- a) M₂C. Step 4: c) 1H-NMR analysis of product A C D The hydrolysis of an emide involves the cleavage of the amide bond, which is a carbonyl group (C=0) bonded to a nitrogen atom. This reaction is typically catalyzed by an acid or a base. E Step 3: b)IR analysis of product A: The broad peaks in the range of 3500 cm³ to 2500cm* indicate O-H stretching frequency of COOH functional group... The strong, narrow peak around 1720 cm* indicates C=0 stretching frequency of COOH. The medium, sharp peak around 1600cm* indicates C-C stretching frequency of benzene ring Proton A: The small, broad peak around 12 ppm indicates O-H of COOH. Proton B and proton C: The doublets at 8.1ppm, 7.1ppm indicate di-substituted benzene. Proton D: The quartet at 2.4 ppm indicate CH₂ unit with adjacent CH₂ unit.

Using Br2 under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions :OH :OH Br-Br H3C H3C. Br Br CH₂ H₂ H3C CH3 H3C CH3 2barrow_forward
- Reaction of p-cresol with two equivalents of 2-methylprop-1-ene affords BHT, a preservative with molecular formula C15H24O. BHT gives the following 1H NMR spectral data: 1.4 (singlet, 18 H), 2.27 (singlet, 3 H), 5.0 (singlet, 1 H), and 7.0 (singlet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of BHT?

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-…arrow_forward
- When 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with a base, a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1- butene is produced. When potassium hydroxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 45% of the product mixture. However, when potassium tert-butoxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 70% of the product mixture. What percent of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in the mixture if potassium propoxide were the base? base Br A. Less than 45% B. C. 45% Between 45% and 70% D. More than 70%arrow_forwardIn an experiment, triphenylmethanol is prepared using the Grignard reaction. The Grignard reaction involves preparation and reaction of a very nucleophilic organo-magnesium compound. The Grignard reagent is very reactive and is easily destroyed by reaction with atmospheric water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The Grignard reagent must be prepared under strict anhydrous conditions (dry glassware, dry solvent). The volative solvent, diethyl ether, helps to prevent oxygen or carbon dioxide from entering the reaction vessel. Reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium in ether produces phenylmagnesium bromide. This Grignard reagent then reacts with methyl benzoate to produce the corresponding alkoxide. Reaction of the alkoxide with aqueous acid then produces the alcohol. Ethanol is often present in the technical grade of diethyl ether. If this grade rather than anhydrous were used, what effect, if any, would the ethanol have on the formation of the Grignard reagent?
