Two students are given 3-oxobutanoic acid below and asked to prepare 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoic acid.
The first student recognizes this as the first step of the acetoacetic ester synthesis. He treats the starting material with sodium methoxide followed by methyl iodide. He isolates compound A, but 1H NMR analysis shows this is not the desired material. Elemental analysis shows it has the same molecular formula as the 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoic acid. What is compound A?
The second student recognizes an extra step is needed first. She treats the starting material with diazomethane and isolates compound B. She then treats compound B with sodium methoxide followed by methyl iodide and isolates compound C. Draw compounds B and C.
Compound C can be converted to the 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoic acid
using what reagent?

**(left structure)****(right
structure)**
The two structures for the assignment are above and
the task is:
1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target
molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic
starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends
upon the target. For the structure given above (structure on left),
the starting material is either malonic ester or acetoacetic ester
and any halide. For the structure given above (structure on right),
the starting material is any...
HO HW2. A student ran the Grignard reaction below: CH3MgBr diethyl ether 2-pentanone 2-methyl-2-pentanol HW 3. A second student tries to run the same Grignard reaction as in HW 2 and obtains the following FT-IR spectrum: ) transmittance 000 2000 1500 1000 wavenumber(cm) a. Based solely on the IR data, did the second student's reaction go to completion? In other words, was all of the ketone starting material used up? Yes or No and explain. b. When the second student...
Page 1 Synthesis using Carbonyl O-Substitution Chemistry Preamble This experiment involves the synthesis of target molecules using a-substitution chemistry. You are assigned two target molecules, one of which is best synthesized by an alkylation approach, while the other is best synthesized by an addition or condensation approach. You must do the following: 1. Perform a retrosynthetic analysis on the two target molecules assigned to you. In each case the organic starting material (what you have to work backwards toward) depends...
Synthesis using Carbonyla-Substitution Chemistry Preamble This experiment involves the synthesis of target molecules using a-substitution chemistry.

What is the IUPAC name of the given molecule? OH Br 1-bromo-2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid 2-ethyl-3-methylpentan-2-ol-1-carboxyl bromide 2-ethyl-3-methyl-2-ol-pentanoyl bromide O2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoyl bromide What statement is TRUE about the mechanism for the reaction shown here? CH,(CH)2CO,CH, NaOH CH3(CH12COCH excess heat CH3(CH)2CO,CH2 Water attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. The first step of the reaction involves protonation of the ester carbonyl oxygen. One of the products formed is glycerol. The hydroxide deprotonates the alpha carbon. Which bases among the following is/are used...

I need help with questions 5, 6, & 7. The FTIR and NMR is
provided. I also need help creating a reaction mechanism using the
following:
Starting material: 1,7-Dimethyl-heptanedioate
Solvent: Diethyl ether
Reagent: sodium methoxide

PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS - Fischer Esterification
Reactions
Q: Calculate the expected mass of both methyl salicylate and
aspirin assuming 100% yield.
EXPERIMENT7 PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS Fischer Esterification Reactions Almost 2500 years ago, physicians such as Hippocrates recommended that patients chew on the bark of the willow to alleviate pain. The active ingredient in willow bark was found to be salicin, a compound made of a molecule of salicyl alcohol bonded to a p-D-glucose molecule. In the stomach, the bond between...
1) Write a Reaction equation using 4- aminobenzenesulfulfonic

(coupling agent). Write the mechanism.
SYNTHESIS OF AZO DYES INTRODUCTION Humans' love of color dates back almost to prehistoric times, yet it is not actually until the modern era that the full range of the rainbow has been accessible to the majority of people irn their clothes and other textiles. Ancient or medieval times have often been described as being quite splendid with their "tyrian purple"...
will work with up to 3 partners (similar to a lab group) to prepare a written report which analyzes kinetic data that has been provided to you. All student groups will receive data for the hypothetical reaction aAlE) products where a is a numeric variable and A is a chemical variable. The reaction therefore has the form of a decomposition reaction, in which a single substance forms one or more new substances. For consistency, all concentrations start out at 1.000...
