Question
6) During the Wittig reaction, you perform the reaction as follows:
4-chlorobenzaldehyde (136 mg) and (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane
(323 mg) were placed in a 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The two solids were mixed vigorously for 15 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexanes (2.9 mL - density 0.661 g/mL) The by-product, triphenylphosphine oxide, was filtered off.
0.085 g total of triphenyl phosphine was isolated. The filtrate was then evaporated to dryness to obtain 0.151 g of the desired product, pure ethyl-4-chlorocinnamate, as a colorless oil.
What is the % effective mass yield of the reaction? (Your result should be reported as a % value and rounded to the nearest integer.

The Grignard reaction involves preparation and reaction of a very nucleophilic organo-magnesium compound. The Grignard reagent is very reactive and is easily destroyed by reaction with atmospheric water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The Grignard reagent must be prepared under strict anhydrous conditions (dry glassware, dry solvent). The volative solvent, diethyl ether, helps to prevent oxygen or carbon dioxide from entering the reaction vessel. Reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium in ether produces phenylmagnesium bromide. This Grignard reagent then reacts with methyl benzoate to produce the corresponding alkoxide. Reaction of the alkoxide with aqueous acid then produces the alcohol. Why is it unwise to begin addition of the solution of carbonyl compound to the Grignard reagent before the latter has cooled to room temperature?arrow_forward1-Chlorobutane was treated with different nucleophiles shown in the table.
