Answer:

React it with CH₃MgBr and work up the product with saturated ammonium chloride solution

Explanation:

Grignard reagents convert esters into tertiary alcohols.

The general equation is

\text{RCOOR}' \xrightarrow[\text{2. H}^{+}]{\text{1. R$^{\prime \prime}$MgBr}}\text{RR$_{2}^{\prime \prime}$C-OH}

The Grignard reagent in this synthesis is methylmagnesium bromide. You prepare it by reacting a solution methyl bromide in anhydrous ether with magnesium and a few crystals of iodine.

The reaction consumes 3 mol of CH₃MgBr per mole of dimethyl carbonate, and everything happens in the same pot.

Acid workup of the product usually involves the addition of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and extraction with a low-boiling organic solvent.

The mechanism involves:

Step 1. Nucleophilic attack and loss of leaving group

(a) The Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl of dimethyl carbonate, followed by (b) the loss of a methoxide leaving group.

Step 2. Nucleophilic attack and loss of leaving group

(a) A second mole of the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl of methyl acetate, followed by (b) the loss of a methoxide leaving group.

Step 3. Nucleophilic attack and protonation of the adduct.  

(a) A third mole of the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl of acetone, followed by (b) protonation of the alkoxide to form 2-methylpropan-2-ol.

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0°c to water at 70.0°c is __________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wa
kogti [31]
First, calculate for the amount of heat used up for increasing the temperature of ice.

      H = mcpdT
       H = (18 g)*(2.09 J/g-K)(50 K) = 1881 J

Then, solve for the heat needed to convert the phase of water.
    H = (1 mol)(6.01 kJ/mol) = 6.01 kJ = 6010 J

Then, solve for the heat needed to increase again the temperature of water.
    H = (18 g)(4.18 J/gK)(70 k)
    H = 5266.8 J

The total value is equal to 13157.8 J

Answer: 13157.8 J
