Question

what happens when a thiol reacts with an aldehyde in presence of hcl​

Answer 1

Answer:

aldol reactions:

1) acetone can tautomerize to 2-hydroxypropene (2-propenol)

2) 2-propenol is nucleophilic enough that it can react with another equivalent of acetone, forming a new C-C bond. Depending on the strength of the acid and the temperature of the reaction, this may dehydrate to give the enone...

3) this reaction can happen multiple times, and 1,4-addition or extended enolate formation may even allow polymerization.

Answer 2

✴Hy here is the answer......

• The peculiar instability conferred on
• a thio ether, when the carbon
• adjacent to the sulfur carries a
• hydroxyl group, is like the instability
• of sulfonic acids under similar
• conditions. In each case the
• compounds dissociate readily. ...
• Dissolved in sodium bicarbonate the
• compound gives a strong
• nitroprusside reaction.
