- Draw line structures of the following compounds and the product you would obtain from the reduction of each.(a) Isopropyl methyl ketone (b) p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde(c) 2-Methylcyclopentanonearrow_forwardGive reasons: (i) Bond length of C = O in carboxylic acids is slightly larger than C = O bond length in carbonyl compounds. (ii) There are two –NH2 groups in semicarbazide. However, only one –NH2 group is involved in the formation of semicarbazones. (iii) Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid. (iv) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each compound.(a) o-nitroanisole (b) 2,4-dimethoxyphenol (c) p-aminobenzoic acid(d) 4-nitroanilinearrow_forward
- (a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Benzoic acid and Phenol (ii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone(b) An organic compound with molecular formula C5H10O does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Identify the compound and write all chemical equations for the reactions.arrow_forwardAnswer ALL parts of this question. (a) Compound Z is a tertiary aromatic amine with the formula, C8H11N. Provide a chemical structure for compound Z. (b) Provide a reaction scheme for the preparation of nitrous acid. (c) Draw the structure of the product formed exclusively when nitrous acid reacts with Z. (d) Give a curly arrow mechanism for the preparation of the yellow azo-dye from the reaction of Z with benzenediazonium chloride.arrow_forwardWrite down the reaction of acetaldehyde with the following.(b) 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (c) I2 / NaOHarrow_forward
- The compound acetophenone has a very similar molar mass to that of benzoic acid and benzamide. However, acetophenone has a much lower m.p. (20 °C) than both such that, by contrast, it is a liquid at room temperature. By considering intermolecular forces and comparing functional group structure, account for this big difference in physical properties.arrow_forward(a) Account for the following :(i) Propanal is more reactive than propanone towards nucleophilic reagents.(ii) Electrophilic substitution in benzoic acid takes place at meta position.(iii) Carboxylic acids do not give characteristic reactions of carbonyl group.(b) Give simple chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:(i) Acetophenone and benzaldehyde(ii) Benzoic acid and ethylbenzoate.arrow_forwardWrite chemical equations expressing each of the following: (a) Preparation of o-nitrophenyl acetate by sulfuric acid catalysis of the reaction between a phenol and an acid anhydride. (b) Esterification of 2-naphthol with acetic anhydride in aqueous sodium hydroxide (c) Reaction of phenol with benzoyl chloridearrow_forward
- Give the chemical tests to distinguish between following pair of compounds : (i) Propanol and propanone (ii) Ethyl acetate and methyl acetate (iii) Benzaldehyde and benzoic acid (iv) Benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde (v) Formic acid and acetic acid (vi) Propanal and propanol (vii) Ethanoic acid and ethylethanoatearrow_forward(a) Draw the structure of the following :(i) p-Methylbenzaldehyde (ii) 4-Methylpent-3-en-2-one(b) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Benzoic acid and Ethyl benzoate, (ii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone.(iii) Phenol and Benzoic acid.arrow_forwardGive reasons :(a) Aniline is a weaker base than cyclohexyl amine.(b) It is difficult to prepare pure amines by ammonolysis of alkyl halides.arrow_forward
