The Synthesis of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid

Amoco Process

In the Amoco process, terephthalic acid is produced by oxidation of p-xylene by oxygen in air:
Diagram 3.1

The process uses cobalt-manganese-bromide catalyst. The bromide source can be NaBr, HBr or tetrabromoethane where bromine functions as a regenerative source of free radicals. In this process, acetic acid is the solvent and oxygen from compressed air is the oxidant. The combination of bromine and acetic acid is found to be highly corrosive and hence the equipment is lined with titanium.

Cooxidation

The cooxidation technique uses auxiliary substance which is simultaneously oxidized to H2O2

    4. The reaction of the unknown with bromine gave a negative result meaning the solution did not turn clear, but rather, maintained an orangish brown color. This is interpreted to mean that bromine in not adding to either side of an alkene bond, so there is no C=C bond in the unknown compound.…

    The melting point ranges we got for compound B ranged from 110.8-114.0 °C, while the melting point range for benzoic acid is 121.0-123.0°C and 103.0-107.0°C for 4-amino acetophenone. Since the ranges we acquired for compound B are directly in between both acid and base melting points, we can conclude that the purity for compound B is relatively high due to the compound being made up of equal parts of benzoic acid and 4-amino acetophenone. Thus saying that our melting point ranges are fairly accurate because they exemplify an equal percentage of both compounds, which is exactly what compound B is made up of. The purity can also be concluded through the melting points depression because depression arises from impurities within the lattice of a crystalized sample.…

    Ever wonder what truly goes in to the food that is produced and sold in our grocery stores. You would be surprised as to what is used to grow the food we eat. Conventionally grown foods can use trace amount of nicotine and arsenic to keep food pest free. Conventionally grown food can be pumped with hormones that allow the crops and animals to grow larger or produce more fruit and vegetables. By using all of the artificial products in conventionally grown food we change the flavor, size and color of fruit, vegetables and animals, including their byproducts. People may not realize what is used to grow these huge vegetables and chicken breasts. Organically grown food is not only tastier but also has more health benefits when compared to conventionally grown food. We will discover the benefits and disadvantages to both organic and conventionally grown food. This will provide the reader with tools to make a decision on to whether to use organic or conventionally grown food.…

    In this experiment, benzoin was oxidized by nitric acid to benzil, which in turn was rearranged to benzilic acid. Prior to beginning the experiment, the theoretical yield of benzil was discovered. The limiting reactant in the reaction, benzoin + nitric acid benzil, was benzoin at 0.00141 moles. This value was discovered by the initial amount of the reactants used: 0.30 grams benzoin and 1.5 ml Nitric Acid (see Eq 1). Using the moles of the limiting reagent benzoin, the theoretical yield of benzil was calculated to be 0.296 grams (see Eq 2). Before crystallization, the…

    Radical Bromination demonstrates the process of halogenation – where a halogen replaces a hydrogen in a molecule. Mechanism starts by breaking the bromine bonds by heat/light, forming radical halogen (initiation). The bromine radical then breaks a C-H bond on the molecule, forming a benzylic radical, and that same radical then attacks Br2 to regenerate bromine radical. Termination will then occur when the concentration of Bromine runs low. NBS is also used in this experiment to keep the bromine concentration low.…

    Dehydrating Cyclohexanol

    To begin the procedure of dehydrating cyclohexanol into cyclohexene, we assembled a simple distillation apparatus, using a heating element that did not include a flame. The reason behind this is because the cyclohexene is highly flammable, so as to remove any unnecessary risk we used a heating pad. We then created our cyclohexanol mixture of cylcohexanol (6mL), sulfuric acid (10 drops), phosphoric acid (8 mL), and a boiling cheap which we then used on our apparatus. We heated the mixture to no more than 88 C so as to be sure we distilled all the cyclohexene, and not the phosphoric, sulfuric, and cyclohexanol. Having distilled our mixture to a temperature of 88…

    The purpose of this project is to identify an unknown organic acid (X) by conducting various experiments to determine the acid’s unique properties. By determining selected constant properties of the unknown and then comparing these properties to the constant properties of known substances, it is possible to identify an unknown substance. The properties used to identify the unknown must be intensive, or independent of amount. Both chemical properties and physical properties are intensive properties used in determining the identity of an unknown (Maserton, p. 15).…
