0.56 g 1,4‐dimethoxybenzene, 0.9 mL 2‐chloro‐2‐methylpropane, 5 mL nitrobenzene and 0.52 g graphite were combined, and the mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hours. It was then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtered graphite was washed with 15 mL hexane. The filtrate was distilled under vacuum to remove any remaining 1,4‐dimethoxybenzene, 2‐chloro‐2‐ methylpropane and nitrobenzene (6.3 g), yielding 0.44 g 1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,5‐dimethoxybenzene (43.4% yield). What is the Atom economy, E factor, and effective mass yield?
