- Name the following compounds:
a. e. h.
b. f. i.
c. g. j.
d.
- What products would be formed from the reaction of benzoyl chloride with the following reagents?
a. sodium acetate e. aqueous NaOH h. 4-chlorophenol
b. water f. cyclohexanol i. isopropyl alcohol
c. dimethylamine g. benzylamine j. aniline
d. aqueous HCl - a. List the following esters in order of decreasing reactivity in the first step of a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction (formation
of the tetrahedral intermediate):
b. List the same esters in order of decreasing reactivity in the second step of a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction (collapse of
the tetrahedral intermediate).
- a. Which compound would you expect to have a higher dipole moment, methyl acetate or butanone?
b. Which would you expect to have a higher boiling point?
- How could you use spectroscopy to distinguish among the following esters?
- If propionyl chloride is added to one equivalent of methylamine, only a 50% yield of N-methylpropanamide is obtained. If,
however, the acyl chloride is added to two equivalents of methylamine, the yield of N-methylpropanamide is almost 100%.
Explain these observations. - a. When a carboxylic acid is dissolved in isotopically labeled water the label is incorporated into both oxygens of the
acid. Propose a mechanism to account for this.
b. If a carboxylic acid is dissolved in isotopically labeled methanol and an acid catalyst is added, where will the label
reside in the product?
- What reagents would you use to convert methyl propanoate into the following compounds?
a. isopropyl propanoate c. N-ethylpropanamide
b. sodium propanoate d. propanoic acid
