Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for an uncatalyzed hydrolysis of methyl propionate.
Concept introduction:
The hydrolysis reaction of etser is the reaction in which the breaking of ester bond is done by using water molecule. The product obtained after the ester hydrolysis is the corresponding carboxylic acid. The hydrolysis reaction can be done in the presence of an acid or base to increase the
The general reaction of an ester to produce in presence of only water is written as,
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for aminolysis of phenyl formate using methyl amine.
Concept introduction:
The reaction of a carboxylic acid derivative with ammonia, primary and secondary

- Explain the mechanism for an acid catalyzed hydrolysis of nitrile ?arrow_forwardA fellow student somehow mixed an aspirin sample with paracetamol after synthesising both. Explain how you would separate aspirin from paracetamol using liquid-liquid extraction.arrow_forward1. Why does p-nitroacetanilide recrystallize in ethanol, but the o-acetanilide remains in the filtrate? 2. Give two reasons why a water bath can and must be used during the recrystallisation of benzoin synthesisis.arrow_forward
- What is the most likely organic product of the exhaustive hydrolysis of PhCN? A. benzoic acid B. benzamide C. benzylamine D. benzenearrow_forwardSynthesis of p-Bromoaniline Why is a sodium acetate solution added in part 1? a) The sodium ion directs the position of the acetyl group. b) To protonate the intermediate and make it less soluble. c) The acetate catalyzes the formation of the amide bond. d) To deprotonate the intermediate and make it less solublearrow_forwardHow to use streckers synthesis to prepare phenylalanine in the laboratoryarrow_forward
- Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed reaction of salicylic acid with aceticanhydride.(b) Explain why a single drop of sulfuric acid dramatically increases the reaction ratearrow_forwardSuggest a test you will use to show that a given food substance contains protein. Show how you will use; A modified Gabriel's synthesis A Streckers' synthesis to prepare phenylalanine in the laboratory.arrow_forwardWhat are at least three sources of error for the synthesis of acetanilide lab?arrow_forward
- Why is retrosynthesis seen as a very important approach in the synthesis of organic compounds, explain the steps in retrosynthesis and apply them in the synthesis of p-amino benzoate analgesics. Why is a protective group needed in the synthesis stage ?arrow_forwardExplain why DMF(dimethyformamide) is a particularly good solvent for the synthesis of n-Hexyl acetate reaction?arrow_forward¨ Aspirin is an ester and undergoes the typical reaction of esters. Write a mechanism for the reaction. Taking this in mind, why should you not recrystallize aspirin from hot water?arrow_forward
