Bromo-2-Methylpropane Lab Report
Through this experiment, I determined the relative rates of reactions of several alkyl bromides under SN1 and SN2 conditions. Through careful analysis, I was able to determine the relative rates of reactions of several alkyl bromides. My results do not match my predictions. The differences between my predictions from the results I observed, for the NaI/acetone test, include: 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane was the third compound to react, where I had it as the first compound to react, and 1-Bromobutane was the first compound to react, where I had it as the third compound to react. The differences between my predictions from the results I observed, for the AgNO3/ethanol test, include: 1-Bromobutane was the first compound to react, where I had it as

    Chem 1211K Lab Report

    The identification of the melting point of the organic acid was done to find another characteristic of the acid and to test the purity of the recrystallized pure acid. A 2-4 mm layer of unknown sample was placed into a capillary tube sealed on one end. Then the capillary tube was inserted into the side a Bibby Sterlin device. The plateau was set to 200°C on the melting point apparatus. Once the plateau temperature was reached, the sample was watched carefully. When the sample first began to melt and when it was fully melted was recorded. These numbers were the range of the melting point. A slow melting point of the unknown organic acid and a standard sample was completed next. A new plateau was set about 10°C lower than the observed melting point of the unknown sample. This time once the plateau was reached, the heating was no more than 1°C per minute. This gave a much more accurate read of both melting points. If the standard did not melt in the range listed on the label of the bottle, that meant the machine was not working properly. The standard sample and the unknown organic acid melted in their appropriate ranges.…

    Stilbene Dibromide Lab Report

    The purpose of this experiment was to successfully produce stilbene dibromide by using a more sustainable approach, which would prevent less environmental issues. This was done by brominating trans-stilbene and then using the elimination process on the dibrominated product. This process is considered “greener” compared to the original bromination procedures. In order to create the alkyl halides, which are able to undergo chemical transformations more readily than the carbon-carbon double bond, onto the trans-stilbene the addition process of halogenation in needed.…

    Bromelian Enzyme Lab Report

    Bromelian added to Gelatin: Bromelian is an enzyme found in pineapples. When Bromelian is added to gelatin it breaks down the protein and does not allow the gelatin to solidify. There are several factors that can cause an enzyme to slow down or to completely stop reacting. For example, temperature and pH can effect enzyme activity. Canned pineapple juice and fresh pineapple juice were used to see how the enzyme would react differently. In fresh pineapple juice the Bromelian have would have been denatured as it would have been in canned pineapple juice. This is because canned pineapple juice has been heated and had gone through many processes to preserve it. When the tube with water was placed in ice it took two minutes and eight…

    Bis 102 Lab Report

    Enzymes encompass our lives by carrying out various processes that have both negative and positive effects on our bodies, and the aging of our skin is no exception. In BIS 102, Dr. Monfared emphasizes the importance of enzymes and its varied functions that make biological processes achievable. As a result, these biological catalysts allow life to take place by reducing the activation energy needed for chemical processes, such as the breakdown of sugars and proteins. While a majority of the catalyzed reactions are beneficial for our wellbeing, others are disadvantageous especially in older age. As individuals progressively age, enzymes do more than just carry out necessary reactions; they also start to degrade various regions of our body, one…

    Competing nucleophiles

    Base on the data table, 1-bromobutane dominated the composition of 85.02%, which indicates the conclusion that the mechanism for 1-butanol is SN2, and bromide is a better nucleophile. The first reason is that the substrate is a primary alcohol. The SN2 reaction is the nucleophilic attack of a central atom which kicks out the leaving group. A primary alcohol only has hydrogens plus the leaving group attached to the central carbon. Since the hydrogens do not hinder the nucleophilic attack, SN2 reaction is favored. The second reason is that bromide is a better nucleophile. Nucleophlicity is an essential factor in SN2 mechanism since the nucleophile is included in the rate determining step.…

    Sn1 and Sn2 Reactions

    In this experiment the purpose of the lab was to study the relationship of structure and reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions by using qualitative tests of reactivity. Before the experiment began, students were asked to predict whether the reagents would cause an SN1 mechanism, SN2 mechanism, or both. When predicting the outcome of SN1 and SN2 reactions, the nature of the carbon skeleton, nature of the solvent, and the nature of the leaving group are all taken into account. The experiment called for a two part reaction, sodium iodide in acetone (SN2) and silver nitrate in ethanol (SN1). A series of 8 test tubes were each filled with a different substrate to be tested by these two reagents. Approximately 4 drops of each substrate was added along with 2mL of reagent. If a precipitate was observed, then one can conclude than one of these mechanisms occurred. As shown in the data and observations page, some substrates took part in only one mechanism such as 2-chlorobutane whereas others took part in both mechanisms such as benzyl chloride. During the experiment it was noted that all the substrates besides 2-chlorobutane, t-butylchloride, and Bromobenzene underwent both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. Our results varied from the predicted outcomes as many of our substrates took on both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. One possible source of error would be due to the fact that even after vigorously cleaning test tubes and different scientific apparatuses there were still residual contaminants that would affect our results. These contaminants could have caused a faulty precipitate, which would call for incorrect diagnosis of an SN1 or SN2…

    This reacted in 10 seconds because bromocyclohexane is secondary bromine, and has steric strain, since it is a cyclic compound. The bigger steric in a molecule, the harder it is for the nucleophile to attack the leaving group (-Br) from the opposite sides, therefore, SN2 reaction is slower than SN1 for bromocyclohexane…

    Barnidipine Hydrochloride Lab Report

    Barnidipine hydrochloride is ([3S]-l-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl methyl [4S]-2,6-dimethyl-4-[m-nitrophenyl]-l,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate hydrochloride) has been synthesized and developed as an antihypertensive drug by Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Physicochemically, Barnidipine hydrochloride differs from other dihydropyridines, such as nifedipine or nisoldipine, in its water solubility. The solubility of Barnidipine at room temperature is 2.89 mg/ml [1]. Literature review reveals that several analytical methods by HPLC and LC–MS–MS have been developed for the detection of Barnidipine in formulations and biological fluids [2,3]. Hence, authors propose a simple LCMS method that is developed and validated in achieving good…
