Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atoms uncharged, but actually exist as a salt called zwitterion is to be explained.
Concept introduction: The dipolar ion that possesses two or more than two functional groups in which one group has positive charge and other group has negative charge is known as zwitter ion. In zwitter ion, the net charge is always equals to zero.
(b)
Interpretation: The product formed by the reaction of glycine with concentrated
Concept introduction: An atom or a group of atoms that shows characteristic physical and chemical properties are collectively known as functional groups. The functional group is the most reactive part present in the molecule. The main functional groups are
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, the species that easily accept the proton is known as base and the species that easily donate the proton is known as acid. The reaction of an acid with a base always leads to the formation of conjugate acid and base.
(c)
Interpretation: The product formed by the reaction of glycine with
Concept introduction: An atom or a group of atoms that shows characteristic physical and chemical properties are collectively known as functional groups. The functional group is the most reactive part present in the molecule. The main functional groups are
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, the species that easily tends to accept the proton is known as base and the species that easily donate the proton is known as acid. The reaction of an acid with a base always leads to the formation of conjugate acid and base.

- a. Give at least three characteristics of dichloromethane that makes it a good extracting solvent for the alkaloid.b. Why is it necessary to remove a stopper from a separatory funnel when the liquid is being drained from it through a stopcock?c. What are emulsions? Why do they form during extractions? How is the formation of an emulsion minimized? How are emulsions removed?arrow_forwardWhat reagents could be used to reduce the nitro group ?arrow_forwardThe reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols. a. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols? b. Provide an explanation for why an amide is less susceptible to nucleophilic attack than its corresponding ester.arrow_forward
- Chapter 1 (Carbonyl compounds I) Explain how the class I carbonyl compound reacts? What will be the product when ethylamine and propyl amine reacts with acetyl chloride? Why only one amide obtained after the reaction of acetyl chloride with a mixture of ethylamine and trimethylamine? Excess amine is required in the reaction of acetyl chloride with amine whereas excess alcohol is not required in the reaction of acetyl chloride and alcohol. Why? List the following ester in order of decreasing reactivities towards hydrolysis with reason: Methyl benzoate, p-nitro methyl benzoate and p-methoxy methyl benzoate The reaction of an ester with an amine is not as slow as the reaction of an ester with water or an alcohol. Explain with reason. Explain why the rate of aminolysis of an ester cannot be increased by H+, OH- or OR-. How can you activate the carboxylic acid? Is acid catalyzed hydrolysis of acetamide a reversible or an irreversible reaction. Explain. Chapter 2 (Carbonyl compounds II)…arrow_forwardwhy pyrazole is more basic than pyridine?arrow_forwarda. What two amides are obtained from the reaction of acetyl chloride with an equivalent of ethylamine and an equivalent of propylamine?b. Why is only one amide obtained from the reaction of acetyl chloride with an equivalent of ethylamine and an equivalent of triethylamine?arrow_forward

The nitroprusside test is a test for the detection of methyl ketones. What are the reagents used for the Nitroprusside test? b. Give the color of the positive result? c. Color of the negative result?arrow_forward
- When ethyl acetate and sodium bicarbonate were mixed together, clumping of solid was observed. Did ethyl acetate react with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)? Why or why not?arrow_forwardQuinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction?
