Determine which base will work to deprotonate each compound in an acid/base extraction.

Benzene ring with a carboxylic acid on one carbon and a methyl ester group on the opposite carbon __________
Benzene ring with a three carbon chain attached to one carbon. At the other end of the three carbon chain is a hydroxyl group. ___________
Benzene ring with a hydroxyl group attached to one carbon and a tertbutyl group attached to the opposite carbon __________-

Sagot :

Answer:

A common method is to perform an acid-base reaction, which can ... acid is not particularly water-soluble due to its nonpolar aromatic ring, ... An acid-base extraction can be used to extract carboxylic acids from ... carbonic acid (H2CO3) can decompose to water and carbon dioxide gas.

Explanation:

The bases that will work to deprotonate the compounds are :

  1. NaHCO₃ or NaOH.
  2. metal alkoxides
  3. NaOH

The Benzene ring with carboxylic acid which is a weak acid can be deprotonated using NaOH or NaHCO₃ because of the weakness of the carboxylic acid.

Metal alkoxides like potassium tertiary butoxide can be used to deprotonate a Benzene ring with three carbon chain attached to a single carbon, and also containing a hydroxyl group  is a very weak acid hence the use of Metal alkoxides.

Benzene ring with a hydroxyl group attached  is also a weak acid just like the Benzene ring with carboxylic group hence it can also be deprotonated using NaOH
