What product would you obtain if you evaporated the water from the NaOH layer prior to acidifying the layer? (we are trying to extract p-tert-butylphenol; it is in aqueous solution with NaOH, which we used to extract it from a mixture dissolved in ether). Prior to acidifying with HCl, it is ionic (phenoxide).

In the workup of the grignard reaction of turning bromobenzene to benzoic acid, we start by mixing the grignard with HCl and diethyl ether. We discard the aqueous layer and wash the organic layer with water. Then, the organic layer is extracted with NaOH. Then, the extracts are heated to remove ether. Then, it is precipitated with HCl. Precipitate collected. Let it dry and finally, purified with toluene and hexanes. Please make a flowchart of the process of this workup indicating what products and byproducts are forming. And what compounds are in the aqueous layer and organic layer in the steps.

A chemist wanted to synthesize the anesthetic 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropane. He used ethoxide ion and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane for his synthesis and ended up with no ether. What was the product of his synthesis? What reagents should he have used?
Some alcohols undergo rearrangement or other unwanted side reactions when they dehydrate in acid. Alcohols may be dehydrated under mildly basic conditions using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in pyridine. The alcohol reacts with phosphorus oxychloride much like it reacts with tosyl chloride, displacing a chloride ion from phosphorus to give an alkyl dichlorophosphate ester. The dichlorophosphate group is an outstanding leaving group. Pyridine reacts as a base with the dichlorophosphate ester to give an E2 elimination. Propose a mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol by POCl3 in pyridine.
Propose a method to separate a mixture containing phenol, benzoic acid, naphthalene, and p-nitroaniline.

p-toluic acid is prepared from 3.42 grams of p-Bromotoluene. When p-Bromotoluene was mixed with dry ether, the mixture was warmed until the ether begins to boil (34.6 °C). When the reaction is almost complete, dry ice (3-4 mL in a beaker) was prepared and the mixture was poured into it. After some time, 5 mL of 6 N HCl was added. The solvent used for the recrystallization is 100 mL of 30% ethanol. The reaction equation is given on the figure. What is the actual yield? What is the theoretical yield? How many moles of p-toluic acid was produced?

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
