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.

Essential Organic Chemistry, Global Edition, 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.

QUESTION: Fill out the answers to the empty green boxes attached in the image.  *Ensure you all incorporate all 27 values (per column)*
You need to make a buffer by dissolving benzoic acid and sodium benzoate in water. What is the mass of benzoic acid that you would weigh out, in mg, to create 50 mL of a buffer at pH = 4.7 that will change pH no more than 0.10 units with the addition of 0.001 moles of acid or base? Enter just the answer without the units (mg) - just the number will do!
