2. If one were esterifying an expensive alcohol with an expensive carboxylic acid derivative, would it be wiser to use the acid chloride or acid anhydride reagent? Why? 3. Why is so much NaOH used in the extraction? Recall that only four drops (small amount) of sulfuric acid were used as a catalyst. Esters are an important class of organic molecules, which are formally derived from alcohols and carboxylic acids. Esters occur widely in nature and are often an important...
In the mechanism for formation of acetylsalicylic acid via reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride, phosphoric acid acts as a catalyst by O cleaving an acetyl group from acetic anhydride via protonation of the bridging oxygen O neutralizing the hydroxide ion side product protonating the carbonyl oxygen in the acetic anhydride protonating the phenolic oxygen of salicylic acid Question 10 (3 points) What would be the predicted major product from the thermodynamically controlled dehydration of the following material OH
Treatment of a carboxylic acid with trifluoroacetic anhydride leads to an unsymmetrical anhydride that rapidly reacts with alcohol to give an ester. (CF3CO)20 R'OH + CF3CO2H ROH OR' Using the reaction of acetic acid as an example, propose a structure for the first intermediate in the reaction to form the unsymmetrical anhydride. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I, in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one...
Please provide the mechanism for the reaction of isopentyl alcohol with acetic anhydride to form isopentyl acetate.
Draw the product AND mechanism for the esterification reaction of acetic anhydride and 1-octanol (assuming there is acid catalyst present).
Does anyone know the full mechanism of acid-catalyzed esterification of vanillin when it react with acetic anhydride under acidic condition yielding the product below?
Organic synthesis fragrance Lab chosen alcohol is benzyl which reacts with acetic anhydride draw the reaction mechanism for the reaction between the anhydride and your alcohol (Benzyl) that resulted in the formation of the ester you synthesized.
a) Draw the mechanism (including electron-movement arrows) of the acid-catalyzed esterification + H2O Sulfuric Acetic acid Isoamyl alcohol acid isoamyl acetatewater (concn.) (glacial)
Phenolphthalein is synthesized by the acid-catalyzed reaction of phthalic anhydride with 2 equivalents of phenol. Propose and illustrate a mechanism for the reaction in the presence of sulfuric acid and heat. OH
Draw the acid-base reaction showing protonation of acetic anhydride by phosphoric acid (a strong acid). Pay attention to which atom is most basic.
