Introduction
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions involve an a hydrogen attached to an aromatic ring being replaced by an electrophile. In this experiment, Friedel-Crafts alkylation will occur between an unknown tertiary alcohol and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. This is an activated electron-
rich aromatic system. The electrophilic part of this reaction is a carbocation, therefore; carbocation rearrangements can occur. This can result in a mixture of products. The benzene ring acts as the nucleophile. Because the resulting product is more activated than the original material, dialkylation can occur. II.

The signals at 3071 and 1610 cm-1 indicate the presence of a benzene ring. The signal at about 1260 cm-1 indicates a C-O stretch. d.
IR spectra Unknown
The signals at 3000, 1600, and 1500 cm-1 as w3ell as overtone indicate a benzene ring. The signal at 1300 cm-1 indicates a methyl group. e.
HNMR Spectra Unknown
Because the product is known to be dialkylated, the presence of a signal at 6.7 with 2 hydrogens suggest a tetra substituted benzene ring. The singlet with 6 protons belongs to the protons on the methoxy group. The singlet with 12 protons belongs to the two methyl groups on the tertiary alcohol. The multiplet with 4 hydrogens are the hydrogens attached to the inner carbon of the tertiary alcohol. The multiplet with 6 hydrogens indicates the methyl groups on the end of the tertiary alcohol. f.

Discussion and Conclusion
The unknown tertiary alcohol was found to be 2-methylbutan-2-ol. Once this was discovered the final product was determined to be 1,4dimethoxy-2,5-di-tert-pentylbenzene. This was concluded by using the unique signals on the unknown alcohol’s HNMR spectrum. The HNMR showed a tetra substituted benzene ring which indicated the product was dialkylated. The limiting reagent for this experiment was the 1,4-diemthoxybenzene. This led to a percent yield of 55.2%. This is slightly low which could be attributed to the reaction not being given ample time to react. Also, product was left behind between transfers of reaction flask to filtration apparatus. X.

A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.

The reaction below is known as the haloform reaction. Why do only methyl ketones form a haloform? Explain using both chemical structures and words.

Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can
abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process
known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by
losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl (
-OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a
nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions.
However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols
and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation
depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the
alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a
proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols
lose a proton more easily.
Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol.
Check all that apply.

Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.

synthesis without the guidance of his superlatively handsome instructor, Arwil Nathaniel Alfonso ©. He
prepared five organic solvents: 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 2-pentanone, benzaldehyde, and m-cresol but he
didn't put any label in any of these. Meanwhile, Ryan used the solvents she prepared and placed back in
different order. Knowing Christian would punch Ryan in his digestive tract because there is a possible
explosion. Prepare a systematic flow chart of qualitative tests to help Ryan to label the solvents before
Christian used the organic solvents.
