Reactive Rates of Bromination of Alkyl-Substituted Alkenes

Here is my question. I am working through this and some other problems, and want to compare what I do against what someone who knows a lot more than me on this subject, does. Please don't do this problem if you are: 1. Planning on copying and pasting something from a website (yes, I've had people do that to me here) tha ...continues

In the haloform reaction, once the first alpha-hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom, each successive hydrogen is more easily substituted until the trihalo species is obtained. Explain

Eplain the fact that even though dibenzoylmethane (C6H5COCH2COC6H5) is not a methyl ketone, it gives a positive iodoform test when treated with the NaOH and I2.

Explain the fact that even though dibenzoylmethane (C6H5COCH2COC6H5) is not a methyl ketone, it gives a positive iodoform test when treated with the NaOH and I2.

Positive iodoform test

Do you think that acetaldehyde would give a positive iodoform test? Explain your reasoning.

Nomenclature

how do you name aldehydes? Show examples.

Mechanism: synthesis

How can I synthesis phenylethene to obtain benzoic acid?
