AI Thread Summary
The reaction of R-CH=CH-C≡CH with CrO3 and HOAc results in the formation of R-COOH and CH≡C-COOH. The process involves the oxidation of the double bond, leading to the introduction of a carbonyl group (=O). This mechanism resembles ozonolysis, but notably, the triple bond remains intact. The discussion seeks clarification on the specifics of this reaction pathway. Understanding the role of CrO3 and HOAc in this transformation is crucial for grasping the overall reaction dynamics.

Homework Statement



R-CH=CH-C=_CH in presense of CrO3 and HOAc gives R-COOH+ CH=_C-COOH



The Attempt at a Solution



Can someone please explain this reaction to me? Seems like the double bond was broken and replaced with a =O. Almost like ozonolysis except the triple bond wasnt touched.

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
