Question 13
What is the purpose of adding 50% sodium hydroxide solution in Wittig reaction.
A) reactant B) recrystallization C) deprotonation D) Solvent
Question 14
What is the purpose of anhydrous calcium chloride pellets in wittig reaction.
A) Drying aqueous layer B) Reactant C) Reagent D) Drying organic layer
Question 15
Provide the structure of the ylide needed to prepare 3-ethyl-3-heptene from 3-pentanone using a Wittig reaction.

Ques 13:- Right ans is option C , 50% NaoH solution is used for deprotonation so that ylide can easily be formed.
Ques 14:- Right ans is option D , Anhydrous calcium chloride pellets in used for drying organic layer.
Ques 15:- Right ans is option C , because in product there are total 9 carbons and in reactant already 5 carbons are present so we need 4 carbons to get the product and mechanism will be same as per wittig reaction by the formation of ylide
What is the purpose of adding 50% sodium hydroxide solution in Wittig reaction.
Based on the Wittig Reaction exp. below, please answer a) and
b). In b) you can disregard the part about the IR, just please
interpret and assign protons, shift values, which protons are for
which groups, etc on the HNMR. The % yield was 34%, and MP was
lower than expected (to assist with answering part a). This should
be all the information you need to answer the question.
HNMR
Discuss the percentage yield of the reaction. Explain and provide...
This procedure was conducted for diethyl n-butylmalonate. The
question is: What is the purpose of the tricaprylmethylammonium
chloride and why is it used in a nomstoichiometric?
Chapter 42 Malonic Ester of a Barbiturate 541 Into a 5-mL long-necked, round-bottomed flask, weigh 40 mg of tricaprylmethylammonium chloride, 400 mg of diethyl malonate, 350 mg of 1-bromobutane, and 415 mg of anhydrous potassium carbonate. Attach the empty distillation column as an air condenser and reflux the mixture for 1.5 hours (Fig. 42.1)....
