Suggest a possible mechanism for the acid catalyzed reaction of a typical ketohexose to give 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Taking the acid catalysed hydrolysis of fructose C6H12O6, the mechanism begins with the protonation of an -OH group as shown.

This is now followed by dehydration and formation of a keto-enol tautomer. The keto form is now dehydrated followed by the protonation of a second -OH group.

A second dehydration followed by deprotonation leads to the formation of  5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Ethyl acetate can be prepared by an SN2 reaction. Draw the alkylbromide and nucleophile used in the reaction. Remember to includ
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Few important points related to S_N2 reaction:

1. S_N2 is a one-step reaction that follows second order kinetics.

2. In S_N2 reaction, a transition state is formed in situ.

3. Strong nucleophiles like OH^- \ or\  CN^- are used in case of bi-molecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Ethyl acetate can be prepared by a second-order nucleophilic substitution reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide.  

The reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide is drawn below:

A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 5L/min into a large tank that initially held 200L of a 0.5% nitric acid solut
leonid [27]

Answer:

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

Explanation:

Let V (t) be the volume of solution (water and

nitric acid) measured in liters after t minutes. Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid

measured in liters after t minutes, and let c(t) be the concentration (by volume) of

nitric acid in solution after t minutes.

The volume of solution V (t) doesn’t change over time since the inflow and outflow

of solution is equal. Thus V = 200 L. The concentration of nitric acid c(t) is

c(t) = x(t)

V (t)

=

x(t)

200

.

We model this problem as

dx

dt = I(t) − O(t),

where I(t) is the input rate of nitric acid and O(t) is the output rate of nitric acid,

both measured in liters of nitric acid per minute. The input rate is

I(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

20 Lnit.

100 Lsol.

=

120 Lnit.

100 min

= 1.2 Lnit./min.

The output rate is

O(t) = (6 Lsol./min)c(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

x(t) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

=

3x(t) Lnit.

100 min

= 0.03 x(t) Lnit./min.

The equation is then

dx

dt = 1.2 − 0.03x,

or

dx

dt + 0.03x = 1.2, (1)

which is a linear equation. The initial condition condition is found in the following

way:

c(0) = 0.5% = 5 Lnit.

1000 Lsol.

=

x(0) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

.

Thus x(0) = 1.

In Eq. (1) we let P(t) = 0.03 and Q(t) = 1.2. The integrating factor for Eq. (1) is

µ(t) = exp Z

P(t) dt

= exp

0.03 Z

dt

= e

0.03t

.

The solution is

x(t) = 1

µ(t)

Z

µ(t)Q(t) dt + C

= Ce−0.03t + 1.2e

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

= Ce−0.03t + 40.

The constant is found using x(t) = 1:

x(0) = Ce−0.03(0) + 40 = C + 40 = 1.

Thus C = −39, and the solution is

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.
