Q

Explain a Carboxylic Acids Solubility

A

C=O, C-O and O-h are all polar bonds and therefore are attracted to the polar elements within water molecules

Acid Groups can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. due sufficient polarization of the O-H bond, Delta positve Hydrogen forms a weak bond with lone pair on a waters oxygen.

Q

What factors Determine how readily the acylation of a nucleophile by an acid derivative occurs (3)

A

Magnitude of the Delta positive charge on the carbon from the per ant dipole caused by the Delta Negative atoms

How easily does the leaving party leave the molecule

How Readily does the nucleophile donate electrons

29
Q

What effect do the Cl and O atoms in the Acyl Chrloride and Acid anhydrides have on the partial charge of the carbonyl carbon

A

Increase the Delta Positive charge on the carbon by attracting electrons (negative inductive effect) this means the carbon redacts more readily with nucleophiles

30

Acyl Chlorides

31
Q

How do you produce an amide form an acid anhydride/ Acyl chloride

The product of the Hyrdolysis of acid derivatives are primarily used for which purpose?

A

Manufacture of Aspirin

37
Q

What are the advantages to using acid anhydrides to acyl chlorides (3)

A

Cheaper.

Less corrosive and does not react readily water

Safer as ethanoic acid is produced rather then HCl (corrosiveP

38
Q

What would you observe n a melting point determination if the sample wasn’t pure?

A

Sample would melt over a large range of temperatures
Sample melting point is below accepted value due to impurities disrupting the structure.

39
Q

What conditions are needed for the formation of methyl esters from acid anhydrides or acyl chlorides

A

Alcohol reactant such as methanol
And heat gently under reflux
Hydrolysis - Alkali catalyst

40
Q

When undergoing recrystallisation why is there a minimum volume of solvent

A

So a saturated solution is formed

So that as many crystals as possible form when cooled

41
Q

Why is the solution filtered hot when purifying by recrystallisation

why is the solution cooled in an ice bath?

A

To remove insoluble impurities and ensure that the crystals do not form in the filter paper.
To increase the yield of crystals so more are formed

42
Q

Why are crystals washed with cold water when repurifying by recrystallisation

A

To remove soluble impurities

43
Q

At what times do you use a büchner funnel in the preparation, recrystallisation and purifying of an organic solid.

A

1) Filter under reduced pressure - separate the solid from the crude ,after the reaction to form the solid
2) Filter under reduced pressure - after the recrystallisation of the crystals to filter them off.
3) Drying of product - Sucking air over the solid then placing in a low temperature oven

51
Q

How Soluble are carbonyls in water?
What is the trend?

A

Yes- dipole dipole intermolecular forces between molecules between water molecules and oxygen in the C=O bond

As Chain length increases solubility decreases

52
Q

Which part of a carbonyl group is reactive and why?

A

C=O, due to the polarity of the bond (large differences in electronegativity) and high electron density

Q

Draw the Mechanism of a aldehyde with the addition of a nucleophile

A

Nucleophilic addition (not elimination)
Produces a Hydroxy________
Usually CN: is used that would be Hydroxy-Nitrile

54
Q

Nucleophilic addition of HCN and a carbonyl produces (2)?

A

A HydroxyNitrile

:CN can attack above or below the planar C=O group with equal likelihood, producing a pair of enantiomers each with a chiral carbon if an unsymmetrical ketone or aldehyde is reacted

Electrophilic Addition

55

56
Q

What is Tollens Reagent? How does it React?

A

Silver nitrate with 1 drop of sodium hydroxide in excess NH3(aq)
