Step-by-step solution
2 stepsLet's break down the rest of this organic scheme.
Determine the structural formula of compound E.
Compound C is formed from toluene (C7H8) by nitration (). This yields nitrotoluene, primarily a mixture of 2-nitrotoluene and 4-nitrotoluene.
Compound E is formed from C (nitrotoluene) by reaction with or . This is a reduction reaction that converts a nitro group () to an amino group ().
Assuming C is 4-nitrotoluene (a common major product), then E would be 4-aminotoluene (p-toluidine).The structural formula of E is:
Specifically:
CH3 / \ C-----C // \\ C C \\ // C-----C \ / NH2State the reaction conditions and reagents for i) to v).
-
i) Toluene A (Benzyl chloride)
- Reagent: (chlorine gas)
- Conditions: UV light (or heat)
-
ii) A (Benzyl chloride) B (Benzyl alcohol)
- Reagent: Aqueous (potassium hydroxide) or aqueous (sodium hydroxide)
- Conditions: Heating (reflux)
-
iii) Toluene C (Nitrotoluene)
- Reagent: Concentrated (nitric acid) and concentrated (sulfuric acid)
- Conditions: 50-60°C (or room temperature)
-
iv) C (Nitrotoluene) E (Aminotoluene)
- Reagent: (tin) or (iron) with concentrated (hydrochloric acid)
- Conditions: Heating (reflux)
-
v) Toluene F (Benzoic acid)
- Reagent: Acidified (potassium permanganate)
- Conditions: Heating (reflux)
