5di. In a synthesis experiment, benzoyl chloride was reacted with benzylamine to form N-benzylbenzamide. Answer the following questions.
a. N-benzylbenzamide produced three peaks on its spectrum. In no particular order, these were m/z = 105, 211 and 77. Classify the fragments or compounds that are responsible for these three peaks.
b. Justify why it is often the case that products from reactions must be recrystallised.
c. The acid chloride, benzoyl chloride, was reacted with the amine, benzylamine, whilst sodium carbonate was present. Why was this important? Refer to the mechanism of the reaction in your justification.
d. During the work up stage of this experiment, the product was washed with HCl and then deionised water. What was/were the reason(s) for this?
ii. The table below represents the N-benzylbenzamide Carbon 13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance data.
Complete the table by first assigning a functional group to each corresponding carbon peak, then forecast the appearance of each signal in each department spectra for N-benzylbenzamide.
