Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The phthalic anhydride is prepared from the phthalamic acid with the help of curved-arrow notation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Anhydrides are prepared when a carboxylic acid is reacted with a strong dehydrating agent like phosphorus pentoxide. Cyclic anhydrides are formed by two methods. In one method, a dicarboxylic acid is treated with acetic anhydride and in second method, a dicarboxylic acid fuses into cyclic anhydride on heating.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The intermediacy of phthalic anhydride on the basis of double labeling experiment is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the water molecule breaks the bond between two or more molecules in a compound. The term generally used is for the elimination and substitution reaction in which water molecule act as a nucleophile.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason so as to why the formation of phthalic anhydride from phthalamic acid results in a large rate acceleration is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the water molecule breaks the bonds between two or more molecules in a compound. The term is generally used for the elimination and substitution reaction in which water molecule acts as a nucleophile.

Give reasons :(i) Electrophilic substitution in aromatic amines takes place more readily than benzene.(ii) CH3CONH2 is weaker base than CH3CH2NH2.
The protonated form of aniline has a pk, of about 4.6. At what pH would you expect the species to exist predominantly in the protonated (cationic) form? At what pH would you expect it to exist predominantly in the uncharged form? At what pH would you expect an equal NH3 pKa = 4.6 mixture of the two forms?
Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN.  For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.
