- Nonearrow_forwardPhenacetin is an analgesic compound having molecular formula C10H13NO2. Once a common component in over-thecounter pain relievers such as APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), phenacetin is no longer used because of its liver toxicity. Deduce the structure of phenacetin from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forward(a) How will you convert:(i) Benzene to acetophenone (ii) Propanone to 2-Methylpropan-2-ol(b) Give reasons :(i) Electrophilic substitution in benzoic acid takes place at meta position.(ii) Carboxylic acids are higher boiling liquids than aldehydes, ketones and alcohols of comparable molecular masses.(iii) Propanal is more reactive than propanone in nucleophilic addition reactions.arrow_forward
- Compound H (C8H6O3) gives a precipitate when treated with hydroxylamine in aqueous ethanol and a silver mirror when treated with Tollens solution. Following is its 1H-NMR spectrum. Deduce the structure of compound H.arrow_forwardIn an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?arrow_forwardRank the compounds in each of the following groups in order of their reactivity to electrophilic substitution: (a) Nitrobenzene, phenol, toluene, benzene (b) Phenol, benzene, chlorobenzene, benzoic acid (c) Benzene, bromobenzene, benzaldehyde, anilinearrow_forward
