(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acyl chloride and carboxylate ion that could be used to form the given mixed anhydride have to be found.

Concept Introduction:

Mixed anhydrides are unsymmetrical anhydrides which have different alkyl groups.

Example:

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The other reagents that could be used to form the given mixed anhydride have to be found.

Concept Introduction:

Mixed anhydrides are unsymmetrical anhydrides which have different alkyl groups.

Example:

EBK ESSENTIAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 11.14, Problem 28P , additional homework tip  3

Any anhydride can be obtained using the following two pairs of reagents:

  1. 1. Acetyl chloride and a carboxylate ion.
