Chapter 3, Problem 3.16P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way by which the basicities of conjuagte bases A change with increasing pKb is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

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?
