What is the pKa of Sylvianic Acid if it is 2.3% dissociated at pH = 10.26?
An unknown compound is treated with peroxyacetic acid in dilute sulfuric acid. The product of reaction 1 is reacted with excess PBr3 , then excess NaNH2 (reaction 3). The product of reaction 3 is treated with lithium, then n-butylbromide (reaction 4). In reaction 5 the product of reaction 4 is reacted with ozone, then NaHSO3. This final reaction produced 2 acids, propanoic acid and pentanoic acid. What was the original unknown compouond?
Which of the compounds have the lowest pKA, why?
