2. In a William Ether Synthesis of Phenacetin experiment, the organic layer is washed twice with 5% aq. NaOH. The purpose of this step was to remove any unreacted acetaminophen from the organic layer by extracting it into the aqueous layer. a) What reaction is occurring between acetaminophen and NaOH? Draw the reaction, mechanism, and product of this reaction step.

4. An enzyme (acetoacetate decarboxylase) catalyzes the decarboxylation of acetoacetate. The mechanism has been studied extensively; concluding that the key bond-breaking step involves an enamine as a leaving group. Draw a curved arrow mechanism in the boxes below. Label the "iminium” and then "enamine" and then "iminium" as three consecutive intermediates in the mechanism. Note that the acid is stoichiometric PLUS catalytic.
