1 answer:

Hei, here it is !

Phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol and acyclic alcohols because the phenoxide ion is more stable than the alkoxide ion. In an alkoxide ion, the negative charge is localized at the oxygen atom. But in a phenoxide ion, the negative charge is delocalized over the benzene ring.

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
