|
|
The product, benzopinacolone, form is a ___ rxn
|
B form
|
|
To calculate the yield of the product- what is the limiting reagent?
|
Benzopinacol
|
|
What is the oxidizing agent in the following rxn?
Borneol --NaOCl/Ch3COOH--> Camphor --NaBH4--> Isoborneol |
Sodium hypochlorite
|
|
In the reduxn of camphor by NaBH4, 2 diastereoisomers are obtained- with what product?
|
more exo product
|
|
Which spectroscopy will be more useful and quickest to infer oxidxn of borneol to camphor?
|
IR spectroscopy
|
|
Which spectroscopy will be more useful in determining the ratio of exo & endo product in rxn of camphor by NaBH4?
|
H NMR spectroscopy
|
|
In the reduxn experiment of camphor to isoborneol - NaBH4 is used over LiAlH4 because?
|
It is easier to handle
|
|
What conclusion can we draw from the stereochemistry of isoborneol?
|
Hydride is delivered to the endo face of camphor.
|
|
What do we measure in an infrared spectrum?
|
vibrational frequencies of chem bonds
|
|
What peak will disappear from the IR of camphor when it is reduced by NaBH4?
|
the peak at 2100-2200
|
|
In the Tollen's test for the aldehyde, the shinning on the test tube comes from the formation of what?
|
Silver metal
|
|
What's the electrophile bromination of anisole?
|
Br2
|
|
Why is anisole more reactive to electrophilic bromination than benzene?
|
The oxygen atom in anisole stabilizes the intermediate due to e- donation thru resonance.
|
|
Why does anisole undergo electrophilic substitution rather than addition when treated with Br?
|
the aromatic ring is very stable thus this stability is lost in an addition rxn.
|
|
What is the major product of dibromonation of anisole?
|
OCH3-Aromatic Ring-Br-Br
|
|
What's the active electrophile in the electrophilic nitration of methyl benzoate?
|
NO2+
|
|
Why is methyl benzoate less reactive to electrophilic nitration than benzene?
|
The ester group in methyl benzoate destabilizes the intermediate due to e- withdrawl thru resonance.
|
|
Why does the methyl benzoate undergo meta substitution rather than para when treated with bromine?
|
Meta groes through the most stable intermediate cation
|
|
Why does nitration of methyl benzoate give only monosubstitution and no di or tri-substitution?
|
the nitro group is strongly deactivation due to e- withdrawl thru resonance
|
|
What is the 1st step in base-catalyzed aldol condensation?
|
depronation of alpha carbon
|
|
What's the last step in base-catalyzed aldol condensation?
|
elimation of H2O
|
|
What intermediate elimates water in aldol condensation to give an alpha, beta-unsat.ketone?
|
Beta-hydroxy ketone
|
|
What's the 1st step in mech. of the rxn bw p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride to form acetaminophen?
|
Nucleophilic addition of p-aminophenol to acetic anhydride to form a tetrahedral intermediate.
|
|
What's the last step in mech. of the rxn bw p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride to form acetaminophen?
|
proton transfer from protonated amide to acetate anion
|
|
How does sodium hydrosulfite remove the colored impurities in the crude acetaminophen?
|
by a redox rxn
|
|
How will you purify your acetaminophen after you decolorize it
|
by recrystallization
|
|
what kind of substance is acetaminophen?
|
analgesic
|
|
In chlorosulfonation of acetanilide, why do we protect aniline?
|
aniline is more nucleophilic than the aromatic ring - so it will attack chlorosulfonic acid 1st;
aniline would be protonated by chlorosulfonic acid and turn to a meta directing group; acetamido group is bulkier and favors P and O substitution |
|
What is the 1st step in the mechanism of chlorosulfonation of acetanilide?
|
Electrophilicattack of chlorosulfonic acid para to the acetamido group acetanilide.
|
|
What is the 1st step in conversion of sulfonyl chloride to sulfonamide?
|
Nucelophilic attack of ammonia at the sulfonyl chloride
|
|
How do we remove the acetate protecting group from sulfanilamide?
|
by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis
|
|
What is a hazardous reagent?
|
chlorosulfonic acid
|
|

|
|
What aton is protonated at the the first step in the mech.?
|
the carbonyl oxygen atom of the carboxylic acid
|
