Chapter 14: Q1P. (page 711)

Rank the given solvents in decreasing order of their ability to dissolve each compound

(a) HCOO-Na+

(b)

(c)


Solvents

Ethyl ether, water, ethanol, dichloromethane

Short Answer

Expert verified

(1) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve sodium acetate:

Water >ethanol > ethyl ether>dichloromethane

(2) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve 2-methylnapthalene:

Dichloromethane >ethyl ether >ethanol >water

(3) Decreasing order of solvents鈥� ability to dissolve 1-napthol:Dichloromethane>ethyl ether>ethanol>water

Step by step solution

01

Solubility of sodium acetate

The general principle followed to determine solubility is,鈥渓ike dissolves like.鈥�

Compounds which have similar polarity tend to get dissolve in each other. Thus,

sodium acetate which is ionic and most polar out of the three solutes given, will dissolve

in water which is most polar out of the given solvents. Sodium acetate will dissolve

slightly in ethanol and will be insoluble in ethyl ether and dichloromethane

02

Solubility of 2-methylnaphthalene and 1-naphthol

2-methylnapthalene and 1-napthol are non-polar; and out of the given solvents,

ethyl ether and dichloromethane are non-polar. Thus, 2-methylnapthalene and 1-napthol will be insoluble in water, partially soluble in ethanol, and soluble in diethyl ether

and dichloromethane

Show how you would accomplish the following transformations. Some of these examples require more than one step.

Question. Give the structures of the intermediates represented by letters in this synthesis.

Question: (a) Predict the values of m/zand the structures of the most abundant fragments you would observe in the mass spectrum of di-n-propyl-ether.

(b) Give logical fragmentations to account for the following ions observed in the mass spectrum of 2-methoxypentane: 102,87,71,59,31.

Mustard gas, Cl-CH2CH2-CH2CH2-Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agent in World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Its toxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes, rendering the enzymes inactive.

  1. Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylating agent.
  2. Bleach (sodium hypochlorite,NaOCl, a strong oxidizing agent) neutralizes and inactivates mustard gas. Bleach is also effective on organic stains because it oxidizes colored compounds to colorless compounds. Propose products that might be formed by the reaction of mustard gas with bleach.

Show how the following ethers might be synthesized using (1) alkoxymercuration-demercuration and (2) the Williamson synthesis. (When one of these methods cannot be used for the given ether, point out why it will not work.)

  1. 2-methoxybutane
  2. Ethyl cyclohexyl ether
  3. 1-methoxy-2-methylcyclopentane
  4. 1-methoxy-1-methylcyclopentane
  5. 1-isopropoxy-1-methylcyclopentane
  6. Tert-butyl phenyl ether
