2.) Bart was a truly superb organic laboratory student. Unfortunately, his partner Homer was a bit careless. Bart was carefully saving solid samples of benzoic acid and ethyl-4-aminobenzoate in his lab locker; he needed to run melting point determinations on these samples after they had dried for a week. Before he got a chance, Homer picked up both samples, dumped them together in a beaker, and was about to carry them to a waste jar. Bart recovered the beaker, and decided he could easily separate the two components. How would Bart best recover the ethyl-4-aminobenzoate from the solid mixture ?
a. Dissolve the solid mixture in ether, extract the ether solution with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide, collect the aqueous layer and add an acid.
b. Dissolve the solid mixture in ether, extract the ether solution with 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid, collect the aqueous layer and add a base.
c. Dissolve the solid mixture in ether, extract the ether solution with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide, collect the ether layer and let the ether evaporate.
d. Dissolve the solid mixture in ether, add about the same volume of water, shake, separate and discard the aqueous layer, let the ether layer evaporate and collect the product.
3.) After Bart separated the benzoic acid + ethyl-4-aminobenzoate mixture, he recorded nujol mull IR spectra for the separated materials, as well as for some naphthalene he had in his locker. The resulting spectra are in Figure 1. Which spectrum is most likely the spectrum of benzoic acid ?

E) None of the spectra are a good match
4. ) Bart also had vials of acetone, chloroform, and toluene which Homer dumped into another waste beaker. Bart sees no problem, he thinks he can separate this mixture also. What technique would be his best choice ?

D.) column chromatography with an alumina stationary phase
5.) If the 3-component mixture of problem 4 were injected into a gas chromatograph, which component would have the shortest retention time ? ( assume a helium carrier gas, a non-polar stationary phase, injector and t.c. detector at 150 C, column at 75 C )

E) b-j and g-o
8.) Bart and Homer have returned to the lab. They are trying to run a Diels-Alder reaction, starting with 4.80 grams of cyclohexadiene (MW 80.13) and 5.88 (MW 98.06) grams of maleic anhydride. At the end of the reaction, Homer recovered 7.38 grams of the adduct, but has no idea what to report as a percent yield. Bart pulls out a calculator and quickly comes up with a number. What was the percent yield he calculated ? (Choose the closest answer, within 1 % )
A) 79.7 % B) 69.2 % C) 65.0 % D) 45.5 %
E) None of the above choices are close ( i.e. within 1% )
9.)Which of the following statements is FALSE about the experimental process used in the Diels-Alder reaction?
A) Glassware should be washed and rinsed with hot tap water immediately before adding reagents.
B) Maleic Anhydride is toxic.
C) The product may be recrystallized from the methanol solvent.
D) The I.R.'s of the product is different from maleic anhydride
E) No flames are used during this reaction.
10.) Suppose you have determined a GC spectrum for a sample oil containing an unknown diene. You are preparing to run a Diels-Alder reaction using this oil. You find 3 peaks.

Questions 17 through 20 are spectra identification problems. You must identify two unknowns, referred to as compound A and compound B. Table I, attached at the end of the exam, has a list of possible compounds. Each compound listed in table I has a two digit identification code. After you have identified compound A, you will enter the first digit of its identification code as the answer for question 18, and then enter the second digit of the code as the answer for question 19. You then repeat this process for compound B in questions 20 and 21.
