Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 52P
Mixing furan (Problem 13.44) with maleic anhydride in diethyl ether yields a crystalline solid with a melting point of 125°C. When melting of this compound takes place, however, one can notice that the melt evolves a gas. If the melt is allowed to resolidify, one finds that it no longer melts at 125°C but instead it melts at 56°C. Consult an appropriate chemistry handbook and provide an explanation for what is taking place.

You are given a mixture of benzoic acid, 2-naphthol and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and you are asked to separate the mixture into its following compounds. You are limited to using dichloromethane, pentane, cyclohexane and ethyl acetate as organic solvents. This doesn't involve solvents used to convert the 3 compounds to ionic salts. Suggest possible organic solvents and explain a procedure you would carry out to separate the 3 mixtures briefly.
A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as
compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through
various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same
molecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of
these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an
organic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K can
be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for
compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions,
they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror
when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not.
Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring
their position isomerism.
Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K.
Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-…
Some alcohols undergo rearrangement or other unwanted side reactions when they dehydrate in acid. Alcohols may be dehydrated under mildly basic conditions using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in pyridine. The alcohol reacts with phosphorus oxychloride much like it reacts with tosyl chloride, displacing a chloride ion from phosphorus to give an alkyl dichlorophosphate ester. The dichlorophosphate group is an outstanding leaving group. Pyridine reacts as a base with the dichlorophosphate ester to give an E2 elimination. Propose a mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol by POCl3 in pyridine.
