Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are strong organic acids. They undergo acid-base reaction with amines to yield an ammonium salt of carboxylate anion. It is a single step reaction.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are strong organic acids. They undergo acid-base reaction with amines to yield an ammonium salt of carboxylate anion. Further heating at high temperature (greater than 100°C) dehydrates the obtained ammonium salt to amide. Water is removed as the by-product.
Interpretation Introduction
(c)
Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The full form of DCC is dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. It is a dehydrating agent. The treatment of carboxylic acid with an amine and DCC leads to the formation of an amide and dicyclohexylurea as the by-product, (formed when small amount of H2O is added).
