For the reaction shown below, 582 mg of 4-chlorophenol, 798 mg of benzyl bromide, and excess sodium hydroxide are used to obtain 847 mg of 4-chlorophenyl benzyl ether. What is the percent yield of 4-chlorophenyl benzyl ether? 4-chlorophenol MW = 129 g/mol; benzyl bromide MW = 171 g/mol; sodium hydroxide MW = 40.0 g/mol; 4-chlorophenyl benzyl ether MW = 219 g/mol
Starting from ethanol as the only organic reagent you have and use any other inorganic reagents to prepare:
A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same molecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an organic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K can be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions, they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not. Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring their position isomerism. Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-…

Some alcohols undergo rearrangement or other unwanted side reactions when they dehydrate in acid. Alcohols may be dehydrated under mildly basic conditions using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in pyridine. The alcohol reacts with phosphorus oxychloride much like it reacts with tosyl chloride, displacing a chloride ion from phosphorus to give an alkyl dichlorophosphate ester. The dichlorophosphate group is an outstanding leaving group. Pyridine reacts as a base with the dichlorophosphate ester to give an E2 elimination. Propose a mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol by POCl3 in pyridine.
