Please give detailed answers to the pre and post lab questions.
Thank you!
NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT- FORMATION OF AN ETHER BY AN SN2 REACTION Bond formation by use of an SN2 reaction is very important for organic and biological synthesis. Many new bonds formed make use of this versatile reaction pathway. In this reaction, one partner is the nucleophile and the other partner is the electrophile. The electrophile will have a leaving group that will be lost in the reaction. In...
Why is it essential to mix the paracetamol with sodium hydroxide before adding of 1-bromobutane? Use the equation to describe the reaction process.
Step 1: React phenol with sodium hydroxide Step 2: Add 2-Chlorobutane The product(s) is/are __________. an ether an alcohol an ether and an alkene an alkene an alcohol and an alkene In the reaction above, which type of reaction is occurring? free radical halogenation acid-base followed by SN2 and E2 SN1 oxidation-reduction oxidation reduction followed by SN1

Why is it important to fully cool the product in an ice bath prior to isolation by suction filtration? Why do you need to rinse your product with ice water instead of room temperature water? Based on what you have learned in lecture, what would happen if you used 2-iodo-2-methylpropune as your electrophile in this reaction? Based on what you have learned in lecture, w hat would be the impact of changing...
Please calculate the percent yield if my actual yield was
0.06g

1.Friedel-Crafts acylation of ortho-nitrotoluene with acetyl chloride and aluminum trichloride gives: A.a mixture of acetophenones with the nitro group always ortho or para to the carbonyl. B.almost exclusively a single product, 3-nitro-4-methyl-acetophenone. C.2-methyl-acetophenone by nitro group displacement. D.no reaction since the nitro group is so deactivating. 2.You decide to make meta-nitrophenol by doing which of the following steps? A.Reacting phenol with fuming nitric acid in an ice bath. B.Reacting benzene with fuming nitric acid, then reacting the product with chlorine/iron,...
saponification of coconut oil with NaOH
1. What is the nucleophile in this reaction?
hydroxide???
2. Why doesn’t sodium acetate act as soap?
Sodium acetate cannot be used as soap because there is no
non-polar hydrocarbon side component long enough to bind nonpolar
dirt fats or oils. Without this organic component it cannot be used
as soap.???
3. Detergents contain compounds that have a sulfonate group
instead of a carboxylate. Why do detergents work better than soaps
at all pH...
Why is it important to completely dissolve both the alkene and alkyne before adding the pyridiumium tribromide to the reaction vial. Why is this important? Hint: the alkene and alkyne do not have the same solubility in acetic acid. this is the experiment, In the fume hood, measure 2.0 mL of glacial acetic acid into your 10 mL microscale reaction vial. Add trans-stilbene (135 mg, 0.75 mmol) and diphenylacetlyene (135 mg, 0.75 mmol). Add a stir bar and place the...
1. In both the sodium iodide
test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react
faster than 2-chlorobutane?
Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than
chlorine is.
2. a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both
SN1 and SN2 conditions?
Benzyl
chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2
conditions.
The
primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is
stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.
b. Why is...
what is the theoretical yield and what is the percent
yield?
In a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask containing a magnetic stirring bar, mix 0.05 md benzaldehyde with the theoretical quantity of acetone, and add one-half the ture to a solution of 5 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 50 mL of water and 40 mL of ethanol at room temperature (<25°C). After 15 minutes of stirring ada remainder of the aldehyde-ketone mixture and rinse the container with a little ethanol to...
