(a)
Interpretation: The miscibility of aniline in water needs to be explained, if in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline, the product is readily isolated from the reaction mixture by steam distillation process.
Concept Introduction:A solution is a mixture of solute and solvent. The solubility of solute in solvent depends on the interaction between solute and solvent. It also depends on the polarity of molecules also. As the polar and ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents on the other hand, non-polar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents like organic solvents. Therefore it is said to be “Like dissolves Like”.
(b)
Interpretation: The approximate temperature at which aniline and water codistil in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline needs to be determined. Here, the product is readily isolated from the reaction mixture by the steam distillation process.

- Compare the synthetic routes of an acid chloride reaction of benzoic acid reacted with ethanol and sulfuric acid catalyst under heated conditions, and a Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzoyl chloride reacted with ethanol under heated conditions and discuss the factors that might make one of these reaction conditions better or worse than the other.arrow_forwardWrite equations in the synthetic direction for the preparation of 5,6-dicyanobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene from cyclohexanol and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardDraw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) of the following reaction. 1. lithium diisopropylamide/hexane 2.1 eq. CH₂l . Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, draw both stereoisomers. [Review Topics • Omit products derived from the acidic or basic reagent itself, e.g. HN(i-Pr), derived from N(/-Pr)₂. • If no reaction occurs, draw the organic starting material. [References] If substantial starting material is present at the end of the reaction, include it in the products. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. .arrow_forward
- Write the structure of the Maleic Anhydride compound and label each non-equivalent carbon with a letter, A,B,C...arrow_forward3.1 4-Methoxybenzoic acid is much less soluble in water than is 2-methoxybenzoic acid. Discuss this observation with the aid of structures.arrow_forwardCan you answer and explain this? a. Explain in your own words how the conceptof vapor pressures would differ between simpledistillation and steam distillation and how this appliesto the latter. As we know, steam distillation is used inthe separation of immiscible components, so naturallythere is separation based on affinity towards specificsolvents. Taking the extraction of essential oils as anexample, why would the use of chlorinated organicsolvents such as dichloromethane be useful theirextraction over other organic solvents?arrow_forward
- 1. Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing acidity and explain the reason for the arrangement: Ethanoic acid, Butanoic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Salicyclic acid. 2. Arrange the test samples in order of increasing reactivity with sodium bicarbonate? Explain briefly. -Ethanoic acid, Butanoic acid, Benzoic acidarrow_forward(C) How many solid phase(s) form(s) as a result of the nonvariant ternary eutectic reaction in lead-free ternary eutectic solders?arrow_forwardSodium hydroxide was used to help separate benzoic acid and fluorenone because deprotonated benzoic acid (sodium benzoate) favorably partitions into the aqueous phase (and fluorenone does not). Would this procedure have worked without the sodium hydroxide (using simply neutral water)? Why or why not?arrow_forward

(2) Outline an efficient synthesis of butyl iso-propyl ether, Start with alcohols of four carbons or fewer and any other materials you need.arrow_forwardConsidering the stoichiometry of the reaction (balance the equation!), what is the net oxidation state difference of the carbons in benzophenone c to benzopinacol? Remember that you have to calculate the oxidation state of the carbons in the product (benzopinacol) and subtract the oxidation state of the carb the reactants (benzophenones). The shortcut is to only calculate the oxidation states of the carbons that seem to have changed their bonding Give a whole number answer with no units.
