What evidence you can present in support of your mechanism for the above reactions? (10x3=30)

3.Formulate the reactions and give mechanistic explanation for each step of the following:
(a)Treatment of cinnamic acid with bromine in refluxing CCl4 gives dibromocinnamic acid which with excess aq.NaOH gives (in two stages) phenyl propiolic acid.
(b)Reaction of -Butanol with thionyl chloride yields(R)2-chiorobutane which with sodium azide under SN2 conditions gives an azido derivative. The latter on catalytic hydrogenation leads to (S)-2-aminobutane which with excess Mel and subsequent Hofmann elimination gives l-butene.

Nitration of pyrrole with nitronium acetate gives 2-nitropyrrole whereas nitration of indole with the same reagent gives 3-ritroindole Explain.
(ii)Using appropriate reagents, how will you transform thiophene into 5-nitrothi ophene­2-aldehyde? Explain giving the mechanisms.
Heating a mixture of m-chloroaniline with glycerol in the presence of an acid catalyst gives a mixture of someric products i.e., chloroquinolines. What are these products and how are they formed?
(ii)Treatment of phthalic anhydride with urea yields phthalimide which with bromine in aq. NaOH gives anthranilic acid. Explain the reactions giving mechanisms.
