Can you please explain the oxidation reaction of 9-fluorenol to 9-fluorenone using sodium hypochlorite, preferably a detailed explanation of everything that is happening.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer:-

Mechanism :

NaOCl + AcOH HOCl + AcONa

Step 1 , protonation of HOCl.

Step 2 , involves nucleophilic attack of -OH group of 9-fluorenol on Cl atom.

Step 3 , Abstraction of proton by water molecule.

Step 4 , Generation of carbonyl group and elimination of Cl group.

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl) is produced by the reaction of a sodium hydroxide solution with chlorine gas. Water and NaCl are also produced in the reaction. 1.75 liters of a 45% NaOH solution (S.G = 1.478) is reacted with 275 liters of gaseous Cl2 (at STP). The product is analyzed and it is determined that 618 g of NaOCl was formed. Determine: The limiting reactant. The percent excess of the excess reactant, if any. The conversion. The yield of NaOCl.
