**Question 10:****Write an equation for the reaction of n-propyl magnesium chloride and butanal (Not 3-methylbutanal).****Why was it important to have dry equipment that was heated in the oven and a drying tube placed on top of the condenser for the above-mentioned reaction? Explain.****Explanation:**In the reaction between n-propyl magnesium chloride and butanal, it is crucial to use dry equipment and to ensure all apparatus is free from moisture. The reason for this is that Grignard reagents like n-propyl magnesium chloride are highly reactive with water. The presence of water can hydrolyze the Grignard reagent, forming alkanes and rendering the reagent ineffective for the desired reaction with butanal. To maintain an anhydrous environment, equipment should be dried in an oven to remove any moisture. Additionally, a drying tube is placed on top of the condenser to prevent atmospheric moisture from entering the reaction setup. The drying tube typically contains a desiccant, such as calcium chloride or silica gel, which absorbs moisture from the air entering the apparatus.Therefore, ensuring dry conditions is essential to preserve the reactivity of the Grignard reagent and to achieve the desired product in the reaction between n-propyl magnesium chloride and butanal.

The given reaction involve the nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagent (n-propyl magnesium…

In the lab for the synthesis of methyl m-nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate using HNO3 and H2SO4 via EAS, the product is recrystallized to remove impurities using 95% ethanol. Would o-nitrobenzoate and methyl p-nitrobenzoate be considered impurities? If that is so, how come ethanol can remove o-nitrobenzoate and methyl p-nitrobenzoate, but has no effect on m-nitrobenzoate? Thank you.
