A student performed the reaction in this experiment using a water bath at 90°C instead of 50°C. The final product was tested for the presence of phenols with ferric chloride. This test was negative (no color observed); however, the melting point of the dry product was 122–125°C. Explain these results as completely as possible.

What product would you obtain if you evaporated the water from the NaOH layer prior to acidifying the layer? (we are trying to extract p-tert-butylphenol; it is in aqueous solution with NaOH, which we used to extract it from a mixture dissolved in ether). Prior to acidifying with HCl, it is ionic (phenoxide).
why it is important to keep water out of the acid-catalysed esterification of octanoic acid with 1-propanol reaction? What would happen if water got into the reaction mixture?
In a Grignard synthesis of benzoic acid experiment, a student determines that their crude product was a mixture of benzoic acid and benzene. Describe a series of extractions using the following solvents and solutions to get pure benzoic acid or its salt in an ether solution. A. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) B. 3M HCl C. 3M NaOH
The melting point of crude p-nitroaniline was 147 ºC while the melting point of purified p-nitroaniline was 149 ºC. If the melting point of pure o-nitroaniline is close to 72 ºC. What can you tell about the purity of crude p-nitroaniline?
Show the product formed as a result of the reaction between propanoic acid and benzylalcohol in an acidic environment by writing the reaction mechanism together.
This experiment is the Separation of a mixture of 3-nitroaniline, Benzoic acid, and naphthalene using an acid-base separation extraction technique What properties of the three compounds in this experiment allow you to use the above technique to separate them?Why are you asked to use multiple portions of the solvent at the extraction steps?Why are you asked not to discard any solvents until you have obtained your products?
Why is eugenol steam-distilled rather than purified by simple distillation?
During the work-up to obtain cis- and trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, the procedure required the use of diethyl ether for extraction followed by two washes of the extract with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. What is the difference between extraction and washing in a work-up procedure like this one?
The final step in the procedure for this experiment is drying of the acetylsalicylic product in an oven. If the acetylsalicylic acid product is not dried sufficiently, how would the calculation of the percent yield for the reaction be affected? Would the calculated percent yield be too high or too low? Explain.
Could you please explain and show how to calculate the theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane from this procedure?
Show the steps in the acid-catalyzed formation of a cyclic acetal from ethylene glycol.
1) Based on the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the compounds, which of the compounds in this experiment is the most hazardous, and why (you have been given a representative aryl halide rather than all of the alkenes – as the products are all new, there’s not a simple answer to gauge their potential hazard)? 2,3-dihydrofuran,2-Mercaptobenzimidazole,Selectfluor, Dimethylformamide,dichloromethane-methylene chloride.
