Question

Draw the products, what is the theoretical yield?

Procedure from literature reference
In a well ventilated fume hood, gradually add 2.5 g of phenylacetic acid to a 50 mL round bottom flask containing
25 mL of nitric acid (90% or 70%). During the addition process, keep the temperature of the reaction mixture between
25°-35°C. When all the phenylacetic acid has been added to the nitric acid, heat the reaction mixture at reflux for
approximately one hour. Allow the reaction mixture to cool to room temperature, and pour the contents of the round
bottom flask into 35- 40 mL of ice-water. Collect the precipitated product (crystallization may need to be induced) via
suction filtration, wash with a minimum amount of cold water, and allow the crystals to dry in the suction funnel for
at least 15-20 minutes.
Perform an acid-base titration on your nitration product to obtain its neutralization equivalent. In a 125 mL
Erlenmeyer flask, dissolve approximately 0.2 g of nitration product whose mass is known to three decimal places in
approximately 20 mL of a 1:1 (v/v) ethanol/water mixture. Add a drop or two of phenolphthalein indicator. Titrate the
resulting solution with standardized NaOH solution (~0.1N, accurate to three decimal places) to a faint pink end point.
Compute the nitration product's neutralization equivalent using the equation provided.
Acquire 'H NMR of both product I and product II. Acquire melting points of both product I and II. Acquire an
IR of product II.
