Explain the use of acetylide anion reactions in the synthesis of two marine natural products ?

What is the chemical equation of the reaction of Ethanol with Acetic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid

Prepare CH3COOC2H5, ethyl acetate, using ethyl alcohol. Write the chemical reaction. The pain reliever acetaminophen is produced by reacting 4-aminophenol with acetic anhydride. Outline a synthesis of acetaminophen from 4-aminophenol including any needed inorganic reagents.

Give two reasons relating to your chemical knowledge why dichlorodimethylsilane is a useful starting material for the formation of methyl silicone polymers

1. Why is the internal use of methyl salicylate limited to small quantities only? 2. What are the uses and application of methyl salicylate? 3. What is the role of salicylic acid, sulfuric acid and sodium carbonate in the synthesis of methyl salicylate? 4. What are the common methods to extract methyl salicylate from natural sources?

What is the reaction mechanism for acetic acid production from methanol carbonylation, using a metal complex as a catalyst?

Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. Salicylic acid, whose name comes from Salix, the willow family of plants, was derived from willow bark extracts. In folk medicine, willow bark teas were used as headache remedies and other tonics. Nowadays, salicylic acid is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic acid will be quenched with the addition of water. The aspirin product is not very soluble in water so the aspirin product will precipitate when water is added. The synthesis reaction of aspirin is shown below: Actic anhydride 5 ml. Acetic acid Salicylic acid 28 Acetylsalicylie acid Procedure 1) Mix salicylic…

Describe or enumerate the step by step process in the laboratory preparation of benzyl alcohol from benzoic acid

Carboxylic acids can also react with amides to give polyamides (polymers). The same is true with esters and alcohols. Read on lactomer and how it is used for stitches that can dissolve overtime. Why do lactomer stitches dissolve within 2 to 3 weeks following surgery? Refer to the photo below.
