1. Write the reaction that you will do this week for the Williamson ether synthesis. Label the nucleophile and the electrophile, the nucleophilic atom and the electrophilic atom. 2. Mechanistically, what type of reaction is the ether synthesis that you will perform this week? 3. An extraction is done for the work-up. What liquids will be used for the extraction? In which liquid will the product be? Will the product be in the top layer or the bottom layer?

Self-condensation of acetone is a possible side reaction for the aldol condensation(Reaction 1). Draw the structure of this side product. How is this side reaction minimizedin our procedure written below? Reaction 1 - Experimental Procedure: In a clean, small Erlenmeyer flask, combine your unknownaromatic aldehyde (350 μL (400 mg if it is a solid)), 95% ethanol (2.0 mL), and 5 N aqueoussodium hydroxide (0.6 mL). Swirl to mix, and then add acetone (100 μL). Stir/swirl vigorously for30 minutes, until precipitation is complete. If no precipitate forms after 15 minutes, heat theErlenmeyer flask gently in on the sand bath in the hood for 15 minutes, and then allow it to coolto room temperature. Whether heated or not, cool your Erlenmeyer flask in an ice bath for 10minutes to ensure complete crystallization. Collect the product by vacuum filtration. (If you donot have any solid at this point, evaporate all solvent in the sand bath. Recrystallize if solidresidue is obtained; otherwise stop…
For the reaction shown below, add arrows to indicate the movement of electrons. In the reaction, does the enolate act as the electrophile or as the nucleophile?
How does the negative inductive effect (−I) of chlorine in the ortho position of the phenol, reduce the negative charge, located on the oxygen of the phenolate anion? Is this why the Oxygen in the phenolate ion will act as a worse nucleophile if the Chlorine is in the ortho position vs the para position?
In a mixed aldol condensation with unknown aldehydes and ketones experiment, some aldol condensation reactions need to be heated for the dehydration step to occur. Explain why that was not necessary for the reactions carried out in this experiment? [Hint: what makes the product especially stable?]. This experiment used ethanol, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, cyclohexanone and 4- methoxybenzaldehyde.
