8. Compare the reactivity of methyl benzoate and phenol under bromination conditions. Classify each asan activating or deactivating group and explain your reasoning. Hint: draw out the complete structure ofeach showing all lone pairs.9. Show all the resonance structures for methyl benzoate. Using these resonance structures, explainwhether the substituent is an ortho, para directing group or meta directing group.10. Using acetanilide, which is an activating group, show the mechanism for para addition. Include allresonance structures. Explain why para addition, like ortho addition, is favored when an activating groupis on the ring.11. Based on your knowledge of reactivity of substituted aromatic compounds, what do you hypothesizewill be the major product of the competitive nitration reaction (methyl benzoate)?

a) What are the correct 1st (involving HCl) and 2nd step (involving NaOH)? Draw out reaction. b) How would you change the reaction conditions to ensure you obtained the planned final product as the major product?
Draw the reaction you will complete in lab. Although you will not know the actual ester you will make until you come to lab, for the purposes of this question you can assume you will make propyl acetate. Use the proper arrow drawing convention to show all bond making and bond breaking steps in the reaction. Include all intermediates, including resonance structures.
Maxwell presented by Macmillan Learning Complete the mechanism for the decarboxylation given by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbonding electrons, and curved arrows. Do not delete any pre-drawn bonds, charges, or lone pairs. If you accidentally delete a vital part of the structure, click the undo button in the lower left. Step 1: add curved arrows. Step 2: complete the structure and add curved arrows. Select Draw Rings More Erase Select Draw Rings More Erase Reset Drawing Create Bonds and Atoms 1L
For each reaction, decide whether the reaction is a redox reaction, acid-base reaction, electrophile- nucleophile, or something else. One can begin to identify the type of reaction by looking to see if oxidation numbers of atoms that take part in the reaction change during the reaction. You will need to draw out the structures. a. If the reaction is considered an acid- base reaction, draw out the full mechanism for the reaction. Be sure to indicate which compound is the acid, base, and conjugate acid and base (where possible). b. If the reaction is considered a redox reaction, be sure to indicate which species are oxidized and which are reduced. c. For every reaction you will need to justify your identification of the type of reaction.
