8. Liquid-liquid extraction. A progressive (thought) exercise. a) Benzoic acid, C 6 H 5 CO 2 H, is insoluble in water (< 1 w/w %). A suspension of solid benzoic acid in water is treated with enough 1.0 M NaOH (aq) to react with the acid. What balanced acid-base reaction takes place? b) Judging by the products in this reaction, do you expect the benzoic acid to dissolve in the resulting aqueous phase? yes, or no, and why. c) Now, make a biphasic mixture of diethyl ether and water (see #7, above). Use a separatory funnel, as in the illustration above. Which substance is the upper layer? ______________ d) Add solid benzoic acid to these layered solvents, and mix thoroughly. Does the benzoic acid dissolve, and if so, where should it be found? ____________________ e) Then, make the pH of the aqueous phase alkaline (basic) with NaOH until the pH = 11.00. Again, mix thoroughly. Where should the benzoic acid be found now? ____________________ f) Separate the two phases carefully, placing…

A chemist was charged with the task of making amino alcohol 2. This chemist decided to attempt a Grignard reaction between two equivalents of phenylmagnesium bromide and amino ester 1. To this end, two equivalents of the Grignard reagent were added to a flask containing a stirred THF solution of ester 1 at -78 °C. Upon acidic aqueous work-up of the reaction mixture, the desired alcohol 2 was not isolated, even though one equivalent of methanol was produced and all the starting materials were consumed. Instead, two products with the molecular formulae of C6H6 and C7H13NO were obtained in a 2:1 ratio, respectively. Identify the structures of these two products and describe, mechanistically, how they were formed.
