Chapter 11.13, Problem 25P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The alkyl halide that is used to form the given carboxylic acid has to be identified.

Concept introduction: The reaction of alkyl halides with sodium cyanide gives alkyl cyanides or nitriles. After the reaction there is increase incarbon atoms of the alkyl chain of alkyl halide. The nitriles obtained undergo hydrolysis reaction in presence of acid and gives carboxylic acid. The general reaction of alkyl halides and sodum cyanide is written as:

PLEASE help. Locate a literature IR spectrum of eugenol. Insert the literature spectrum here:  What conclusions can you draw about your clove oil from these IR spectra? I attached my data below
please help and the percent recovery of clove oil from cloves is 4.61% and i have attached my ir spectrum as well. Based on your GC data, how many components are in the clove oil? Calculate the percentage of each component. Clearly show your work. Which of the components corresponds to eugenol? How do you know? Is eugenol the major component?
please help and i am so confused if the picture is the gc data or ir spectrum. you dont have to do everything just what you can please because i am lost and the mass of the cloves was Mass of cloves 62.299g. Mass of recovered clove oil 62.761g.
