A reasonable explanation is to be provided for each of the listed observations. Concept introduction: Boiling point of a compound depends on the strength of intermolecular forces between its molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, higher the boiling point. The strength of different types of intermolecular forces in covalent compounds varies as dispersion forces < dipole-dipole interactions < hydrogen bonds . Addition to a planar sp 2 hybride reaction center will result in a mixture of isomers when the reagent can approach it unhindered from either sides. Quaternary ammonium hydoxides undergo E2 elimination. Primary amines are diazotized when treated with an acidic solution of sodium nitrate. Diazo compounds are unstable and decompose easily to produce a carbocation. Primary carbocation can undergo rearrangement if it results in a more stable secondary or tertiary carbocation.

Complete the following table. The only density needed is already given. Show your calculations in a neat and easy-to-follow manner in the space below the table. All units should be included and significant figures should be given close attention. Be sure to notice that the amount of material should be in millimoles rather than moles, and the theoretical mass of the product should in milligrams rather than grams.

Kumada Coupling: 1. m-Diisobutylbenzene below could hypothetically be synthesized by Friedel-Crafts reaction. Write out the reaction with a mechanism and give two reasons why you would NOT get the desired product. Draw the reaction (NOT a mechanism) for a Kumada coupling to produce the molecule above from m-dichlorobenzene. Calculate the theoretical yield for the reaction in question 2 using 1.5 g of p-dichlorobenzene and 3.0 mL isobutyl bromide. What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material? What other impurities are present in your product and how do you know?

Wintergreen from Aspirin: 1. In isolating the salicylic acid, why is it important to press out as much of the water as possible? 2. Write the mechanism of the esterification reaction you did. 3. What characteristic absorption band changes would you expect in the IR spectrum on going from aspirin to salicyclic acid and then to methyl salicylate as you did in the experiment today? Give approximate wavenumbers associated with each functional group change. What signals appeared/disappeared/shifted that indicate that you have your intended product and not starting material?
