This is the answer to chapter 22, problem number 38 from the smith organic chemistry textbook.
00:09
This problem is asking us to look at two molecules and to name each of them and then predict the products of several different reactions with each of them.
00:23
So a, this is an ester of pivalic acid, is that.
00:32
The common name for a t -butyl group attached to a carboxylic acid.
00:40
So this is the isobutal ester of that acid.
00:44
So it's isobutal pivalate.
00:49
And so when we treat an ester with acid, we get the carboxylic acid and the alcohol.
01:04
So here is our carboxylic acid, and here is our alcohol.
01:32
Similarly, when we treat it with base, we also hydrolyize the ester, but because it's basic conditions, we don't get the carboxylic acid.
01:44
We get the carboxylate ion.
01:46
So here is our carboxylate ion.
01:55
So a negative charge on that oxygen.
01:59
And we would get the same alcohol as we did from the acid hydrolysis of the ester.
02:11
So there we go.
02:13
So i didn't see grinjord additions to esters actually covered in the chapter that these questions.
02:24
Are at the end of, but with a greenyard and an ester, what you actually get is a double addition to the ester.
02:40
So we would end up with a tertiary alcohol.
02:47
So alcohol here.
02:52
And then the greenyard, as i said, is going to add twice.
02:55
So one, two, three, and then also one, two, three.
03:04
And we would get our same alcohol that we've seen.
03:17
So there's that.
03:19
And then lithium aluminum hydride is going to also split this ester, and we're going to get two alcohols of our products here.
03:33
So we'll get this alcohol from the left half of the ester.
03:44
And then we'll get once again this same alcohol that we've had for the first three reactions as well.
03:55
So that alcohol.
04:01
Okay...
