Which best explains why an acetal can be used as a protecting group for carbonyls during a Grignard readion (A) The acetal is stable in acid. (B) The acetal prevents reaction of the carbonyl with a strong nucleophile. (C) The reaction is reversible and the acid helps to generate more product (D) To increase the electrophilic nature of the ketone since the Grignard is a weak nucleophile 0909 Select the reagents needed for the synthesis of pentyl butanoate by Fischer...
Propose a structure for the polymer formed by intermolecular reaction of salicylic acid during the synthesis of aspirin. Which is the stronger acid, aspirin or salicylic acid?
Nitric acid is a key industrial chemical, largely used to make fertilizers and explosives. The first step in its synthesis is the oxidation of ammonia. In this reaction, gaseous ammonia reacts with dioxygen gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the oxidation of ammonia reaction finds that 988 liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 188. "C and 0.56 atm. Calculate the rate at...

QUESTION 5 Which of the following statements best describes the role NaOH plays in the synthesis of aspirin? None of these. It acts as a catalyst. It reacts with the acid. It makes the reaction exothermic. It helps to speed up the reaction. It helps to slow down the reaction.
1. Which of the following is true of the processes that occur during fatty acid synthesis? a. The second step uses NADPH to form an alcohol. b. The forth step uses NADPH to reduce a C=C double bond, thus forming a saturated acyl molecule attached to the ACP. c. The third step removes a water molecule to form a C=C double bond d. All of these are true. e. An immediate product of the condensation reaction is a beta-ketoacyl group...
Please help! For the reaction in step 2, how do i find the theoretical yield of the product for this reaction? 0.07 moles of the reactant (ethyl acetoacetate ethylene ketal) was used. What is that keto alcohol product (circled) called? what is the molar mass of that circled product?? thank you!! (TsOH) as catalyst. . Check your organic textbook for the mechanism- acid-catalvzed addition of alcohol to aldehydes or ketones to form acetals or ketals. The ketone carbonyl, significantly more...
