Question

Evaluate the following synthetic procedures: 1. Reaction of Dialkyl cadmium with Acyl chloride. 2. Rosenmund reduction. 3. Stephen's reaction. 4. Kucherov's hydration of ethyne ($HC\equiv CH$). 5. Wacker process on propene. How many of these 5 specific processes are designed to yield a ketone as the major organic product?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 2. 1. Dialkyl cadmium + acyl chloride Ketone. 2. Rosenmund Aldehyde. 3. Stephen's Aldehyde. 4. Hydration of ethyne Acetaldehyde (an aldehyde). 5. Wacker process on propene (or any alkene other than ethene) Ketone (Acetone). Thus, exactly 2 processes yield ketones.
