  1. Name the following compounds:


a. e. h.

b. f. i.

c. g. j.

d.


  1. 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

  2. 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).


  1. 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?


  1. How could you use spectroscopy to distinguish among the following esters?

  2. 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.

  3. 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?


  1. 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
