Chapter 12, Problem 53P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product should be identified for the given reaction.

Concept introduction:

Acetals: Generally Acetals are used to protect the ketone and aldehyde (carbonyl group).

In this reaction acetone is protected as acetal by using ethylene glycol. Generally acetals are less stable compound.

EP ESSENTIAL ORG.CHEM.-MOD.MASTERING   , Chapter 12, Problem 53P , additional homework tip  1

When a ketone reacts with a diol, the formation of cyclic ketal takes place. The reaction takes place in the presence of an acid catalyst.  An acid catalyst is to activate the carbonyl group. The nucleophile attacks the carbonyl group leading to the formation of oxonium ion. The oxonium ion is again attacked by the nucleophile to form the cyclic ketal. The cyclic ketal can be five-memebered or six-memebered depending upon the diol used in the reaction.

In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…
