Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are strong organic acids. They undergo acid-base reaction with amines to yield an ammonium salt of carboxylate anion. It is a single step reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are strong organic acids. They undergo acid-base reaction with amines to yield an ammonium salt of carboxylate anion. Further heating at high temperature (greater than 100°C) dehydrates the obtained ammonium salt to amide. Water is removed as the by-product.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The product formed from the treatment of acetic acid with the given reagent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The full form of DCC is dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. It is a dehydrating agent. The treatment of carboxylic acid with an amine and DCC leads to the formation of an amide and dicyclohexylurea as the by-product, (formed when small amount of H2O is added).

What is the major organic product of the following reaction? (a) (b) NaBH4 CH3CH₂OH ? (c) (d) OH
Draw the product formed when (CH3CH2)3N:, a Lewis base, reacts with each Lewis acid: (a) B(CH3)3; (b) (CH3)3C+; (c) AlCl3.
Ethyl 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.
