tricaprylmethylammonium chloride is a phase transfer catalyst (PTC).
Diethylmalonate and the 1-bromobutne are organic compounds and K2CO3 is inorganic base (water soluble).
Inorder to maintain contact between the base and the diethyl malonate need to have a phase transfer catalyst.
Without the catalyst the reaction proceeds with very slow rate.
Role of the the PTC is to promote the solubility and is not participating in the reaction, so PTC used in a nonstaichiometric ratio.
Hope you understand.
Good Luck.
This procedure was conducted for diethyl n-butylmalonate. The question is: What is the purpose of the...
If you conducted this experiment using (R) 2-bromobutane, what would be the stereochemistry of the product? How, if at all, would the stereochemistry of the product differ if the sodium iodide had not been included in the reaction mixture? This is the experiment: Formation of n-Butyl Acetate Just Below Reflux Set up a sand bath on a magnetic stirrer— start on “4” until it reaches 100°C To a 5-mL long-necked round-bottomed flask, add 0.750 g of sodium acetate trihydrate (NaOAc...
For the portion of the procedure shown below, create a flow chart for the acid-base extraction at the end of the Grignard Reaction. Start your flow chart with the crude reaction (see below) mixture before addition of HCl and continue it until the product is recovered. Depict the desired organic product, in its correct form at each step of the procedure. Crude reaction mixture procedure for reference: To the flask add Mg turnings (120 mg, 4.94 mmol) to the flask...
A Grignard reaction was performed using the following steps: Step 1: Addition of Grignard Reagent: Phenyl Magnesium Bromide a solution of phenyl magnesium bromide (2.7 mL of a 3.0 M solution in anhydrous diethyl ether) and 5 mL of anhydrous diethyl ether was dispensed into the round-bottom flask and stirred with a stir bar. Step 2: Addition Formation: Reaction with Benzophenone A solution of 0.72 g (mp = 48-49 degrees C) of benzophenone and 2.0 mL of anhydrous diethyl ether...
____ What was the purpose of hydrogen peroxide and why was it added slowly with cooling? HYDROBORATION-OXIDATION OF 1-HEXENE 1. In a screw cap V-vial, prepare a solution of 0.33 g of iodine in 3 mL of dry THF. Firmly tighten the cap; keep the vial closed until ready to use. 2. In a 25 mL round-bottom flask, weigh 0.12 g of sodium borohydride. Add 8 mL of dry THF; stopper the flask with a septum, and stir the mixture...
Organic chemistry post-lab question: "Why is important to add the alkyl halide dropwise in your reaction? (Hint: your reaction is not heated, but you still need a water-cooled condenser!)" Please answer in detail! Here is a copy of the experiment, thank you! The Grignard reaction is an important synthetic process by which a carbon-carbon bond is formed. Magnesium metal is first reacted with an organic halide. The resultant organo-magnesium halide (Grignard reagent) is then combined with a carbonyl compound, ultimately...

write a mechanism for the following procedure opening directly above the flask and flame-dry the ensemble. At rt, add 2.0 mmoles of the appropriate N-protected amino acid to the flask, followed by 1.05 equivalents of L-alanine methyl ester hydrochloride, 4 mmoles of triethyl amine and 30 mL of anhydrous DMF, the latter two via syringe. After stirring for 5 min, quickly add 1.05 equivalents of TBTU and allow this mixture to stir at rt for 2 hr Add the reaction...
You don’t have to tell me purpose. just where in procedure for each technique. Section/Instructor SN2 Pre-lab (20 points) Answer on a separate piece of paper 1. (6 pts.)

Why did you wash the ether solution with sodium bicarbonate? Write chemical equations for the reactions that took place. b. At which purification steps was the unreacted methanol removed in the reaction? Some of it may have been removed in more than one place. c. Three-Step Synthesis of Methyl Anisate (Step 3) 0 CHOH.

Extraction of benzoic acid and 9-fluorenone using diethyl ether. (please do not include ethyl 4- aminobenzoate). I have to create a flow chart to diagram the key steps of the experiment and isolation of products. 0.100g of benzoic acid and 9-fluorenone are dissolved in diethyl ether. The extraction solvent is 5% sodium hydroxide (to extract the acidic component from the organic phase). Saturated sodium chloride is added to the organic layer. drying the organic solution: anhydrous sodium sulfate is added...
