Nitration Of Methyl Benzoate Lab Report
Abstract: In this experiment, the methyl nitrobenzoate was prepared from methyl benzoate, concentrated HNO3, and concentrated H2SO4 via an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The HNO3 and H2SO4 were combined to form a nitrating solution, which was mixed with a mixture of methyl benzoate and H2SO4. Percent yield for the final product was calculated followed by recrystallization and melting point was measured. Introduction: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate is one of the examples of Electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The use of a mixture of Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid is the classic way to make NO2+. The two main reaction types used for this are both substitutions: Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution and Nucleophile

    In order to first perform the reaction, 1.5 mL of 4-methylcyclohexanol was added to a pre-weighed 5mL conical vial. The conical vial was then weighed to find the actual mass of 4-methylcycloheaxanol. Then, 0.4mL of 85% phosphoric acid was added to the conical vial using a plastic pipet. Six drops of concentrated sulfuric acid was then added to the vial using a glass pipet. A spin vane was then added before adding the Hickman head, water condenser and a drying tube packed with calcium chloride to the conical vial.…

    Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenze

    The supervisor notices an excess amount of m-aminobenzoic acid stored away which is currently not being used for anything. This reactant can be used in certain reactions to produce valuable solutions for ophthalmologists. This product is going to waste, and our objective is to see if we can obtain a usable end product when reacting m-aminobenzoic acid with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene. In order for this reaction to take place, we must verify that we can obtain a product through the following nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction:…

It can be observed that the H values or height equivalent to a theoretical plate for phenol at the three wavelengths (230, 235, and 260nm) are all fairly similar, they are all around the 0.03mm mark (use of one significant figure), with all three H value being above 0.03mm. It can be seen in the results that the theoretical plate height decreases as the wavelength…

    Abstract: Nitration of 2-benzylpyridine is supposed to yield 2-(2,4-Dinitrobenzyl) pyridine, when electrophilic aromatic substitution is the mechanism. Experiencing many pitfalls, however, has lead to the actual product obtained to contain the expected product, as well as many impurities. This report examines the supposed mechanism for the electrophilic substitution, a mechanism for the product’s photochromic property, as well as an explanation as to why the mechanism happens in this particular sequence.…

    5 And 6-Benzyluracil Lab Report

    Abstract: The fully propagated real time-dependent density functional theory method have been applied to study the laser--molecule interaction in 5- and 6-benzyluracil (5BU and 6BU). Different parameters like direction, strength, wavelength of the laser field have been chosen in order to obtain the most efficient excitation of molecules. Results show that the 5BU and 6BU molecular systems have different responds to the applied laser field and different, well defined laser field parameters can be chosen in order to have highly efficient and selective excitation behavior for the studied molecular systems. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that the molecular excitation is a very complex conjunction of different one-electron orbital depopulation-population…
