In the synthesis of dibenzalacetone, what is the purpose of swirling the flask for 20 mins? It makes the benzaldehyde more electrophilic It removes the excess acetone in the mixture. It prevents the formation of side products It allows for the evaporation of ethanol, leaving water as solvent where the product is insoluble.

Khaira performed the synthesis of ester X. Liquid-liquid extraction is needed to extract compound X fromthe aqueous reaction mixture. Given the solubility of ester X in the following solvents. Solvent Solubility of Compound X (g/mL solvent) at 25°C water 0.278 ethanol 1.027 acetone 1.309 dichloromethane 0.891 diethyl ether 0.759 a. Which solvent must she use to extract compound X? b. Calculate the KD. c. She transferred all of the aqueous reaction mixture in a separatory funnel, and she added 100 mL of theBEST solvent (from question a). If the total volume of the reaction mixture is 100 mL, calculate the g ofcompound X that will be extracted. (Based on literature; 5.0 g of the product will be synthesized from theamount of starting material she used.) d. Her partner, Jane, repeated the same experiment but this time, she performed the liquid-liquid extraction twiceusing 50 mL of the BEST solvent (from question a).

Suppose you took your two compounds, dissolved them in tertbutyl methyl ether and then added them to a separatory funnel. Now suppose you add in aqueous sodium bicarbonate and vigorusly shake the contents of the separatory funnel. ethanol will be dissolved in tert butyl methyl ether ether and valeric acid will be dissolved in the aqueous sodium bicarbonate layer. Draw the EXACT chemical structure that will exist in each of the layers after shaking with sodium bicarbonate. (Is it neutral or charged?)
Considering the stoichiometry of the reaction (balance the equation!), what is the net oxidation state difference of the carbons in benzophenone going 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 carbons in 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. hv OH Ph Ph OH Ph' Ph' Ph Ph OH Answer: -1
Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) In analyzing the products, you discover that the substitution pattern resulting from the reaction with phenol differs from the reaction with nitrobenzene. Explain this difference in substitution patterns using one or more judiciously selected reaction mechanisms or portions of mechanisms.
A BSES student, Christian, is working in an organic laboratory for the experiment on the organic synthesis without the guidance of his superlatively handsome instructor, Arwil Nathaniel Alfonso . He prepared five organic solvents: 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 2-pentanone, benzaldehyde, and m-cresol but he didn’t put any label in any of these. Meanwhile, Ryan used the solvents she prepared and placed back in different order. Knowing Christian would punch Ryan in his digestive tract because there is a possible explosion. Prepare a systematic flow chart of qualitative tests to help Ryan to label the solvents before Christian used the organic solvents.

In the workup of the grignard reaction of turning bromobenzene to benzoic acid, we start by mixing the grignard with HCl and diethyl ether. We discard the aqueous layer and wash the organic layer with water. Then, the organic layer is extracted with NaOH. Then, the extracts are heated to remove ether. Then, it is precipitated with HCl. Precipitate collected. Let it dry and finally, purified with toluene and hexanes. Please make a flowchart of the process of this workup indicating what products and byproducts are forming. And what compounds are in the aqueous layer and organic layer in the steps.
