This was a william ether synthesis experiment where 4-ethyl phenol and ethyl bromide gave us our product 1-ethoxy-4-ethylbenzene. The organic layer was stirred with silica gel to remove any remaining 4-ethyl phenol from the solution. Why is this step only selective for the starting material(4-ethyl phenol) but not to the product?
Activated silica gel contain one strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecule per silanol group . Thus it means silica can form hydrogen bonding.
Ethyl bromide and 1-ethoxy-4-ethylbenzene can not form hydrogen bonding but 4-ethyl phenol can form hydrogen bonding. Hence, 4-ethyl phenol can form hydrogen bond with silica gel and become soluble in it . Thus, when silica gel is removed , 4 - ethyl phenol also get removed along with silica gel.

Page 1 Synthesis using Carbonyl O-Substitution Chemistry Preamble This experiment involves the synthesis of target molecules using a-substitution chemistry. You are assigned two target molecules, one of which is best synthesized by an alkylation approach, while the other is best synthesized by an addition or condensation approach. You must do the following: 1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends...
Synthesis using Carbonyla-Substitution Chemistry Preamble This experiment involves the synthesis of target molecules using a-substitution chemistry. You are assigned two target molecules, one of which is best synthesized by an alkylation approach, while the other is best synthesized by an addition or condensation approach. My two target molecules are number 2 and number 12 in the last page. You must do the following: 1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target molecules assigned to you. In each case the...
please help with how the flow chart will look like? thank

Synthesis of n-Butyl Bromide Purpose of the Experiment: In this week's experiment you will be synthesizing n-butylbromide (IUPAC 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol and a concentrated acid via a nucleophilie substitution reaction. It is important to know that alcohols dehydrate to form alkenes in the presence of strong inorganic acids, so care must be taken in this experiment not to heat the reaction too vigorously else an elimination reaction may...
Determine the yield limiting reagent and the theoretical yield for the following multistep synthesis from the reaction of ethyl acetoacetate. Draw the chemical complete chemical reaction and mechanism of Product C (determined to be 4-hydroxy-4 4-diphenylbutan-2-one) to Product E provided the procedure below. Procedure Step 4B [Product C to Product E] Place product [C] (0.5 g) in a 50 mL round bottomed flask, add acetone (15 mL), and concentrated HCl (2.5 mL). Boil under reflux on a water bath for...

Alcohols and Ethers 185 14.3 THE WILLIAMSON ETHER SYNTHESIS: PREPARATION OF PHENACETIN FROM ACETAMINOPHEN One of the most common methods used to prepare ether Williamson ether synthesis. In this reaction, an alkoxide anion (RO) acts as a nucleophile in an S, 2 process, displacing a leaving group (X) from an electrophile (R-X). R-20 . RY ROR...

Multistep Synthesis Preparation of 4,4-Diphenyl-3-buten-2-one! This experiment illustrates se multistep synthesis, in which the the next. This process is very common iment illustrates several important concepts of organic synthesis. It is a synthesis, in which the product of one reaction becomes the starting material of This process is very common in industry and research, and demands careful to vields and techniques.

Experiment Write Up Proposal You will write up a synthesis procedure for one reaction that could be potentially run in a face- to-face Chem 2321 lab session. Your proposal will include an introduction and procedure. The procedure will include step-by-step instructions for running the reaction (including reaction monitoring), work-up. (product isolation and purification), and analysis (characterization). You will need to include sample calculations for percent yield and provide sample spectra analysis. You must upload your proposal as a single document...
**(left structure)****(right

The two structures for the assignment are above and
the task is:
1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target
molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic
starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends
upon the target. For the structure given above (structure on left),
the starting material is either malonic ester or acetoacetic ester
and any halide. For the structure given above (structure on right),
the starting material is any...
