Q

why are acyl chlorides so reactive

A

electronegative oxygen and chlorine atoms attatched to the 𝛿+ carbon make the carbon susceptible to nucleophilic attack

Q

why are anhydrides preferred to acyl chlorides in synthesis (4)

A

cheaper
less easily hydrolysed
less violent reactions
no corrosive HCl is formed

Q

nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism steps
e.g. ethanoyl chloride + NH3

A

C=O > δ-​ O
: of nucleophile > δ+ C

: of O- > C-O-
H-(N)+ > (N)+
C-Cl > Cl

18
Q

aspirin synthesis order (6)

A

dissolve in min. vol. of hot solvent
hot filtration
cool and crystallise in ice
cold filtration
wash residue
dry product

19
Q

during aspirin sythesis what is filtered off during hot filtration

A

insoluble impurities

20
Q

during aspirin sythesis what is filtered off during cold filtration

A

soluble impurities

21
Q

why is a minimum volume of hot solvent used in the preparation of aspirin

A

so that a saturated solution is formed making crystalisation more likely
