Solution: For solubility of benzophenone.
Explanation:
The benzophenone oxime is an organic compound which is prepared by the reaction of benzophenone and hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Benzophenone is slightly soluble in water but it is highly soluble in ethanol. Thus, ethanol is used to dissolved the benzophenone during synthesis. The synthesized oxime is also soluble in ethanol, hence it can be recrystallized by adding large excess of water.
when we convert benzophenone into benzophenone oxime, why do we use ethanol as a solvent?
Why can we not use water as a solvent for the reaction of cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride? Is it possible to convert between the two products without using the corresponding precursor ( ethyl acetate) ? How?
Why do we use ethanol, and not water to remove the OpaDry coating from pills?
Why did we have to use hot ethanol for the recrystallization
the solvent available are water, water mixed with ethanol,
ethanol, and toluene.
as for the unknown compounds we had:
methyl-p-nitrobenzoate
acetanilide
benzoic acid
phenacetin
acetylsalicylic acid
salicylic acid
acetaminophen
4-aminiobenzoic acid
Question 4: Look at the 4 solvents that you tested and the possible structure of the unknowns. Is there one solvent that you think might dissolve all these compounds at room temperature? Which one and why does it make sense in terms of IMF. (Hint: "like dissolves like "+...
Briefly explain why ethanol, and not hexane, is used as a solvent in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
a) What two products will be produced when adding acetyl chloride to ethanol? b) Draw the mechanism for the esterification (ferulic acid- ethyl p-Hydroxycinnamates) c) Why do you want to use 200-proof ethanol as the reaction solvent? (Why 200 proof, not 190 proof?)
Why is phthalic acid better recrystallized in water solvent rather than using ethanol or diethyl ether as solvent for the phthalic acid?
2.) When we take 1H or 13C spectra, we typically use CDCI3 as a solvent. What are the 'H and 13C chemical shifts for this compound? Why does it appear as a triplet in 13C spectra? (Hint: The nucleus of D has a spin of 1.) 3.) How many 13C NMR resonances do you expect for m-xylene and p-xylene, respectively? 4.) Look up the structure of isophorone. How many 'H NMR peaks (ignore splitting) do you expect for this compound?...
9.58 (SYN) Which solvent-ethanol or dimethyl sulfoxide - would be better to use to carry out the reaction shown here? Why?
Why can 95% ethanol be used as a solvent in the synthesis of 2-butoxynaphthalene? I thought that for an Sn2 mechanism only aprotic solvents can be used for the synthesis?
