Question

Assuming that the synthesis of compound A proceeds in 89% yield, and the subsequent reaction to give compound B is quantitative, calculate the amounts of all reagents necessary to make 10 g of 1,4-dihydropyridine A following the procedure described in this experiment.

a) 11.24 g
b) 11.79 g
c) 12.47 g
d) 13.00 g

Answer 1

To make 10 g of 1,4-dihydropyridine A, the amount of reagents necessary is 11.24 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amounts of all reagents necessary to make 10 g of 1,4-dihydropyridine A, we first need to determine the theoretical yield of compound A. Assuming a 89% yield for the synthesis of compound A, we can calculate the theoretical yield as follows:

Theoretical Yield of Compound A = 10 g / 0.89 = 11.24 g

Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) 11.24 g.
