Aspirin, or 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, (C9H8O4) is often synthesised from salicylic acid.(i) Sketch and discuss any changes in the number of possible structural conformations ofaspirin relative to those of salicylic acid. (ii) Re-draw the structure predicted to be the lowest energy conformation of aspirin,indicating any expected stabilising and destabilising interactions. Justify your choice.
Birch reduction of 2-methoxynaphthalene gave a mixture of two isomeric compounds, each having the molecular formula C11H14O. Suggest reasonable structures for these compounds.
On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.
The German chemist Wilhelm Kӧrner (1839-1925) observed in 1974 that each of the three isomers of dibromobenzene, A, B, and C, gave a different number of tribromobenzenes upon further bromination, allowing him to assign their respective structures. Try to do the same and assign structures to A, B, and C based on the following results: A gives two tribromobenzenes in comparable amounts B gives three tribromobenzenes, one of them in minor quantities C gives only one tribromobenzene
A student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Brady
A solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?

In two parts, outline the Electrophilic aromatic substitution for the nitration of benzene using nitric acid and sulfuric acid: A) In part I, using the curved arrow formalism, outline a mechanism for the formation of the nitronium ion, NO2+ starting from nitric acid, HNO3 and sulfuric acid, H2SO4. Do not forget to show all of the formal charges for each atom that is not zero in this mechanism. B) Starting from the nitronium ion that you generated in part “a” from above, outline the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution of this ion with benzene.
