17.
An organic compound (A) with molecular formula C6H6O gives a characteristic colour with aqueous FeCl3 solution. When (A) is treated with CO2 and NaOH at 410K under pressure, it gives compound (B) which upon acidification gives compound (C). Compound (C) reacts with acetyl chloride to give (D) which is a popular pain killer, Deduce the structures of (A), (B), (C) and (D) and explain all the reactions involved.
1.
16 σ-bonds.
2.
(i) The reaction of phenol with aqueous NaOH indicates that phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. It is because the phenoxide ion left after the release of a proton is stabilised by resonance but not the alkoxide ion.

(ii) Inalcohols, the bond angle of
is 108°9'. Due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen, the bond angle in alcohols is lesser than the tetrahedral angle (109°28').

3.
Benzene react with chlorine in the presenc of ferric chloride which form chlorobezene, which on further reaction with sodium hydroxide gives sodium phenoxide. Then sodium phenoxide acidified and form phenol.
4.
OH- being a strong base is a bad leaving group. When H2SO4 is added, protonation of alcohol occurs i.e -OH is converted into \(-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{O}} \mathrm{H}_{2}\)
5.
Enzymes are biocatalyst. These biocatalysts (enzymes) are used in the industrial preparation of ethanol. Ethanol is prepared by the fermentation of molasses -a dark brown coloured syrup left after crystallisation of sugar which still contains about 40% of sugar. In winemaking, grapes are the source and yeast.
6.

7.
(a)
CH3OH
8.
(c)
boiling point of t-butanol is lower than n-butanol
9.
(d)
Diethyl ether
10.
(b)
salicylic acid
11.
(c)
2-butanol
12.
(b)
secondary or tertiary alcohol
13.
(c)
\({ 3 }^{ \circ }>{ 2 }^{ \circ }>{ 1 }^{ \circ }\)
14.
(a) CH3OC2H5 undergoes cleavage by SN2 mechanism to give CH3I and C2H5OH while (CH3)3COCH3 undergoes cleavage by SN1 mechanism to give (CH3)3CI and CH3OH.
15.
(a)
tertiary>secondary>primary
16.
(c), esters having the same number of carbon atoms in the alkyl and acyl group, i.e., CH3CH2 and COCH3 group in CH3CH2OCOCH3.
17.
(i) Since compound (A) with M.F. C6H6O gives characteristic colour with FeCI3, therefore, (A) must be phenol.
(ii) Since compound (A), i.e., phenol reacts with CO2 and NaOR under pressure (i.e., Kolbe's reaction) to give compound (B) which on acidification gives compound (C), therefore, (B) must be sodium salicylate and (C) must be salicylic acid.
(iii) Since (C) reacts with acetyl chloride to form a popular pain killer (D), therefore, (D) must be aspirin.
