In this experiment, we produce 2 different white solid compounds. We assume that one recovered white solid compound is p-toluic acid and we assume the other is p-tert butyl phenol based on their acid-base properties. Explain how we could be be more certain about the assignments (alternatively, if you don’t label your flasks/solids well, how could you determine what the structure of each of the isolated solid is) Hint: there are techniques from previous experiments that we could use to help identify the solids.

In this experiment, we used DCM, Benzoic Acid and NaOH In what form is the organic acid after it is extracted? Draw the acid-base reaction using structures and arrows. Answer the same question for the organic base that was used and draw the reaction scheme for it as well. Upload a picture of your drawing (these should include mechanism arrows showing the movement of electrons).
Based on the carbon and proton NMR come up with a reasonable structure for them, if it helps this was part of an unknowns lab in organic chemistry and the product is a carboxylic acid of some sort
For the second reaction, what happened to the methyl group sticking from the same carbon as the phenyl group. I don't understand why it was rotated? Could this not be a subsitution reaction?
In this experiment we will perform a Grignard addition to an ester. First we will form the Grignard reagent from magnesium and bromobenzene and then we will add it to methyl benzoate to produce triphenylcarbinol (also called triphenylmethanol). The sequence and mechanism are attached below Why do you need to add HCl in this reaction? What would happen if you did not add enough?

The sequence and mechanism are attached below. If no ester was available, could you use another carbonyl compound like CH3CH2COOH to perform the reaction? Explain why/why not
Please I need help with this question Based on the experiment- Synthesis of Iodosalicylamide – An Electrophilic AromaticSubstitution (a derivative of benzene, salicylamide was used and substituted an iodine atom onto the ring; the ring is the nucleophile while the atom/molecule that is being substituted onto the ring has anelectrophilic character) Please I need help with this QUESTION: Draw the structure of the final product(s) based on the ATTACHED IR analysis. Also label the signals (both the frequency and molecular motion) that help determine the final product(s). Thanks in advance
Can you mark the part of compound 4 that are from compound 2? Also is compound 2 act as an nucleophile or electrophile when it reacted with compound 1?
a. What is the purpose of adding Sodium carbonate to the black tea? You can explain its purpose as a paragraph or by showing the reaction of one phenolic compound reacting with it.b. Do you expect this phenolic compound to be soluble in water or DCM?
Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong. Please answer them all Substitution reactions do not occur in aromatic rings because of pi-electron delocalization. The resulting iodinated aspirin has a higher Rf compared to aspirin after visualizing with ferric chloride. The mobile phase used in determining the Rf of the iodinated aspirin is 5% ethyl acetate in acetic acid. When isopropyl alcohol reacts with HCI, the resulting product is 2-chloropropane. In Fehling's test, the theoretical product after an aldehyde is mixed with Fehling's Solution is alcohol. lodoform, which has a molecular formula of CH3l, is indicative that a ketomethyl group is present. Based on the physical property, hydroquinone has a lower boiling point compared to catechol. Picric acid, being a phenolic compound, tests positive for the FeCl3 test. Nucleophilic molecules are electron-rich molecules that can "attack" electron-deficient molecules. When FeCl3 is used in visualizing…
Upon performing the experiment- there was bubble formation- positive test indicating the presence of a carboxylic acid. My question is- Does the 1H NMR, IR, and carboxylic acid test results agree? Explain why or why not, providing explanation from each spectrum. please see photo
If Zaitsev's rule does not apply and the base is bulky then how will the product look?
What is the purpose of combining nitric acid with sulfuric acid before starting a nitration reaction on an aromatic substrate? Sulfuric acid is necessary to react with nitric acid and form NO2+. Sulfuric acid is a necessary solvent. All aromatic compounds are soluble in sulfuric acid, but insoluble in nitric acid. Sulfuric acid plays no significant role. We are just following the procedure, which calls for sulfuric acid, even though it has no effect. Sulfuric acid is necessary to dilute the nitric acid. Concentrated nitric acid alone reacts too quickly and risks nitrating the substrate a second or third time.
