Q

Why can’t acetone be used as a solvent for reduction reactions that involve NaBH4 or LAH?

Q

When creating a solution for an NMR sample, why must the solvent be deuterated (using D2O instead of H2O)

A

Because the hydrogens from the H2O would interfere with the NMR results by showing 2 extra hydrogens that were not originally in the product.

Q

What is the purpose of adding tetramethylsilane (TMS) to NMR sample solutions?

A

To create the absolute zero ppm as a starting point for the data.

20
Q

Acidic hydrogens (like ROH or RCO2H) tend to appear as quartets in H-NMR regardless of the number of adjacent hydrogens in the molecular structure. True or False?

A

False

21
Q

A Diels-Alder reaction forming a diacid has a high yield due to what?

A

Kinetic control which favors the endo adduct over the eco adduct at low temperatures

22
Q

Diels-Alder reaction could be done in one step with _______ ______ instead of two steps with maleic anhydride.

A

Maleic Acid

But, then the endo product would be less favored leading to less of the desired product

23
Q

Stable dimer for Diels-Alder

A

Dicyclopentadiene

24
Q

The generation of cyclopentadiene by heating and distillation (pyrolysis) of the dimer represents

A

A reverse Diels-Alder reaction

25
Q

After adding the acetone to the hydroxide solution, what visual indicator should appear when the enolate forms in the Aldol Condensation?

A

It should turn yellow

26
Q

Nitrate methyl benzoate with

A

A mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid

27
Q

Methyl benzoate is a

A

Deactivated arene

28
Q

Adding nitro to methyl benzoate

A

further deactivates the aromatic ring, guaranteeing that only a single nitration will occur

29
Q

Why is a crystallization done slowly?

A

If the solution is allowed to cool slowly, the impurities may attach briefly to the growing crystal lattice, but they soon leave as a compound with a more suitable geometry comes in to take their place.

30
Q

True or False.

Nitric acid may be added to the organic wast container?

A

FALSE

31
Q

Many of the artificial fruit and plant odors are

A

Carboxylic Esters

32
Q

One of the simplest processes to make esters is

A

Fischer Esterification

33
Q

The reaction of an alcohol and carboxylic acid with heat and catalytic acid to form an ester and water.

A

Fischer Esterification

34
Q

If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or partial pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established.

A

Le Chatelier’s Principle

35
Q

Two ways that Le Chatelier’s Principle could be used to favor formation of the ester product?

A
  1. Increase the temperature of an endothermic reaction, because in endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed. Therefore, and increase int temperature increases the product yield.
  2. In aqueous solutions, adding water lowers the concentrations of all the components. To increase the concentration, the system will go to the side with the greatest moles to favor the forward reaction.
36
Q

Reaction of an aldehyde with a ketone employing sodium hydroxide as the base is an example of a

A

mixed Aldol condensation reaction, the Claisen-Schmidt reaction

37
Q

Readily prepared by the condensation of acetone with two equivalents of benzalaldehyde.

A

Dibenzalacetone

38
Q

Indicated formation of benzalacetone

A

It turns yellow

39
Q

Grignard reagents

A

Alkyl- and Aryl-magnesium halides

40
Q

Easily formed by a reaction of an alkyl or aryl halide with magnesium metal in anhydrous diethyl ether.

A

Grignard Reagent

41
Q

The Grignard reagent is both a

A

Strong nucleophile and strong base

42
Q

Solvent used in most Grignard reaction

A

Usually an ether like diethyl ether or THF to make sure all traces of water, alcohols, ketones, and other reactive compounds are removed.

43
Q

What visual cue will indicate that the bromobenzene and magnesium are reacting to form the Grignard reagent?

A

The solution will begin to fizz and bubble on the magnesium surface

44
Q

Why must the Grignard reagent be used right after it is formed?

A

Because Grignard reagents readily participate in transmetalation reactions that are irreversible. Therefore you want to use the reagent before it has a change to do so.

45
Q

Which compounds would be the best solvent for a Grignard reaction?

A

Diethyl Ether
