Organic Chemistry Assignment -
Q1. Describe Extraction technique in organic chemistry? What is Acid-Base extraction? Explain why the name "Acid-Base Extraction" is given to this technique.
Q2. Explain the following observation

When the above reaction was examined using two different solvents (DMSO) and ethanol the following observations were made.
When DMSO was used the product formed was optically pure and a Levorotatory. However, when the solvent was changed to ethanol, the product showed no optical activety, [X] = 0o. Why?
a) Explain this observation clearly.
b) Show the reaction mechanism for the reaction in DMSO.
Bonus - Propose a clear reaction mechanism for the following conversion.

Q3. Complete the following reactions. Show the stereochemistry where applicable.
