In the preparation of methyl benzoate from benzoic acid, methanol, concentrated H2SO4, and heat, why is methanol used as the excess reagent? Thank you
Methanol is converted to formaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase. Would the alcohol dehydrogenase reaction be useful in determining whether wine had been adulterated with methanol? Explain. Please and thank you!
9. In this laboratory experiment, you use excess carboxylic acid (2.4 equivalents). Therefore, when the reaction is complete, you will have some carboxylic acid along with your ester as the product. Answer the following questions: (a) How was this excess carboxylic acid removed from your ester product? To answer this question, answer the two parts below. (i) Draw the reaction that allows for the excess carboxylic acid to be removed below. You must show the starting materials of the reaction,...
This is a Fischer Esterification using the alcohol, methanol, and the carboxylic acid, butyric acid, to create the ester, methyl butanoate (smells like apple). After refluxing methanol, butyric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, a separatory flask was used and the ester was extracted using ice water, then diethyl ether, then 2 portions of sodium carbonate, and a saturated sodium chloride brine solution. Anyhydrous sodium sulfate was used after separation to dry the ester. Please help!! 4. Read about infrared spectroscopy...
The reaction of butanolc acid with methanol in the presence of HCl forms: butyl methanoate methyl butanoate methyl butanoic acid butanoyl chloride QUESTION 2 The reaction of benzoyl chloride and cyclohexanol in the presence of pyridine gives which product? Benzylcyclohexanoate Cyclohexylbenzoate C cyclohexanone Benzoic Acid QUESTION 3 Reaction of cyclopentylacetic acid with thionyl chloride gives product A which is then reacted with 2 moles of ammonia to furnish which compound? Ccyclopentylacetamide CN-methylcyclopentylamide C 2-cyclopentylethanol C methylacetate
We made esters from carboxylic acids and alcohol. (for one of them, acetic acid + isopentyl alcohol + couple drops of sulfuric acid). Could someone please explain those. Thank you 1. Consider if we had prepared high molecular weight esters, what problems would this pose regarding our method of analysis 2. We used sulfuric acid as a catalyst, but carboxylic acids are a reagent in this reaction. Would simply using excess carboxylic acid work as efficiently as sulfuric acid to...
Predict the product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with HCI in H_2O. Carboxylic Acid derivatives: Reaction of oxolan-2-one with H2O (excess) and HCI
A Fischer Esterification reaction forms an ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. This reaction is catalyzed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Which of the following statements below correctly describe an acid catalyzed reaction. Mark all the statements that are correct. Once the acid is consumed the reaction will stop until additional acid is added. An excess of acid is needed to get this reaction to run to completion. Acid is regenerated during the reaction. Only a small amount of...
1. Is in refrence to a fischer esterification reaction using an alcohol and carboxylic acid to synthesis octyl acetate. https://i.sli.mg/W4ALMZ.png Thank you in advance!
You mixed 5.25 g of methanol and a carboxylic acid whose molar mass is 138.12 g/mol and heated to obtain an ester. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the ester produced? Give a numerical answer to the nearest 0.01.
