If the Diels-Alder reaction between dimethylmaleic anhydride and furan had worked would cantharidin have been formed?

no. the answer why is listed in the text book macroscale and microscale organic experiments by williamson. I remember reading the reason there i just dont remember why.
Yes, the answer why the reaction didn't work is in the reading of the text. I just finished this lab this week.
The question is IF the reaction had worked, would cantharidin been formed.
To answer this, I would draw out the mechanism of this reaction (remember this is all hypothetical) and remember that the exo/endo orientation is important in determining this answer!

What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
Reaction of methyl amine and acetic anhydride?
No it is not among these.
What is the role of the acetic anhydride in this reaction in the synthesis of acetanilide?
The chemical reaction is:C6H5NH2 + (CH3CO)2O → C6H5NHCOCH3 + CH3COOH
What reaction would occur if toulene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene?
I'm doing the same problem..are u in my chm206 lab? lol anyway..maleic anhydride reacts with water from the toluene to form maleic acid.
Chemical reaction of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride?
(CH3CO)2O (s) + H2O (l) ----------> 2 CH3COOH (aq)
What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
What is the product of anthrance with maleic anhydride?
The product of the reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride is known as anthracene-maleic anhydride adduct. This adduct is commonly used in the synthesis of dyes, polymers, and other organic compounds.
Reaction of methyl amine and acetic anhydride?
No it is not among these.
In the aspirin synthesis excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed by the addition of water which converts the anhydride into acetic acid Write the balanced equation for this reaction?
The reaction is: (CH3CO)2O + H2O = 2 CH3COOH
What is the reaction when zinc acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid are combine?
Acetanilide
What is the role of the acetic anhydride in this reaction in the synthesis of acetanilide?
The chemical reaction is:C6H5NH2 + (CH3CO)2O → C6H5NHCOCH3 + CH3COOH
Side reaction for syclopentadiene with maleic anhydride?
Side reactions would be the reaction of cyclopentadiene with itself (dimerization) into dicyclopentadiene, as well as the formation of the exo-product along with the usual endo-product (cis-norbornene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride).
What reaction would occur if toulene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene?
I'm doing the same problem..are u in my chm206 lab? lol anyway..maleic anhydride reacts with water from the toluene to form maleic acid.
In the preparation of aspirin water is added to the reaction flask Why?
The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
Chemical reaction of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride?
(CH3CO)2O (s) + H2O (l) ----------> 2 CH3COOH (aq)
How do you prepare trifluoroperacetic acid?
by urea hydrogen peroxide reaction with tri fluro acetic anhydride
Is the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride exothermic?
A reaction between an alcohol and an anhydrid is usually exothermic, so I would say it is.
