Chapter 22, Problem 1E

Can you show the mechanism (arrows) of the last "decomposition" step with water, ROH, and heat?

Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Follow the arrows and draw the missing intermediates and product formed in this reaction. Include all lone-pairs. Ignore any inorganic byproducts

In most distillations, the total volume of liquid obtained (distillate + residue) is possible sources of loss in this procedure?

Should be an acid-catalyzed hydration with carbocation rearrangement

answer 6 and 7 (show movement of electrons, reagents, etc)

Could you please explain why the top reaction is faster than the bottom reaction and could you include drawings to accompany the explanation?

Since there are 2 reagents you have a choice for “loading up” one of then to drive a reaction. Briefly explain why “loading up” on one reagents drives the reaction while the other one would decrease the overall yield. The procedure is below and the reaction is attached.   Procedure Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone (A) In this lab you will need to determine the amounts of the reactants you will use. We will use 0.0125 moles of acetone. You need to: (1) convert this into a volume in mL, (2) Calculate the number of moles of benzaldehyde needed based on the balanced chemical reaction, (3) Convert the number of moles of benzaldehyde into volume in mL. Your reagent table should reflect your calculated values.     Mix the benzaldehyde and acetone based on the volumes from your prelab calculations in a testtube. Add 25 mL of 10% NaOH solution to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask along with a stir bar and 20 mL of ethanol. Make sure the temperature of the solution in the flask is below 25 C before…

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Identify the type of reaction based on the net transformation.

Why is it important to thoroughly vortex the contents of the vial after adding reagent 4 (Steps 3 and 4., stage 1).   To ensure that the two immiscible solvents come into contact with each other, permitting the derivatization reactions to occur.   B.To ensure that the solution is mixed thoroughly.   To ensure that all the amino acids are transferred to the lower aqueous layer so that a full extraction occurs.   To remove all the interferring compounds by transferring them to the upper organic layer   Hint: Reagent 4 is the derivatizing agent dissolved in octane.
