Question:
Predict the product of the oxidation using KMnO4 of 1-(tert-butyl)-3,5-diisopropylbenzene and create a reagent table for the reaction using 5 grams of the benzene compound. The yield of the product will be 67%.
Use the reagents below as a model for what equivalents you would need and what reagents are needed for this reaction aside from the KMnO4 and the benzene compound.
Compound | Amount | MW | mMol | Eq |
p-nitrotoluene | 3g | 137.14g/mol | 21.88 | 1 |
Sodium carbonate | 3g | 105.99g/mol | 28.30 | 1.3 |
potassium permanganate | 9g | 158.03g/mol | 56.95 | 2.6 |
Water | 225mL | 18.02 mL | 12486.23 | 570.7 |
Sodium Bisulfate | ----------- | 120.06g/mol | ----------- | ----------- |
Sulfuric Acid | ----------- | 98.08g/mol | ----------- | ----------- |
AND
Predict the product of the nitration of para-methoxy toluene using the directing rules we talked about. You'll also have to make the reagent table for this reaction which should include the same reagents from the table below. Yield is 54%, calculate the grams and the mol as per usual.
Compound Name | Amount | MW | mMol | Eq |
Sulfuric Acid | 16mL | 98.08 g/mol | 298.5 | 6.7 |
Methyl Benzoate | 6.1g | 136.15 g/mol | 44.8 | 1 |
Nitric Acid | 4mL | 63.01 g/mol | 95.9 | 2.1 |
