- 18-47 Methylparaben and propylparaben are used as preservatives in foods, beverages, and cosmetics. Show how each of these preservatives can be prepared from 4-aminobenzoic acid.arrow_forward18-31 Formic acid is one of the components responsible for the sting of biting ants and is injected under the skin by bee and wasp stings. The pain can be relieved by rubbing the area of the sting with a paste of baking soda (NaHCO3) and water, which neutralizes the acid. Write an equation for this reaction.arrow_forward18-29 Complete the equations for these acid—base reactions. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)arrow_forward
- 8 (Chemical Connections 19C) Once it has been opened, and particularly if it has been left open to the air, a bottle of aspirin may develop a vinegar-like odor. Explain how this might happen.arrow_forward18-48 4-Aminobenzoic acid is prepared from benzoic acid by the following two steps. Show reagents and experimental conditions to bring about each step.arrow_forward18-19 The following compounds have approximately the same molecular weight: hexanoic acid, heptanal, and 1-heptanol. Arrange them in order of increasing boiling point.arrow_forward
- 8 In Chapter 22, we will discuss a class of compounds called amino acids, so named because they contain both an amino group and a carboxyl group. Following is a structural formula for the amino acid alanine. What would you expect to be the major form of alanine present in aqueous solution (a) at pH 2.0, (b) at pH 5—6, and (c) at pH 11.0? Explain.arrow_forward18-15 Draw a structural formula for the dimer formed when two molecules of formic acid interact by hydrogen bonding.arrow_forward2 (Chemical Connections 19A) Locate the ester group in pyrethrin I and draw a structural formula for chrysanthemic acid, the carboxylic acid from which this ester is derived.arrow_forward
- Using the data in Appendix C, determine which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate acetonitrile (CH3CN), so that equilibrium favors the products: (a) NaH; (b) Na2CO3; (c) NaOH; (d) NaNH2; (e) NaHCO3.arrow_forwardDraw the molecules involved in the synthesis of aspirin. Is the forward reaction hydrolysis or condensation? Is the reverse reaction hydrolysis or condensation? Describe what occurs un each type of reaction with respect to acetylsalicylic acid.arrow_forward(a) What is the difference between the hormones progesterone and testosterone? (b) Draw the structure of a a steroid nucleus. (c) Give the products obtained from complete base hydrolysis in the following reaction: O || CH,−O−C−(CH2)14–CH3 O CH–0–C−(CH2)14—CH3 + 3 NaOH O CH,−0–C−(CH2)14–CH3arrow_forward
