PAPER III 1 Penicillin can be made in the laboratory by reacting 6-aminopenicilanic acid with a suitable acyl chloride. For a particular penicillin, the acyl chloride is the CH3CH2CH=CHCH2COCl. Since the acyl chloride used can be easily made from the corresponding carboxylic acid, the chemist has decided to work with CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CO2H because the acyl chloride is more reactive. H3CH2CH=CHCH2CO2H + PCl5 CH3CH2CH=CHCH2COCl + POCl3 + HCl (a) (i) The acyl chloride, CH 3CH2CH=CHCH2COCl, can be obtained by reacting CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CO2H with PCl5.
