Derivates of a compound
« on: March 17, 2005, 03:56:40 PM »
Hi,

I don't really understand this question. The question states:

What derivative would you prepare to distinguish between isobutyl alcohol and 3-pentanol?

My answer: 3,5-Dintrobenzoate and p-Nitrobenzoate

Is my answer correct? ???

Thank You :)

One of those would probably work since nitro and dinitrobenzoates tend to form nice solids.  Then you might be able to tell the difference by melting point, although I don't know the MP difference for those two esters.
