Interpretation: The differences observed in the IR and NMR spectra of 4-methyl-2-pentalol and the various methylpentenes in dehydration reaction needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: The analysis of the interaction of infrared light with a molecule is termed as infrared spectroscopy. The main use of infrared spectroscopy is the identification of
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a spectroscopy technique that works on the basis that the nucleus of the atoms absorbs

- What is the theoretical yield and limiting reagent for the reaction of benzophenone with sodium borohydride to form diphenyl methanol as described in the experiment provided if you begin with 1.75g of benzophenone in 25 mL of 95% ethanol and add 0.75 g of sodium borohydride portion wise over 45 minutes?arrow_forwardInterpret the results of the UV-vis spectra and briefly explain why the 3-phenylpropionaldehyde compound did not peak but the others did (hint: conjugated system).arrow_forwardWhat changes in NMR and IR spectra would you expect to see upon acylation of benzene? Explicitly discuss the elements of the 1H NMR and IR of acetophenone that you would use to argue that the reaction was successful.arrow_forward
- Why is the ether layer containing naphthalene washed with saturated sodium chloride after completely extracting the acid and base components of a mixture? Group of answer choices To remove trapped water. To remove possible 3-nitroaniline impurity. To remove possible benzoic acid impurity. To remove excess diethyl ether.arrow_forward1. Occasionally, a crossed Cannizzaro reaction is carried out to reduce benzaldehyde derivatives to the corresponding benzyl alcohol, utilizing formaldehyde as the reducing agent. i) Please show the mechanism by which this occurs.arrow_forwardHow would you use IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy to distinguish between these two isomeric compounds? For IR, consider the absorption of the carbonyl group. For ¹H-NMR, consider the number of signals observed. Select the IR frequency and number of NMR signals that is diagnostic for either isomer a or isomer b. Isomer A: cyclopentanecarboxamide Isomer B: 6-hydroxyhexanenitrile IR: ¹H-NMR: cm-1. a-4 a-5 b-3 b-4 b-5 b-6 signals a-1680 a-1690 a-1735 a-1810 a-2250 b-1650 b-1690 b-1710 b-2250 24arrow_forward
- o - Nitroaniline is more soluble in ethanol than p - nitroaniline. Propose a scheme by which a pure sample of o-nitroaniline might be obtained from this reactionarrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the reaction of benzoic acid with hydroxide ion. Why is it necessary to extract the ether layer with sodium hydroxide?arrow_forwardUse the space provided below to draw a flow chart showing how you could separate a mixture containing propylamine, p-sec-butylphenol, o-bromobenzoic acid, and 2- pentanone. Use structures of these four compounds and ions from chemically active extraction of these compounds to show what happens during separation.arrow_forward
