Question
Chapter 17, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The synthesis of compound
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acids on reaction with thionyl chloride results in the formation of acid chlorides.
Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction that reduces carbonyl group to alkyl group.
The clemmensen reduction can effect a similar conversion under strongly acidic conditions, and is useful if the starting material is base-labile.

Synthesize ethylbenzoate using benzoic acid and acetonitrile.
Quinolines, heterocyclic compounds that contain a pyridine ring fused to a benzene ring, are commonly synthesized by a method known as the Skraupsynthesis, in which aniline reacts with glycerol under acidic conditions. Nitrobenzene is added to the reaction mixture to serve as an oxidizing agent.The first step in the synthesis is the dehydration of glycerol to propenal.
a. What product would be obtained if para-ethylaniline were used instead of aniline?b. What product would be obtained if 3-hexen-2-one were used instead of glycerol?c. What starting materials are needed for the synthesis of 2,7-diethyl-3-methylquinoline?
Synthetize 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid from benzaldehyde using whatever
organic/inorganic reagents are needed.
3-phenyl-2-propenoic = 3-phenylacrylic acid
