Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

0.1 mole of compound ‘S’ will weigh ___________ g.
(Given molar mass in g mol−1 C : 12, H : 1, O : 16)
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} &0.1 \text { mole of compound ( } \mathrm{S} \text { ) weight in gm }\\ &\begin{aligned} & =0.1 \times \text { molar mass of compound }(\mathrm{S}) \\ & =0.1 \times 130=13 \mathrm{gm} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
The reaction sequence given below is carried out with 16 moles of X. The yield of the major product in each step is given below the product in parentheses. The amount (in grams) of S produced is ______.

Use: Atomic mass (in amu): H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, Br = 80
Explanation:
First step is Fitting reaction (Wurtz-Fittig reaction) Fitting reaction: Aryl halides when treated with sodium in dry ether, two. aryl groups joined to gether to form another aromatic compounds.Here, 2 molecules of the reactant $X$ react with 2 Na in presence of dry ether and forms a coupling product with the elimination of 2 NaBr .
The reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism where the sodium metal abstracts a bromine atom. from the compound $x$, forming an aryl radical. These aryl radicals then combine to foem a biaryl (two acyl groups linked to gether)

$
\text { Overall reaction can be written as, }
$
Second step is the hydrolysis reaction. The acetal hydrolysis occurs and forms - CHO group.




2 moles of $x$ reacts to form 1 mol $P$. So, 1 mole of $X$ gives $\frac{1}{2}$ mol of $P$.
Given moles of $x$ is 16 mol.
So, the mole of $P=16 \mathrm{~mol} \times \frac{1}{2}$
$
=8 \mathrm{~mol}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
&\text { Ratio between } x \text { and } P \text {, }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& x: P \\
& 2 \mathrm{~mol}: 1 \mathrm{~mol} \\
& 1 \mathrm{~mol}: \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~mol} \\
& 16 \mathrm{~mol}: 16 \times \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~mol}=8 \mathrm{~mol}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& P \xrightarrow[\text { 2) } \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}]{\text {1) } \mathrm{NaOH}, \Delta} Q \\
& (100 \%) \quad(50 \%)
\end{aligned}
$It is Cannizzaro reaction: One-CHO group converts to
$-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}$ and the other - CHO to - COO .

Moles of $P \equiv 8 \mathrm{~mol}$
The reaction gives $50 \% Q$ from $100 \% P$. So, the moles of $Q$ is half of moles of $P$. Moles of $Q=\frac{8}{2}$ $=4 \mathrm{~mol}$
$
Q \frac{1) \mathrm{NaOH}, \mathrm{CaO}}{2) \Delta} R
$$
(50 \%)\,\,\,\,\,\,(50 \%)
$
-COOH group is removed in this reaction. On heating with a mixture of NaOH and CaO (sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide), gives decarboxylation reaction. Cao acts as a drying agent and catalyst. NaOH is used to facilitate the removal of carbon dioxide $\left(\mathrm{CO}_2\right)$.$
\mathrm{NaOH}+ \mathrm{Cao} \text { mixture is known as soda lime. }
$$
\text { - } \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH} \text { group has no change during this reaction. }
$
$
\text { Moles of } Q=4 \mathrm{~mol}
$So, theoretically moles of $R$ is 4 mol $(1: 1$ ratio. between $Q$ and $R$ ).
But, the yield given is $50 \%$. so the moles of $R$ is half of moles of $Q$.$
\text { Moles of } \quad R=\frac{4}{2}
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
=2 \mathrm{~mol}
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{R} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{PBr}_3,\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O}} \mathrm{~T} \\
& 50 \%\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \quad 50 \%
\end{aligned}
$
When alcohol reacts with $\mathrm{PBr}_3$ in the presence of $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O}$ (solvent), the reaction proceeds via $S_N 2$ mechanism and the hyphoxyl group is replaced by a bromine atom.$
\text { So, - } \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH} \text { group becomes - } \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} \text {. }
$
Moles of $R=2 \mathrm{~mol}$.
The yield given is $50 \%$. So, the moles of is $T_{\text { }}$ half of moles of $R$.
Moles of $T=\frac{2}{2}$
$
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,=1 \mathrm{~mol}
$
$
\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O} \text { is the solvent }
$
reaction is known as Williamson ether synthesis. Ether compound is formed by reacting an alkoxide $\left(RO^-\right)^{}$with an alkyl halide $(R x)$. The reaction follows $S_{N 2}$ mechanism where the alkoxide acts as a nucleophile, attacking the alkylhalide's carbon atom and displacing the halide.
$
\text { Formula: }\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_4\right)_2\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{O}
\mathrm{C}_{26} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}$Moles of T. $=1 \mathrm{~mol}$
Moles of s is half of moles of $T(50 \%$ yeld)
So, moles of $S=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~mol}$
$
\text { Moles of } S \text { is determined. }
$
To calculate the amount, molecular weight must be known.
Molecular weight of $S \Rightarrow 26 \times 12 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}+22 \times 1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}+1 \times$
$16 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}$$
=312+22+16=350 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}
$$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Moles } & =\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { molarmass }} \\
\text { So, mass } & =\text { moles } x \text { molar mass } \\
& =\frac{1}{2} \text { mot } \times 350 \text { g/mol } \\
& =175 . \mathrm{g}
\end{aligned}
$$
\text { Answer: } 175

Explanation:

Let initial moles of reactant taken = n
Total moles obtained for benzene sulphonic acid (with % yield = 60%) = 0.6n

Moles of benzene sulphonic acid before reaction II = 0.6n
Moles obtained for phenol (with % yield = 50%) = 0.6 × 0.5n = 0.3n
So over all % yield of complete reaction $=\frac{0.3 \mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{n}} \times 100=30$

In the following reaction

Identify X and Y.
Explanation:
When (1-methylcyclopentyl) methanol is treated with H$^+$ at high temperature, it is converted to 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene.

Therefore, X is 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene.
The mechanism for the same is represented below.

The H$^+$ on heating with (1-methylcyclopentyl) methanol get attached to O atom of hydroxy group, producing a positive charge on O atom. The elimination of water molecule results in the formation of primary carbocation, which undergoes ring expansion followed by elimination of proton yields product X.
The 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene undergoes ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn/ CH$_3$COOH, it gives 6-oxoheptanal.

Therefore, compound Y is 6-oxoheptanal

Y on further undergoes aldol condensation reaction to form $\alpha$, $\beta$ unsaturated carbonyl compounds in presence of NaOH followed by heat.
Final Answer

Hints :
Ozonolysis of an unsaturated compound results in replacing double bonds with carbonyl group. The Zn in acetic acid is a reducing agent.
