Provide a mechanism (using curly arrows) for the Fischer esterification of p-bromobenzoic acid with sulphuric acid and methanol

Two reactions occur when sodium hydroxide is added to methyl salicylate. One is immediate and one only occurs with reflux over time. What type of reaction occurs immediately and with which functional group on methyl salicylate does it react? What type of reaction occurs with reflux over time and with which functional group on methyl salicylate does it react?

Chemistry Show how to prepare N-ethylpropanamide from propanoic acid at or below room temperature .       Use standard conventions to write a mechanism for the intramolecular Fischer esterification of 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst, H-A.

Describe two synthetic routes for the preparation of p-methoxyaniline from benzene

Draw the acid-catalyzed mechanism of esterification forming ethyl acetate from acetic acid and ethanol

What is the structure of the compound formed when 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde reacts with 4-cyanophenyl hydrazine hydrochloride?

Both pentane-2,4-dione and ethyl acetoacetate have two carbonyl groups separated by a single carbon atom. Although an equilibrium mixture of pentane-2,4-dione tautomers contains 76% of the enol forms, an equilibrium mixture of ethyl acetoacetate tautomers contains only 8% of the enol forms. Suggest a reason for this difference.

Ph3P-CHCH3 H₂C H3C Aldehydes and ketones are converted into alkenes by means of a direct nucleophilic addition called the Wittig reaction. In the reaction, a triphenylphosphorine ylide, also called a phosphorane, adds to an aldehyde/ketone to give a four-membered cyclic intermediate called an oxaphosphetane. The oxaphosphetane is not isolated but instead spontaneously decomposes to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene. CH3 00 + The ylide is formed by reaction of triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, with a primary alkyl halide in an SN2 reaction, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a strong base, such as butyllithium. The carbonyl carbon and the carbon originally bonded to the halogen become the two carbons with the double bond in the product alkene X m CH3 The real value of the Wittig reaction lies in its ability to yield an alkene of predictable structure, as the C=C bond is precisely where the C=O bond was in the reactant and no isomers (other than E/Z isomers)…
