(3 Questions)

  • Q1. NMR peak of ethyl acetate
  • Ans. 

    The NMR peak of ethyl acetate typically appears around 1.2-2.0 ppm.

    • The NMR peak of ethyl acetate is usually observed as a singlet around 1.2-2.0 ppm.

    • The peak may shift slightly depending on the solvent used for the NMR analysis.

  • Q1. Introduction, what is your role and what type of reaction you handled explain in brief?
  • Q2. In presences of ester how will be selectively Acid reduced?
  • Ans. 

    Selective reduction of acid in presence of ester

    • Use a reducing agent that selectively reduces acid over ester

    • Common reducing agents are LiAlH4 and NaBH4

    • LiAlH4 reduces both acid and ester, but in presence of acid it selectively reduces acid

    • NaBH4 reduces only acid, not ester

    • Example: Reduction of benzoic acid to benzyl alcohol in presence of benzyl ester using LiAlH4

  • Ans. 

    Interpretation of NMR with coupling constant

    • Coupling constant is the distance between two peaks in a multiplet

    • It indicates the number of neighboring protons

    • The coupling constant can be used to determine the stereochemistry of a molecule

    • The coupling constant can also be used to determine the hybridization of a carbon atom

    • The magnitude of the coupling constant depends on the strength of the spin-spin coupling

Interview Questionnaire 

4 Questions

  • Q1. Name reactions, structure of organic key component, NMR analysis, organometallic reagents, handling of hazardous chemicals
  • Q2. How to handle BuLi reagent?
  • Ans. 

    BuLi reagent is a highly reactive and pyrophoric compound used in organic synthesis.

    • BuLi should be handled under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon.

    • It should be stored in a dry and cool place, away from water and air.

    • BuLi should be added slowly to the reaction mixture, with constant stirring.

    • Personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn at all times.

    • In case of fire, use a Class D...

  • Q3. What are the reagent used in Suzuki coupling?
  • Ans. 

    Reagents used in Suzuki coupling

    • Palladium catalyst (e.g. Pd(PPh3)4)

    • Organoboron compound (e.g. arylboronic acid)

    • Base (e.g. potassium carbonate)

    • Solvent (e.g. DMF, toluene)

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. How do you find the rest ethyl acetate in compound by NMR?
  • Ans. 

    Rest ethyl acetate in compound can be found by NMR using specific peaks and chemical shifts.

    • Look for the peak at 1.0-1.2 ppm which corresponds to the ethyl group

    • Look for the peak at 4.0-4.1 ppm which corresponds to the acetate group

    • Subtract the integral of these peaks from the total integral to find the rest ethyl acetate

    • Compare the chemical shifts of the peaks to known values for ethyl acetate
