1,4‐Dimethoxybenzene (0.642 g) was dissolved in 2.0 mL acetic acid in a 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask using heat from a hot plate. Once the solid dissolved, 1.0 mL tert‐ butanol was added, and the reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Then 2.0 mL concentrated sulfuric acid was added in 2‐3 drop portions,stirring the mixture after each aliquot. After the addition, the flask was removed from the ice bath and allowed to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then 1.0 mL water was added dropwise to dilute the acid and the reaction mixture was added to 40 mL cold water in a 100 mL beaker. The solid was vacuum filtered and washed with 5 mL cold water, giving 52 g filtrate. The product wasrecrystallized from 4.5 mL methanol, yielding 0.317 g purified 1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,5‐dimethoxy benzene (27.2% yield). What is the atom economy, e-factor, and effective mass yield?
1.Each of the student statements below is wrong. You will need to explain why they are not correct. (a) All my compound dissolved right away in the small amount of solvent I added at room temperature, and I didn’t need to heat it at all. This means I’m going to get lots of pure compound out. (b) I did a recrystallization of naphthalene and my percent recovery was very high (99%), so I must have pure product. (c) When you’ve dissolved all your compound in hot solvent, and you’re in a hurry, it’s ok to just place it straight into the ice bath.

Acetaminophen or paracetamol, the active ingredient in many pain killers absorbs in the UV range with a λmax at 250 nm in neutral solutions (methanol usually). Its extinction coefficient is 14 mM-1cm-1. Each commercially available tablet (Tylenol, Panadol or Herron) contains 500 mg paracetamol. Its molecular weight is 151.1. Using this information, calculate the dilution required to analyse the concentration of paracetamol in a commercially available paracetamol tablet. Start by dissolving the tablet in 100 mL methanol. Show working out.
