b) 3-Chloro-3-ethylpentane
c) 2-Bromo-3-ethylpentane

If acidic H2O2 is mixed with Fe^2+, which reaction occurs: the
oxidation of Fe^2+ to Fe^3+ or the reduction of Fe^2+ to Fe? Give
the balanced redox reaction for each possibility and explain your
reason for selecting the reaction which will occur. Assume standard
solution concentrations.
For a) I have:
red: H2O2 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> 2 H2O E=+1.78 V
oxi Fe2+ ----> Fe3+ + e- E=-0.77V
Ecell = 1.01V
I'm stuck on b) but for the explanation I...
1. draw a mechanism for the conversion of methoxybenzyl alcohol
to methoxybenzaldehyde.
2.The ethyl acetate layer was extracted with 0.2M NaOH to remove
traces of methoxybenzoic acid that result from additional oxidation
of the aldehyde to the carboxylic acid. Explain how crystals of methoxybenzoic acid
could be isolated from the NaOH solution.
3. Explain how TLC could be used
to monitor the reduction of methoxybenzaldehyde to methoxybenzyl
alcohol using NaBH4 as a reducing agent.
