Draw the full structual diagram of ethyl-ethanoate, labeling relevent bond angles and explain why the molecule has this structure.

(unable to draw diagram and upload in this format) ethyl ethanoate has the semi structural formula of CH3COOCH2CH3. According to electron repulsion theory the bond angle around the second carbon atom woul...

Plan out a 4 step organic synthesis to form N-methyl Butanamide from 1-Bromopropane. Include relevant reagents and conditions for each reaction. Include 1 mechanism for one of the stages.

  1. The chain length needs to be extended by 1, so we can use NaCN dissolved in ethanol to extend the carbon chain by 1. This will produce butanenitrile. Mechanism here.2) Now that the ...

Predict the boiling points (lowest to highest) of Butan-1-ol, 2-methylpropane and Butane

Butan-1-ol will have the highest boiling point of all 3 as it has Hydrogen bonds acting between molecules. This occurs due to the presence of the electronegative O atom. 2-methylpropane is a branched vers...
