Question

What is the product for the Williamson ether synthesis below; provide a stepwise mechanism which accounts for its formation. Show electron flow and all the intermediates involved. Complete the rcaction. In the synthesis of Phenacetin what is the purpose of extracting the organic layer with 1 M sodium hydroxide solution. Show the reaction between Acetaminophen with NaOH and Phenacetin with NaOH What is the purpose of using potassium carbonate in this lab, provide two alternate reagents that can be used in place of K_2CO_2

Explanation / Answer

3) Acetaminophen is soluble in Sodium hydroxide. So to remove any unreacted Acetaminophen we are using 1M sodium hydroxide.

4) Potassium carbonate is used to give basic condtion to the reaction. Alternate for Potassium carbonate are Sodium bycarbonate and Sodium carbonate.
