As part of an investigation on the synthesis of various nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocycles, a series of amino alcohols were treated with aldehydes and ketones. In one of the runs, a colorless liquid product was obtained. A small sample of this liquid product was subjected to combustion analysis. The results indicated that the product contained 55.35% carbon, 10.84% hydrogen, and 21.52% nitrogen. Which structure is consistent with this combustion analysis data? Circle the structure of your choice NO -N SON a NHN0 ha ana -N No FW 101.15 FW 118.13 FW 130.19 FW 188.27 A chemist decided to explore the diastereoselectivity associated with the reaction shown below upon reduction of both carbonyl groups of the diketone 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione with NaBH. Following the same procedure that you used for the reduction of (+/-) benzoin with NaBH4, the chemist first treated 5.00 mmols of 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione with 4.00 mmols of NaBHA followed by treatment with excess water. The reaction afforded a 70% yield of 1,2- diphenylethane-1,2-diol (a.k.a. hydrobenzoin) along with NaB(OH)as the by-product. In the spaces provided, place appropriate coefficients to come up with a balanced chemical equation. Also, draw the Lewis structure of the product in the space provided. Note: no need to use wedged and dashed bonds! 0 0 + NaBH4 + H20 — NaB(OH) 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol Given that an excess quantity of water was used in this reaction, which reactant is the limiting reagent (LR): 1,2- diphenylethane-1,2-dione or NaBHA? Clearly show your calculations/logic and indicate your conclusion below.
