positive Jones 6) Cirele the compound that would yield the following combination of qualitative test: test, positive 2,4-DNP test, and negative bromine test IO OCCH3 CHO 7) The melting point ofpure urea is 132.5-133.0° C. Predict the effect of each of the following changes on the melting point of this sample. Mixing the urea with a small amount of cinnamic acid (m.p 132.5-133.0° C). (a) m.p. increases (b) m.p. decreases (c) m.p. remains the same Mixing the urea with a small amount of salicylic acid (m.p. -158.5-159.0° C). (a) m.p. increases (b) m.p. decreases (c) m.premains the same 2· The questions that follow concern the separation and analysis of the following four aromatic compounds a) A mixture containing the compounds below was separated by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography, using silica gel as the stationary phase and a 1:1 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate as the mobile phase.

(3pts) d) Which compound would have the highest melting point? (3 pts)

Explanation / Answer

q6) The compound E is the one which gives positive Jones test, positive 2,4-DNP test and negative bromine test.

JOnes oxidation - oxidation of primary/ secondary alcohols / aldehydes with chrmium trioxide .

Thus only compound that gives Jones test is benzaldehyde E

All carbonyl compounds (ketonesand aldehydes ) give positive 2,4- DNP test .

Aromatic compounds do not give bromine test , only unsaturated compounds (alkenes and alkunes 0 give positive bromine test.

7) When we mix an impurity into a substance the m.p. is lowered. The mixture melts at a lower temperature than either of the component.

Thus in both

a) and b) the answer is m.p. is decreased.

8)In general , the less polar is the compound , the fast it moves on TLC thus has higher Rf

Thus the order of decreasing Rf is

K > P > N > M > L

K is a halide , P ester , N a ketone , M an alcohol and L is carboxylic acid

b) The more polar solvents are more powerful eluters. Thus the elution power is rougly the order of polarity of solvents.

methanol >ethyl acetate > chloroform > benzene > hexane
