A minor product in the nitration of methyl benzoate is a dinitro product. Of the four...
draw a mechanism for methyl 3 benzoate 2. For the nitration of methyl benzoate: Which product did you get? What evidence doyou have for this? Wasyourproduct pure? Whatevidence do you have for this? Explain your a. b. evidence. c. Draw the mechanism for the product you got. d. Calculate percent yield. Show your work
Post Lab Questions for Nitration of Acetanilide, Nitration of Methyl Benzoate, Nitration of Phenylacetonitrile, Nitration of Phenol. 1. What product(s) do you expect to be formed in the nitration of phenol? Why? 2. All three of the nitrophenols have boiling points well above 200°C. Explain clearly why it was possible to distill something with such a high boiling point when the temperature of the distillate never rose much above 100°C. 3. What product did you actually obtain in the distillate?...
Draw the reaction mechanism for the nitration of methyl benzoate to methyl nitrobenzoate, please show all resonance structures for each possible substitution position to explain why methyl m-nitrobenzoate was the favored isomer.
4. Calculate the theoretical yield of product in the nitration of methyl benzoate if the reaction was begun with 0.400 g of methyl benzoate. (Show ALL work please.)
If you brominate the product from the nitration of methyl benzoate, what would the major product be? Write a complete reaction.
Write a mechanism for the nitration of methyl benzoate (major product only) Include formation of the electrophile from the reaction of nitric acid with sulfuric acid. Only one resonance structure is needed for the intermediate in the EAS portion of the mechanism
In the nitration of methyl benzoate, an excess of nitric acid is used. Explain why the reaction stops at the single nitration and does not go on further to the double nitration.
For the nitration of methyl benzoate, draw the sigma complex (the reactive intermediate) which results from attack at the ortho, the meta, and the para positions. For each sigma complex, draw all appropriate resonance structures. Circle any "high energy'' resonance structures.
Find the limiting reagent for the nitration of methyl benzoate.? Then calculate the percent yield I used Methyl benzoate - 2.3mL 15M HNO3- 3mL 18M H2SO4- 3mL Yield of crude product- 2.62g Yield of recrystalized product 1.89g
Would you expect methyl benzoate to undergo EAS reactions such as nitration faster or slower than benzene ? Why? Again draw structures to support your answer
