Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hemiacetal which is formed when benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is treated with one equivalent of cyclohexanol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol and ether groups are bound to the same carbon in a hemiacetal. A hemiacetal is resulted as an intermediate of the formation of acetal during the reaction between alcohol and
(b)
Interpretation:
The acetal which is formed when benzaldehyde is reacted with two equivalents of cyclohexanol in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When an aldehyde or a ketone is reacted with two equivalent alcohol molecules in the presence of H2SO4, an acetal is produced. In acetal formation, two alkoxy groups are bonded to the same carbon.

- Fenfluramine and phentermine are two components of fen–phen, an appetite suppressant withdrawn from the market in 1997 after it was shown to damage the heart valves in some patients. What products are formed when fenfluramine and phentermine are each treated with acetic acid (CH3CO2H)?arrow_forwardDexamethasone is a halogen-containing steroid used to treat infl ammation in rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions. (a) Classify the alkyl halide in dexamethasone as 1 °, 2 °, or 3 °. (b) Classify the hydroxyl groups as 1 °, 2 °, or 3 °.arrow_forwardEthyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l). The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be produced from 8.50 gof butanoic acid and excess ethanol? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.arrow_forward
