1 a 1-bromobutane to pentanenitrile React with HCN. b React with methanol (with an acid catalyst). c Addition of water (by reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid followed by water). d Dehydrate with P2O5 2 a Add water (by reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid followed by water) to produce ethanol, then oxidise with K2Cr2O7 /H2SO4• b Reduce (using NaBH4• for example) to propan-2-ol, then react with KBr/H2SO4. 3- Step 1: Friedel-Crafts acylation using ethanoyl chloride and aluminium chloride.
- Step 2: Nitration electrophilic substitution using a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids.
- Step 3: Reduction (hydrogenation) using Sn/ concentrated HCI.
31.2 Organic analysis AQA A2 Chemistry C31 Organic Synthesis And Analysis Kerboodle Answers : Page No. 225
1 React with sodium hydroxide, acidify and then add silver nitrate solution. A precipitate will form -white for chlorine, cream for bromine, and pale yellow for iodine. To more clearly distinguish the cream and pale yellow precipitates, add concentrated ammonia -the precipitate will dissolve in the case of bromine, but not in the case of iodine. The white precipitate formed with chlorine will dissolve in aqueous ammonia. 2 a Because OH–ions will form a precipitate with silver nitrate. b Using HCI adds Cl– ions, which will form a precipitate with silver nitrate. 3 a alkene and carboxylic acid b I CH2= CHCOOH c Banner 2Practice questions: Page No. 226-227
1 (a) (b) (c) 2 (a) 3 4 (a) ( (i) C6H5NO2 (ii) CH3(CH2)2CH3 (iii) CH3COOH (b) (i) Catalyst (ii) Catalyst (iii) 5- acid
- Add silver nitrate solution
- If compound A is a chloroalkane a white precipitate of silver chloride would be formed.
