- An organic chemist was subjected to sodium fusion and the resulting lassaigne's extract boiled with FeSO4 and acidified with concentrated H2SO4, yielding a prussian blue color. Give the structure of one of the organic compounds which fits the description.arrow_forwardPrimary amines can be prepared from amides by Hoffman's reaction. Write a general equation for the reaction and give reagents with reaction conditions for this reaction. What property of amines is responsible for them being basic. Suggest one way of Increasing the basicity of an amine and give a specific example of its application.arrow_forwardCompound A is a branched-chain alcohol that undergoes oxidation to produce compound B. Compound B is a ketone that gives positive triiodomethane reaction. Compound B is then reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide, C6H5MgBr in the presence of aqueous acid to form compound C. Compound C has the molecular formula of C11H16O (i) Deduce the structure for compound A, B and C. (ii) State the observation when compound C is added with acidified potassium dichromate(VI).arrow_forward
- Outline the steps invloved in the synthesis of 3-chloro-4-fluroacetophenone from 4-aminoacetophenone. provide the bond line structure for the major organic product obtained in each step of the proposed synthesis.arrow_forwardSuggest one way of Increasing the basicity of an amine and give a specific example of its application.arrow_forwardPoint out the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions in the structures of benzalkoniumchloride, Nonoxynol®, and Gardol®arrow_forward
- Starting with benzene, give a sequence of laboratory reactions which could be used to prepare p-isopropylaniline. If separation of ortho, meta, or para-isomers is required, give evidence that it is feasible.arrow_forwardBriefly discuss the following topics and include appropriate examples where necessary. Extremely thermophilic sulphur metabolizers.arrow_forwardAn organic compound A of unknown structure was found to have a molecular formula C8H16. When A was poured in water and heated, compound B having a molecular formula C8H18O was formed. B upon heating with sulfuric acid was converted to C as the major product which is identical to A. Ozonolysis of C gave one molecule each of two different products D and E, both having a molecular formula C4H8O. Write the reactions involved and determine the structure of A,B,C,D and E.arrow_forward
- 3. Obtain acetophenone and acetaldehyde by reaction of glycols with periodic acid. Justify your answer with the reaction mechanism.arrow_forwardOn being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.arrow_forwardGiven that naphthalene is insoluble in water and sublimes easily upon heating, describe two methods by which you could separate naphthalene and NaCL.arrow_forward
