Does ethanoic acid more closely resemble hydroxyl or carbonyl compounds in its reaction?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Ethanoic acid resembles hydroxyl compounds more than carbonyl because it reacts with sodium and phosphorus pentachloride, typical alcohol reactions. But it doesn't react with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrozine (typical carbonyl compound).

Is alcohol or carbonyl group more polar?
carbonyl group does not have hydrogen, it is a carbon double bonded to oxygen. by adding a nucleophile such as H- or water you can form an alcohol in an addition reaction.
Explain why the carbonyl oxygen in the acid-base protonation reaction of acetic acid preferentially gets protonated over the hydroxyl group in the acetic acid?
Due to double bond carbonyl oxygen is less hindered as compare to hydoxyl oxygen, therefore its electron pairs are easily available for proton.
Provide methods for preparing the following compounds by the grignard method?
The Grignard reaction is when a solution of carbonyl is added to a Grignard reagent. Grignard reactions are slow or sluggish.
What is the reaction of ethanoic acid and ethylamine?

Difference between claisen schmdit reaction and aldol condensation?
The Claisen-Schmidt reaction involves the condensation of two carbonyl compounds, typically an aldehyde and a ketone, to form an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. In contrast, aldol condensation involves the condensation of an aldehyde or ketone with itself to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. The key difference is the presence of two different carbonyl compounds in the Claisen-Schmidt reaction, while aldol condensation involves one carbonyl compound reacting with itself.
Is CaOH2 a base?
Calcium Hydroxide, or CaOH2, is a base. Generally compounds containing hydroxyl groups and metals will act as bases in reaction.

What is the observation of the reaction of sodium carbonate and ethanoic acid?
A weak bubbling.
Why would acetone not be a good solvent for the reaction with a Grignard?
Acetone has a carbonyl which is what grignard reacts with; ether however has no such thing (no carbonyl) so it can react easily.
Why carbonyl compounds will not react with hydrogen halides?
Carbonyl compounds do not typically react with hydrogen halides because the carbonyl carbon is already bonded to an oxygen atom, which gives a partial positive charge to the carbon atom. This makes the carbon atom less susceptible to nucleophilic attack by the hydrogen halide. Additionally, the oxygen atom acts as a stabilizing group and hinders the reaction with the hydrogen halide.
What are aldols?
Aldols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of an hydroxyl (-OH) groupe attached to the alpha carbon of an aldehyde (-CHO). Aldols can be synthesized via an aldol condensation reaction, in which are involved two aldehydes and a basic catalyst.
