Complete the following proposed acid–base reactions, and predict whether the reactants or products are favored.
Alcohols are very useful organic compounds because there are many ways to synthesize larger and more complex molecules starting with simple alcohols. The reactions you will examine form a strong basis for synthetic tools that an organic chemist would use. You will be expected to predict the major products of reactions under the conditions given. The key to doing this is to look carefully at the conditions and remember how those conditions affect the products. It is a good idea to have an index card file of the reactions as you learn them. Dehydration (loss of water) - There are two forms of dehydration reactions with alcohols - ether formation and elimination (alkene formation). In both reactions you are looking for the components of water (OH and H) that will be removed in the reaction. Ether Formation - Two alcohols will form an ether link by loss of water forming an ether product with an acidic catalyst (typically H2SO4) at 140\deg C. One alcohol loses the hydroxyl group and one…
An acid anhydride can be formed under equilibrium conditions by reacting an ester with a carboxylic acid, as shown below. Reasonable yield is achieved if the equilibrium can be shifted by exploiting Le Châtelier's principle. -R" HO + + R ОН R' `OR" R `R' (a) Provide a complete, detailed mechanism for this reaction. (b) In general, the above equilibrium favors the reactants. However, if the ester that is used is the one shown here, then the equilibrium favors the products. Explain why. R' O.
Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ( -OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions. However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols lose a proton more easily. Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) CH3CH,OH + NH3 →CH,CH,O-NH CH3 CH3 H3C-C-H+NH3 → H3 C-C-H OH O-NH CH3CH2OH + NaNH, → CH3CH,O-Na* + NH3 CHC12 Cl₂…
Using curved arrows to show movement of electron pairs, show the mechanism for this reaction. It is only necessary to draw one resonance structure for any intermediates that are resonance hybrids. Note that the H atom of the hydroxyl group is acidic enough to be removed by OH–; the first step in the mechanism is a proton transfer. The general mechanism for base-mediated saponification of an ester is outlined in one of the discussion videos that has been posted for this experiment.

Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for step two of this reaction (where the product of step one reacts with the solvent, ethanol). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for the last step of this reaction (formation of ethyl isopropyl ether). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. CI will act as the base in this reaction.

Sketch the reaction mechanism (including the final product) corresponding to the following description. Be prepared to explain the mechanism to your partner. 2-bromo-4-methylpentane is being reacted with sodium cyanide in diethyl ether (set up the reaction – next you will get a description of the mechanism to draw). A lone pair of electrons from the cyanide attacks the carbon bonded to bromine, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. At the same time, the carbon-bromine bond breaks with the electron pair from the carbon-bromine bond moving toward the bromine to form a bromide ion. This will form the product 2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile and sodium bromide. is this reaction following an SN1 or SN2 mechanism?
