Interpretation:
The products when succinic anhydride reacts with the given compounds are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic anhydrides are acidic anhydrides where the water molecules in carboxylic acids are removed. These anhydrides have the same boiling point when compared to esters and acyl chlorides of the same molecular weight.
Succinic anhydride, as one of the carboxylic anhydrides, produces various compounds when it reacts with different types of organic and inorganic compounds.
When succinic anhydride reacts with an excess of ammonia, an ammonium based carboxylic compound is formed.
When succinic anhydride reacts with water, it gets hydrated and forms its acid.
When succinic anhydride reacts with propyl alcohol, it produces a compound of
Succinic anhydride reacts with benzene and aluminium chloride to produce an acid.
When succinic anhydride reacts with an excess of ethylamine, it forms a stabilized compound of
Succinic anhydride with an alcoholic compound in the presence of pyridine gives an ester and a carboxylic acid.

- illustrate the chemical equation of N,N- Dimethyl aniline reacts with Diazotized Sulfanilic acid to form Methyl Orangearrow_forwardEarly organic chemists used the Hofmann elimination reaction as the last step of a process known as a Hofmann degradation—a method used to identify amines. In a Hofmann degradation, an amine is methylated with excess methyl iodide in a basic solution, treated with silver oxide to convert the quaternary ammonium iodide to a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and then heated to allow it to undergo a Hofmann elimination. Once the alkene product is identified, working backward gives the structure of the amine. Identify the amine in each of the following cases: a. 4-Methyl-2-pentene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. b. 3-Methyl-1-butene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. c. 2-Methyl-1-3-butadiene is obtained from two successive Hofmann degradations of a secondary amine.arrow_forwardTwo reactions occur when sodium hydroxide is added to methyl salicylate.
