Q: What's the major product of this reaction

What's the major product of the following reaction. Please can somebody hell me out with the answer. Thank you.

organic-chemistry

"Please can somebody hell me out with the answer." How did that even pass through the automated SE filters?

it even censors out the Hi/Hello greetings, and missed this?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

10:49 AM

@GaurangTandon it does?

Gaurang Tandon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ yeah it removes "Hi" if you put at the start

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@GaurangTandon just hell them out already

Gaurang Tandon

yeah I did cast the close vote already

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

BTW, there are legit uses for REAL swear words and not "hell"

So they're not blocked

Gaurang Tandon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ at least there are no legit uses on chem.se?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

There are LOTS of posts you really wish to be caught. More obvious too

@GaurangTandon 37 uses

You would wish these would get caught

Gaurang Tandon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that's so saddening; only one of them has a legit use though "Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky"

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@GaurangTandon is it saddening though? Meh

Gaurang Tandon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that's disturbing

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ i mean, why'd anyone want to use those words

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Hell is warm, and some countries have cold winters

Gaurang Tandon

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Welcome to our community btw

MollyCooL

Avnish Kabaj

@MollyCooL what is wala

MollyCooL

It doesn’t mean anything lol. But its close to arabic word * Wallah*

It doesn’t mean anything lol. But its close to arabic word Wallah

Gaurang Tandon

@PrittBalagopal welcome back! :D

i'm new too

Pritt Balagopal

12:13 PM

Hey @GaurangTandon I gotta say thanks for waking me up. I recently got lots of notifications from you, and thats what prompted me to return back here!

Gaurang Tandon

@PrittBalagopal welcome :)

Pritt Balagopal

I had written my JEE last year, and totally forgot about the site after I moved into college :(

Gaurang Tandon

Gaurang Tandon

@PrittBalagopal i'm about to move to college too, hopefully i'll try remain active for at least an year

which college are you in?

Pritt Balagopal

12:16 PM

NIT Trichy

Gaurang Tandon

oh cool

Pritt Balagopal

College is quite different from School, so yeah it took a while to get used to the new environment.

Gaurang Tandon

hmmm

Pritt Balagopal

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@MollyCooL It doesn’t mean anything lol. But its close to arabic word Wallah

Gaurang Tandon

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Wallah means God, right?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@Pritt hello stranger

@GaurangTandon "I swear to God"

Gaurang Tandon

12:23 PM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ oh, I hear that everyday morning; had always misunderstood it, duh

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Allah is "God", and "W" slash "Wa" is "and"

But it could be interpreted as "I swear to", especially in combination with God

Gaurang Tandon

hmm

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

I don't know about Arabic countries, but here, Wallah could be used to mean "No kidding"

MollyCooL

Yes , but is it equivalent to wala?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

I have no idea what wala is. Could be yummy

@MollyCooL No results found. Did you mean "voila"?

MollyCooL

12:28 PM

I said close in the sense the spelling

MollyCooL

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Avnish Kabaj

Vao looks like it was in 06

Not 13-14

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

There's a Persian term "vell" which roughly means a bloke with no useful contribution to the community

So I'm taking that's the right definition among the sea of annoyingly illiterate definitions

MollyCooL

Can flags be responded only by mods?

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

12:36 PM

@MollyCooL what type of flags?

MollyCooL

What type of flag on questions and answers?

MollyCooL

Avnish Kabaj

12:40 PM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ oh boy now the question is wether the tamilian term originated from the Persian one

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@MollyCooL Are you asking what NAA is, or confirming what I said, or something else?

MollyCooL

I answered your question. And asked you to state the fullform of NAA and VLQ.

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@AvnishKabaj modern day Tamilians and Persians are not neighbors

MollyCooL

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

MollyCooL

Then no!!!

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Yes!!!

It's undeniable that the two cultures have been interconnected since dawn of history, but if you aim to answer a question like that, it will always be "it's complicated"

MollyCooL

True that. What do the internet sources suggest? Im too lazy to google.

The Quora answer seems incomplete

But it's right

As right as history stuff can get

So, TLDR, as I recall the material I read, we invented our own Gods, demonized yours, seemingly because we felt sad about the good ol' times in India (Note that Aryans migrated from India to Iran-ish, Europe, and India again) and your monks demonized ours since our culture was spreading thanks to prosperous empires, and it felt like a cultural invasion

While I think it is not exactly the best question we have received, the homework close option shouldn't be indiscriminately used - it just becomes a slippery slope and eventually any question that we don't like can just be closed with HW.
