When (S)-2-bromopropanoic acid [(S)-CH3CHBrCO2H] reacts with concentrated sodium hydroxide, the product formed (after acidification) is (R)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, commonly known as (R)-lactic acid. This is the normal stereochemical result for an SN2 reaction. However, when the same reaction is carried out with a low concentr

You are working at your station and the 100-mL round-bottom flask in which you are running a reaction in ether solvent suddenly catches fire. b. The person working across the laboratory bench from you allows
In preparation of methyl benzoate, what is the purpose of 1. washing the organic layer with sodium bicarbonate solution? 2. washing the organic layer with saturated sodium chloride solution? 3. treating the organic layer with calcium chloride pellets?
Compound A (C7H14O) burned with a yellow, nonsooty flame and did not decolorize a bromine-methylene chloride solution. It did give a positive 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine test, but a negative Tollens test. Treatment of the compound with lithium aluminum hydride followed by neutralization with acid, produced a Compound B, which gav
Imidazole, acting as a nucleophile, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phenol acetate by attack on the carbonyl carbon atom of the ester. The imidazole displaces the phenoxide anion and forms acetyl imidazole. In turn, the acetyl imidazole is quite unstable in water and hydrolyzes to form acetic acid, and regenerates the imidazole mole
Lower solubility in water: Glucose or stearic acid Lower pH in solution: Butanoic acid or 1,5-butanedioic acid Higher melting point: Trans-CH3(CH2)5CH=CH(CH2)7COOH or Cis-(same compund) Please briefly explain each so I can understand apply it in the future.

Show the intermediates including all the resonance hybrid structures for the pentyl anion, that are formed. What products would expect to form and in what ratio. For some reason, I don't believe my reactions are done correctly. Could you please explain it to me the correct way? (Please see the attachment).
Both naphthalene and azulene have 10 pie electrons and are aromatic. Pentalene is apparently antiaromatic and is unstable even at -100 degrees C. Heptalene has been made but it adds bromine, it reacts with acids, and it is not planar. Is Huckle's rule applicable to these compounds? If so, explain their lack of aromaticity.
