1. Explain why the nitration of methylbenzoate occurs in the meta position 2. Why is it important to a synthesis reaction of m-nitromethylbenzoate mixute to be cold? 3. What is the function of sulfuric acid in this synthesis These are the procedures for reference Procedure: Add concentrated Sulfuric acid to a conical vial (CV) to the 0.3 mL line. Perform in a fume hood. Cool the CV in an ice bath to 0-10 oC and then add 0.140 mL of...
Can you explain how to find what is the theoretical yield, and
the desired percent yield of ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate?
1. Synthesis of ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate a) In a 50-ml round-bottom flask, weigh out 4-nitrobenzoic acid (0.85 g, 0.005 mol). Add to this 8 ml of absolute ethanol. Add boiling stones, and then bring this solution to the Lab Technologist. WATER OUT b) The Lab Technologist will deliver 1.2 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to the mixture from the automatic pipette. [CAUTION,...
