Answer:

a. 2. The reagents were added to a round bottom flask prior to the reaction being heated under reflux.

b. 3. The solution of benzoic acid and methanol was heated in a steam bath

c. 4. The reaction mix was washed with sodium carbonate solution.

d. 1. Magnesium sulfate is added to the dichloromethane layer before the solvent is distilled off.

Explanation:

Fisher esterification is an equilibrium process. There are unreacted carboxylic acids in the reaction mix which are weak acids and they neutralize into aqueous solution. Magnesium sulfate is drying agent there water should be removed from dichloromethane solution before the solvent is distilled off.

Explain why the amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid does not participate in the reaction
lubasha [3.4K]

This is because amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid is an aniline and is less electrophilic than an alkyl amine.

<h3>What is an Aniline?</h3>

This is an aromatic amine which consists of a phenyl group attached to an amino group.

The amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid being an aniline makes it less electrophilic which is why an alkyl amine participates in the reaction instead.
