What is the function of toluene in the synthesis of butyl propanoate? To absorb water from the salt solution in the phase separator and slowly carry into the reaction flask so that a steady amount of water is kept in the reaction mixture. O All esterifications need to be run in toluene because it is one of the few solvents that can dissolve the carboxylic acid and the alcohol at the same time. O To absorb excess acid. To azeotrope with water and transfer the water from the reaction mixture to the phase separator thereby driving the reaction to completion. To azeotrope with the butyl propanoate and remove it from the reaction mixture by transferring butyl propanoate to the phase separator.

Restate the paragraph. The main objective of the laboratory activity was to make aspirin also known as acetylsalicylic acid in its scientific name. It was successfully done as aspirin was synthesized using the combination of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In this reaction, salicylic acid's hydroxyl group on the benzene ring interacted with acetic anhydride to generate an ester functional group. This is an esterification reaction that produces acetylsalicylic acid. Sulfuric acid was utilized as a catalyst to start the esterification reaction. Some unreacted acetic anhydride and salicylic acid, as well as sulfuric acid, aspirin, and acetic acid, remained in the solution after the reaction was completed. The process of crystallization was used to obtain pure crystals of a substance from an impure mixture. Upon completion of the lab, analysis, and calculations, , it is evident that the synthesis of aspirin is possible using these methods but that the yield will be relatively low
In an experiment, triphenylmethanol is prepared using the Grignard reaction. The Grignard reaction involves preparation and reaction of a very nucleophilic organo-magnesium compound. The Grignard reagent is very reactive and is easily destroyed by reaction with atmospheric water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The Grignard reagent must be prepared under strict anhydrous conditions (dry glassware, dry solvent). The volative solvent, diethyl ether, helps to prevent oxygen or carbon dioxide from entering the reaction vessel. Reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium in ether produces phenylmagnesium bromide. This Grignard reagent then reacts with methyl benzoate to produce the corresponding alkoxide. Reaction of the alkoxide with aqueous acid then produces the alcohol. Why does pressure develop when the separatory funnel containing aqueous sulfuric acid and the ethereal solution of organic products is shaken?

Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) In analyzing the products, you discover that the substitution pattern resulting from the reaction with phenol differs from the reaction with nitrobenzene. Explain this difference in substitution patterns using one or more judiciously selected reaction mechanisms or portions of mechanisms.
Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.
