Hello! Could you please answer this with one long dimentional analysis like I am supposed to do it? Thank you!
I got confused with the steps provided. In m= it should have an exponent raised to (-10) but during Step 2, the exponent (-10) in m is omitted. Second, I do not know the basis of the formula used in Step 2. Please provide a better explanation of the solution. Thank you.
This was a Diels-Alder on Water lab where we combined 9-anthracenemethanol and N-methylmaleimide to make the Diels-Alder Adduct. I provided you with the NMR, the observed peaks from left to right, and a table that could be helpful. Which functional group represents each peak? Observed Peaks 7.08 ppm 5.28 ppm 3.33 ppm 2.52 ppm 2.14 ppm 1.63 ppm
Complete a reagent table (check procedure for acid concentration) and calculate your theoretical yield and percent yield. 2. Available Information: 11 mmol of 2-methylcyclohexanol and 1.3 mL of 9 M sulfuric acid. Actual data from IR and GC-MS spectra: Peak 1 mass = 96.2 (1-methylcyclohexene) Peak 2 mass = 96.2 (3-methylcyclohexene) 3. How efficient was the reaction? Are there any key areas in the procedure that caused a significant drop in yield?
The Hammett analyses have been done on two substrates which obtain a rho value of 3.8. from the correlation with positive sigma constants (A) while the other set of substituents (B). has a rho value of -2 using the regular sigma values: part a) identify which rho value matches the substituents using resonance as an argument.
explain in detail why this is the correct response
(aldehyde, ketone lab for organic chem 2) An unknown substance is found to be soluble in water and gives a positive 2,4- DNP test. If you observe a yellow color after performing the iodoform test, what specific functional group must be present in the unknown? Please provide detail, will mark as helpful. Thank you
E. J. Coreys 1964 total synthesis of -caryophyllene (essence of cloves) solves a number of problems of construction of unusual-sized rings. The first step uses an efficient photochemical [2 + 2] reaction. The desired stereochemistry and regiochemistry had been predicted based on model reactions. (a) [2 + 2] Reactions are quite common in photochemical reactions. Would this reaction be predicted to occur in the ground state? The next steps follow. Basic alumina is a chromatography support that will often act as a base catalyst. (b) What is the mechanism of the first step? (c) What is the mechanism of the second step? (d) Look at later steps in the synthesis. Does the stereochemistry of the added carbomethoxy group matter? The next steps are shown here. (e) What is the structure of compound (A)? (f) Give a mechanism for the formation of the cyclized product. (g) Give a mechanism for the first step. Hint: Attack on the lactone carbonyl may be the first step. (h) Give a structure for product (B). The following two steps are next. (i) Show the reactions of (B). (j) Write a mechanism for the ring-opening reaction. Hint: Note the presence of an acidic proton and a good leaving group in the molecule. The synthesis was completed by the following steps. (k) What is (C)? (l) What reagents would you use for these transformations?
IR Analysis – be sure to staple IR spectra to your report and fill in the following information. (Note there is a table in the attached image listing where the relevant peaks are. The product has an alkyl chain and an ester so look under the aliphatic hydrocarbons (means alkyl group) and ester categories in the table. a) Peak table Peak Position cm-1 Bond Type Functional Group b) Briefly explain based on you IR spectra how well your reaction worked.
Procedure To a 100-mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar add furfural (3 mL) and acetone (1 mL). Add ethanol (5 mL) and stir the mixture. Carefully add 10% sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL) and continually stir the mixture for 1h, note any changes. Place a 500 mL beaker containing water-ice (300 mL) in an ice bath. Remove the stirring bar from the aldol reaction using a magnetic retriever or a spatual and place the bar in the beaker. Stir the solution vigorously. Using a glass pipette, add dropwise the reaction mixture. This must be done very slowly and with vigorous stirring to prevent oiling out of the product. If the product oils out, you will not be able to filter it after stirring vigorously for an additional hour! You may also need to use a stirring rod. After the addition, make sure that there is no oil in the bottom of the beaker. If there is, continue stirring. Filtering oils will clog the filter paper. Vacuum filter the solids using a large Buchner funnel. Wash the…

Preparation of alpha-Chloro-2,6-dimethylacetanilideCombine 0.033 mol of 2,6-dimethylaniline with 25 mL of glacial acetic acid (or ethyl acetateor THF) and 0.033 mol of alpha-chloroacetyl chloride, in that order, in an appropriately sized Erlenmeyer flask. With the aid of a hot water bath, warm the solution to 40-50°C, remove the flask from the bath, and add a solution of 5 g of sodium acetate trihydrate dissolved in 100 mL of water.
