Explanation / Answer

General information:
Diel’s Alder reaction is one step, concerted reaction there is not formed intermediate and highly stereospecific.

Syn-addition takes place between maleic anhydride and di-methyl butadiene.

It is (4 + 2) pi cyclo addition reaction, di-methyl butadiene (4 pi electron acts as diene) and maleic anhydride (2 pi electrons acts as dienophile), cyclized to give cyclohexene having one double bond where stereochemistry retained (Syn-addition).

q. 1

From I-step, cyclic anhydride is formed from D. A. reaction

In IR spectrum of anhydride, lone pair of oxygen is conjugated to carbonyl group and

Asymmetric and Symmetric C=O coupled stretching vibrations are observed at ~ 1825 and ~ 1758 cm-1(Fermi resonance).  

And C-O stretching vib observed in the region 1300-1050 cm-1 (strong) .

After hydrolysis,

Anhydride hydrolysed in the presence of acid and gives dicarboxylic acid.

In carboxylic acid, A broad absorption band observed at 3000-2800 cm-1, due to precence of –OH of carboxylic group and it is observed low shift than simple alcohol due to presence of (intramol. hydrogen bond), hence indicating the formation of acid, which is not observed in anhydride.

Carbonyl absorption band (Sharp) also observed at 1719 cm-1 again indicating the formation of carboxylic acid, which is not observed in anhydride.

And in Both, >3000 cm-1, due to double bond CH absorption band.

2. a. The formation of cyclic anhydride has low M.P. 78-79 oC, If observed M. P. near about up to 74-75 then product will be formed but very less impurity more.

b. Anhydride has low M. P., weak forces of intermolecular present but dicarboxylic acid will be formed, after hydrolysis, and there is intramolecular hydrogen bond present, Polar molecule, strong intermolecular forces present, increase the M. P.

3. Since Diel,s Alder reaction is completed via 1:1 mol of both reactant.

If we taken 0.4 g of maleic anhudride (98 g= 1mol) then required di methyl butadiene(82 g = 1mol) will be:

= 82X0.4/98 = .3346 g

Density = mass/volume

V = M X d

V = .3346 X .72

.2409 ml

Since di methyl butadiene(82 g = 1mol) and maleic anhudride (98 g= 1mol), therefore extra amount of di methyl butadiene is needed.

4. Since medium has PEG which is water soluble and Carboxylic acid is polar and soluble in water as well as in PEG, and anhydride is soluble in ether.

Therefore we can separated by di ethyl ether through separating funnel, Etheral soluble will be anhydride and insoluble layer will be carboxylic acid.

Minimum amount of ether will be taking three times aproximately.
