(a)
To determine: The conditions used for nitration and the form of aniline present under those conditions.
Interpretation: The conditions used for nitration and the form of aniline present under those conditions are to be stated.
Concept introduction: The reactivity of nitrobenzene toward electrophilic
(b)
To determine: The reason for nitration of aniline being sluggish and formation of meta substituted isomer as major product.
Interpretation: The reason for nitration of aniline being sluggish and formation of meta substituted isomer as major product are to be stated.
Concept introduction: The reactivity of nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution is less than benzene. More concentrated sulfuric and nitric acid is required for nitration of nitrobenzene. The temperature is also above
(c)
To determine: The reason for formation of major para substituted product during nitration of acetanilide.
Interpretation: The reason for formation of major para substituted product during nitration of acetanilide is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The reactivity of nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution is less than benzene. More concentrated sulfuric and nitric acid is required for nitration of nitrobenzene. The temperature is also above

- A greener alternative to bromination with elemental bromine is the reaction of the acetanilide with potassium bromide and ammonium ceric nitrate. How does this reaction work?arrow_forwardWhat are the various functions of phenolics and Give seperately industrial uses of phenolics. Answer two pagesarrow_forwardExplain why the treatment of anisole with HBr yields phenol and CH3Br, but not bromobenzene.arrow_forward
- Explain the Reaction of Organometallic Reagents with Epoxides ?arrow_forward2-bromo-2-methylbutane undergoes hydrolysis reaction with water, H2O toform compound W. Compound X and compound Y are produced when 2-bromo-2-methylbutane undergoes elimination reaction with alcoholic ofsodium hydroxide, NaOH.

(iii) Identify the major product of the elimination reaction between compound Xand compound Y based on Zaitsev’s rule.arrow_forwardgive the reagents for parts a-parrow_forward
- In an Electrophilic Aromatic Reaction explain: 1. why the –NHCOCH3 group in acetanilide is only moderately activating while the -NH2 group in aniline is strongly activating? 2.Also explain why in a Electrophilic Aromatic Reaction why potassium bromate is used in this reaction instead of Br2 directly?arrow_forwardExplain why hydroxide ion catalyzes the reaction of piperidine with 2,4-dinitroanisole but has no effect on the reaction of piperidine with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene.arrow_forwardUsing resonance structures of the intermediates, explain why bromination of biphenyl occurs at ortho and para positions rather than at meta.arrow_forward
- Nicotinic acid, more commonly named niacin, is one of the B vitamins. Show how nicotinic acid can be converted to (a) ethyl nicotinate and then to (b) nicotinamide.arrow_forwardAmino acids such as glycine are the building blocks of large molecules called proteins that give structure to muscle, tendon, hair, and nails. a.) Explain why glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atomsuncharged, but actually exists as a salt called a zwitterion. b.) What product is formed when glycine is treated with concentratedHCl?c.) What product is formed when glycine is treated with NaOH?arrow_forwardWhy do you wash the dichloromethane solution of your reductive amination product with sodium bicarbonate, rather than dilute aqueous HCl? a) Sodium bicarbonate is a good method of removing aldehydes from organic solvent.b) The amine product will be protonated by acid and remain in the aqueous layer as a salt.c) Sodium bicarbonate transfers the amine starting material into the aqueous layer.d) Sodium bicarbonate reacts with leftover NaBH(OAc)3 and removes it from the mixture.arrow_forward
