EBK GENERAL CHEMISTRY
- Lipoic acid is required by many microorganisms for proper growth. As a disulfide, it functions in the living system by catalyzing certain oxidation reactions and is reduced in the process. Write the structure of the reduction product.arrow_forwardDescribe bromination of aromatic compounds. How do aromatic compounds undergo bromination reactions? What is the green way of brominating aromatic compounds?arrow_forwardA student is asked to prepare methyl salicylate from salicylic acid and methanol. How would the student have to set up this reaction?arrow_forward
- Hydration of aldehydes and ketones can be catalyzed by acid or base. Bases catalyze hydration by: protonating the carbonyl oxygen making the carbonyl group more electrophilic employing hydroxide ion, which is a better nucleophile than water making the carbonyl group less electrophilic shifting the equilibrium position of the reaction to favor productsarrow_forwardDescribe the acidity of different carboxylic acids and predict the products obtained when they react with strong bases.arrow_forwardExplain by the equation how cyclohexane can be obtained from benzene?arrow_forward
- Phenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Predict the solubility of this phenol in water.arrow_forwardWhat are the environmental affects of converting carbon dioxide in to methanol?arrow_forwardBenzaldehyde and anisole are aromatic compounds. 1) Write the chemical equation for nitration reaction of benzaldehyde.2) Illustrate the structural formula of products formed for sulfonation of anisole.arrow_forward
- What is the chemical equation of the reaction of Ethanol with Acetic acid in the presence of sulfuric acidarrow_forwardUpon completion of a chemical reaction, you find you have a mixture of benzoic acid and ethyl benzoate. Propose a procedure to separate the ethyl benzoate from the mixture. You should look up the structures of benzoic acid and ethyl benzoate.arrow_forwardWhich of the following molecules can be at least 50% deprotonated in water? - alcohol - carboxylic acid - acetyl acetone - acetonearrow_forward
