3. In a William Ether Synthesis of Phenacetin experiment After being washed with 5% aq. NaOH, the organic layer was washed with sat. aq. NaCI Ihe purpose of this step was to remove excess water from the organic layer. Propose an explanation for why a saturated solution of NaCl in water (saturated-meaning as much NaCl is dissolved in the water as possible) is used to extract excess water from the organic layer.

The reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols. a. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols? b. Provide an explanation for why an amide is less susceptible to nucleophilic attack than its corresponding ester.

Which approach is SAFEST for the synthesis of the following ester: معه a. C. d. + CH₂OH b. ང་ཐིག་, - san ““ - OH ... + CH₂OH A OA OB ос OD + CH₂CH₂CH₂OH

Please help me with both of these problems, they are  the same question its just a two-part, I really want to study so please help
