Abstract:
This is free radical reaction and reduction of benzophenone occurred by UV irradiation. Free radical on benzophenone due to photo excitation abstract hydrogen from isopropanol and gives benzopinacol and acetone. Chemically benzophenone is 1,1,2,2, tetraphenyl 1, 2 ethylenediol. Benzopinacol can easily isolate from reaction mixture by suction pump and characterized by using common analytical techniques like UV, IR etc. Keywords: Photochemistry, benzophenone, benzopinacol, free radical.
Introduction
Photochemistry is the study of the chemical interactions which occur when molecules interact with light. Organic chemists are interested in photochemical preparations of molecules since light can act as a catalyst (or reactant), causing interesting reactions to occur. For example, we have previously discussed the use of ultraviolet light as a catalyst for the formation of radicals in the halogenation of alkanes.
Chemicals and Reagents:
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Step 1: In this laboratory, we will use ultraviolet light from sunshine to promote a radical reaction. This particular reaction is not catalyzed by light; rather, it is driven by light. In other words, we can think of photons of light as being a needed reactant in this process.
Apparatus:
The melting points were determined by open capillary method and are uncorrected. Infrared spectra were recorded on FTIR 8400s Shimadzu using KBr. To confirm the completion of
