Nitration is the substitution of an NO2 group for one of the hydrogen atoms on a benzene ring.
The nitration of methyl benzoate gives methyl 3-nitrobenzoate
The reaction is regioselective and produces predominantly methyl 3-nitrobenzoate.
The mechanism is as follows:
acid base reaction (with mechanism showing arrows) for the nitration of methyl benzoate experiment. (An electophilic...
What is the purpose of the following in the experiment for Nitration of Methyl Benzoate and what is the reaction scheme for the experiment 1. Sulfuric Acid 2. Methyl Benzoate 3. Nitric Acid 4.Ethanol
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.
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.
nitration of methyl benzoate why is the reaction mixture cooled as the sulfuric/nitric acid mixture is added?
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
1. Write the mechanism for the synthesis reaction for Nitration of Methyl Benzoate C₆H₅CO₂CH₃ + HONO₂ --------> C8H7NO4 H₂ O Methylbenzoate + Nitric Acid (H₂ SO4 ) Methyl m-nitrobenzoate water Write the complete mechanism for the reaction. Be sure to use expanded structural formulas for all chemical species. Include all bonds, non-bonding electrons, formal charges, and electron-flow arrows. DO NOT use bond-line formulas, but rather explicitly show atomic symbols. For this mechanism, show the individual resonance contributors for the arenium...
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.)
This question is for the Nitration of Methyl Benzoate, the final
product is Methyl 3 nitrobenzoate but I dont know how to get the
byproduct produced during this reaction. Please use the expanded
structural formulas and show a mechansim on how that occurs and on
the right please provide a description of what is going on in that
step/mechanism, ie an Sn1 or E1, etc.
b. As stated in the Lab Manual for this experiment, a by-product is possibly produced...
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?...
