Chapter 15.SE, Problem 38AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ribavirin contains a 1,2,4-triazole ring. Why the ring is aromatic is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A compound to become aromatic should obey Huckel’s rule. According to Huckel’s rule, any species that is cyclic, planar and has (4n+2) delocalized Ï€ electrons will be aromatic and stable. Thus species with 2, 6, 10, 14 etc. Ï€ electrons will be aromatic and stable.

To explain:

Why the 1,2,4-triazole ring is aromatic.

Draw the products formed when ethylene oxide is treated with following reagent. [1] −OH; [2] H2O
Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) a) Given 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100% yield? b) A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.25 g of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? c) The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be produced from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol?
