We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.
A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.
CaCI2 is for calcium chloride
I would assume it would be impossible or unlikely
Answer:
B. 1-Butene rightarrow (1) BH3: THF (2)H202, OH-
Explanation:
In the hydroboration of alkenes, an alkene is hydrated to form an alcohol with anti-Markovnikov orientation.
the reagent BH₃:THF is the way that borane is used in organic reactions. The BH₃ adds to the double bond of an alkene to form an alkyl borane. Peroxide hydrogen in basic medium oxidizes the alkyl borane to form an alcohol. Indeed, hydroboration-oxidation converts alkenes to alcohols by adding water through the double bond, with anti-Markovnikov orientation.
Answer:
The answer is treated below.
Explanation:
<u>Natural gas</u>: Natural gas is not used in its pure form; it is processed and converted into cleaner fuel for consumption. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane, but contain small amounts of other gases, including ethane, propane, pentane and butane. It is a combustible, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. Natural gas is mainly used as fuel for generating heat and electricity.
<u>Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)</u>: Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a byproduct of natural gas and oil extraction and crude oil refining . At room temperature, liquefied petroleum gas is a colourless and odourless gas which consists generally of butane (C4H10) or propane (C3H8) or a mixture of both.
<u>Liquefied natural gas (LNG)</u>: Is natural gas that has been liquefied for ease of transport or storage. It is refrigerated to a very low temperature (-162 Celsius). At this temperature it becomes an odourless, non-toxic liquid that can be safely transported over long distances.
<u><em> Three countries that have most of the world’s natural gas reserves</em></u>
- Russia
- Iran
- Qatar
<em>Major advantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>
- It is less expensive when compared to other fossil fuels.
- It is safer and easier to store when compared to other fossil fuels
<em>Major disadvantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:</em>
- It costs more to recover the remaining natural gas because of flow, access, etc.
- It is not a renewable source.
- it is a combustible material, It must be handled with care.
- It does not contribute to greenhouse gases.
Three sources of unconventional natural gas :
- <em>Tight Gas</em>
- <em>Shale Gas</em>
- <em>Coalbed Methane</em>
<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Tight Gas</u>
- When Hydrofluoric acid is used to release tight gas in reserves it potentially an issue simply because the substance is so dangerous. A spill or a leak could harm workers and pollute groundwater for uses.
<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Shale Gas</u>
- Risk of ground and surface water contamination.
- Have impacts on air quality.
<u>Major problems related to the use of </u><u>Coalbed Methane</u>
- The development of coalbed methane will result to soil disturbance from construction of wells, roads, and the associated pipeline and electric power rights-of-ways.
- It has impact on wildlife.
