1. If by mistake, chemist used 100% ethanol rather than THF as asolvent, would the synthesis proceed as expected? Why or whynot?
2. Why is bromotoluene added dropwise to the reaction flaskrather than all at once?
3. Draw a dipole moment (see chapter 1) to explain the polarityof the following Grignard reagent?
MgBr
1. In this reaction we will be heating butadiene sulfone toperform a Diels-Alder reaction. What side product is generated uponheating butadiene sulfone and how will we trap this sideproduct?
2. In most chemical reactions it is a bad idea to create aclosed system, that is a system which cannot attenuate to pressurechanges. In this reaction what measures are taken to avoid a closedsystem and why would it be a particularly bad idea to create aclosed system for this Diels-Alder reaction?
