Organicchemistry Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hello, Could anybody help me solving this synthesis? Have to predict a pathway for the conversion of benzene to N-(2,4-diethylphenyl)cyclohexanimine including the necessary organic and inorganic compounds. I am thinking about using H2SO4 and HNO3 in the first step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You will need do show a bit more of an attempt here for people to help you. Have you tried performing any retrosynthetic analysis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organicchemistry Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 1) H2SO4 and HNO3 2) SnCl2 and H3O+ 3) 2xCl and AlCl3 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 What about the ethyl groups? And can I ask what the purpose of the aromatic chlorination is? Do you think you would get dichlorination in that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organicchemistry Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 In step 3, I meant) 2x and AlCl3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Much better. That all seems reasonable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
