One of the compounds used in this experiment is potassium carbonate. What is its function?
(williamson ether synthesis experiment)
a) K2CO3 accepts a proton from the product
b) K2CO3 donates oxygen to the reactant
c) K2CO3 neutralizes the base
d) K2CO3 neutralizes the acid
Homework Answers
One of the compounds used in this experiment is potassium carbonate. What is its function?
(williamson ether synthesis experiment)
The correct answer is
a) K2CO3 accepts a proton from the product
K2CO3 is base which can abstract the excess proton from the product. Generally all base's function is to abstract proton either from reactant or from product.

IlI. Preparation of Synthetic Eugenol (10 pts) Eugenol, the main component of clove oil, can be prepared from heating 2-allyl guaiacol (in the absence of oxygen) to temperatures>205 °C. In practice, however, it is most cost effective to extract eugenol from cloves, its natural source. Given a weight percentage of eugenol in cloves at-15%, calculate the minimum mass of cloves one needs to obtain 1.00 g of eugenol as product? Report your answer below. Show your...
