl3) to the acid ((CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH) in a suitable reaction vessel. This reaction is known as the acid chloride formation. Thionyl chloride reacts with the carboxylic acid to form an acid chloride.
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH + SOCl3 → (CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl + SO2 + HCl
Step 2: Convert the acid chloride to an ester
Next, react the acid chloride ((CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl) with the desired alcohol (CH2CH=CH2) to form an ester. This reaction is known as an esterification.
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl + CH2CH=CH2 → (CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OCH2CH=CH2 + HCl
Step 3: Convert the acid to an amide
If the desired compound is the second one provided ((CH3)3CHC(=O)N(CH2CH3)2), we need to follow a slightly different pathway.
First, convert the acid ((CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH) to its corresponding acid chloride, as explained in Step 1.
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)OH + SOCl3 → (CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl + SO2 + HCl
Step 4: Convert the acid chloride to an amide
Then, react the acid chloride ((CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl) with the desired amine (N(CH2CH3)2) to form an amide. This reaction is known as an amide formation.
(CH3)3CCH2C(=O)Cl + N(CH2CH3)2 → (CH3)3CHC(=O)N(CH2CH3)2 + HCl
By following the appropriate steps, you can transform the acid on the left to the desired compound on the right using SOCl3.
