Question

Transcribed Image Text:Assuming that cyclohexanone is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime and that cyclohexanone oxime is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of caprolactam;
what is the overall % yield of caprolactam from cyclohexanone given the percentage yield of each step of the reaction sequence as follows? Give only two significant digits. If the
answer is a whole number with two digits, do not include the decimal.

- Prostaglandins are a class of cicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.

After finishing the preparation of the ester, 7.63 grams of methylbenzoate was obtained, and the benzoic acid reacted completely. What is the percent yield of the ester? ( density methanol = 0.791 g/ml, methanol = 32.04 g/mol, methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol, benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol )arrow_forward
