Interpretation Introduction

a) Ethyl pentanoate

Interpretation:

Whether ethyl pentanoate can be prepared by malonic ester synthesis is to be stated. If so the alkyl halide to be used is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Malonic ester synthesis is used to prepare carboxylic acids from alkyl halides. The ester is converted into its enolate ion which then attacks the alkyl halide. Hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the alkylated product yield the carboxylic acid which has two carbon extra than the alkyl halide. The acid can then be converted into ester by treating with ethanol in the presence of HCl.

To state:

Whether ethyl pentanoate can be prepared by malonic ester synthesis and to indicate the alkyl halide to be used.

Interpretation Introduction

b) Ethyl 3-methylbutanoate

Interpretation:

Whether ethyl 3-methylbutaonate can be prepared by malonic ester synthesis is to be stated. If so the alkyl halide to be used is to be stated.

To state:

Whether ethyl 3-methylbutanoate can be prepared by malonic ester synthesis and to indicate the alkyl halide to be used.

Interpretation Introduction

c) Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate

Interpretation:

Modify the given carbon skeleton to draw the major product of the following reaction. If a racemic mixture of enantiomers is expected, draw both enantiomers. Note: you can select a structure and use Copy and Paste to save drawing time. HBr کی CH3 کی Edit Drawing
Sort the following into the classification for a reaction that is NOT at equilibrium versus a reaction system that has reached equilibrium. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. View Available Hint(s) The forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate. Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state. The ratio of products to reactants is not stable. Reset Help The state of chemical equilibrium will remain the same unless reactants or products escape or are introduced into the system. This will disturb the equilibrium. The concentration of products is increasing, and the concentration of reactants is decreasing. The ratio of products to reactants does not change. The rate at which products form from reactants is equal to the rate at which reactants form from products. The concentrations of reactants and products are stable and cease to change. The reaction has reached equilibrium. The rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction. The…
