Interpretation:
The products that are formed on the reaction of phosgene with excess of propan
Concept introduction:
Phosgene is an acid chloride of carbonic acid. The reaction of phosgene with an excess amount of an alcohol leads to the conversion of phosgene into an ester (dialkyl carbonate).

- Explain why the heat of neutralization involving acetic acid and hydroxidesodium is lower than the value found in the neutralization reaction involving hydrochloric acid and the sodium hydroxide.arrow_forwardAmino acids such as glycine are the building blocks of large molecule.called proteins that give structure to muscle, tendon, hair, and nails.a.Explain why glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atoms uncharged, but actually exists as a salt called a zwitterion. b.What product is formed when glycine is treated with concentrated HCl? c. What product is formed when glycine is treated with NaOH?arrow_forwardChapter 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_forward
- When synthesizing acetals and ketals, what is the main driving force behind whether the reaction favors the carbonyl species or the acetal/ketal? a the catalytic acid b solvent c temperature d Le Châtelier's Principlearrow_forwardDefine what is reduction reaction, reducing agents, weak and strong reducing agents sodium borohydride reduction with benzophenone and sodium borohyride to get benzophenonearrow_forwardA. The water solubility of amines found in medications can be increased by salt formation. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, a cough suppresant, is the salt formed from dextromethorphan (XX) and hydrobromic acid (HBr). Write the equation for the formation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide. B. Suggest appropriate starting materials ( amine and alkyl halide) needed for the preparation of each of the following salts: 1. Cetylpyridinium chloride 2. Benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloridearrow_forward
- A chemist wanted to synthesize the anesthetic 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropane. He used ethoxide ion and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane for his synthesis and ended up with no ether. What was the product of his synthesis? What reagents should he have used?arrow_forwardCarboxylic acids are acidic enough to dissolve in both 10% NaOH and NaHCO3. Phenols, ArOH, are weak acids and most phenols will not dissolve in 10% NaHCO3. How would you separate a mixture of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH), an amine (RNH2), a phenol (ArOH) and a hydrocarbon (RH) using chemically active extraction? Draw a flow chart to illustrate your separation. Show each species in the aqueous and organic layers.arrow_forwardWhat reagents could be used to reduce the nitro group ?arrow_forward
- 1. Compare the acidity of alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acid of comparable molecularweights.2. Compare the acidities of same concentrations of acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, cantrichloroacetic acid.3. Explain the structural effect influencing the acidity of phenol4. Compare the basicity of n-butylamine and diethylamine.arrow_forwardE.
