We used "dry" dichloromethane this week, where all water was removed from solvent by first adding a chemical absorbent then distilling the solvent. Why did we need to ensure no water was in the reaction? Choose TWO of the following that are true. (hint: think about the reaction mechanism and what could happen if water were present) water could behave as a nucleophile and perform a "hydrolysis" reaction on pthalic anhydride, so the intended reaction would not proceed water would decompose the catalyst, so the intended reaction would not proceed water would behave as an electrophile and would be attacked by p-xylene, so the intended reaction would not proceed even a little water would lower solubility of reactants dramatically

Please help me with this question, it's urgent The reaction shown below does not follow the expected theory. Given what you learned about substitution/elimination, what is the expected mechanism this reaction should follow? Suggest why that is not what happens and give the actual product of the reaction.
The conjugate base of diethyl malonate can serve as a nucleophile to attack a wide range of electrophiles. Identify the product that is formed when the conjugate base of diethyl malonate reacts with the following electrophile followed by acid workup when relevant: Modify the provided structures of diethyl malonate and the given electrophile to draw the product formed. Note: the eraser tool can be used to erase bonds, and atoms can be moved by selecting them with the selector tool and then dragging the selected atom(s) to a new position. If you make a mistake, you can use Ctrl-Z or the Undo tool. OH -CH₂ CH₂ Edit Drawing
I already tried the fourth answer, but that was incorrect.
The compound below is treated with N- bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of light. 어 Draw both resonance structures for the radical produced by reaction of the compound with a bromine atom. Assume reaction occurs only at the weakest C-H bond. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Separate resonance structures using the → symbol from the drop-down menu. • Include all valence radical electrons in your answer.

An organic chemistry experiment involves a nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction using 1-iodobutane and 2-naphthoxide ion. The 2-naphthoxide ion is generated from 2-naphthol and sodium hydroxide in an ethanol solvent. The experiment includes steps like generating the nucleophile, conducting the SN2 reaction, and analyzing the product using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Question: On the 1H NMR spectra (attached), draw the structure of the product and assign the peaks. Label the unique protons with different letters and write those same letters by the peaks in the NMR spectrum.

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.
