Are Aromatic Hydrocarbons Carcinogenic Aromatic hydrocarbons or arenes are hydrocarbons characterized by alternating double and single bonds between carbons. Benzene is the most common aromatic hydrocarbon‚ but there are some non-benzene based compounds called heteroarenes‚ where a carbon is replaced by an oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ or sulfur‚ that are also aromatic compounds. Aromatic hydrocarbons exist in our daily lives regardless if we recognize them or not. Aromatic hydrocarbons are ingested or

(9)‚ toluene (8)‚ methylcyclohexane (13)‚ cyclohexane (12)‚ and tert-butylbenzene (11). This hypothesis was a result of the fact that benzylic hydrogen atoms react faster than aliphatic hydrogen atoms and aliphatic hydrogen atoms react faster than aromatic hydrogen atom atoms. The hypothesis was in fact correct and the reaction times of each hydrocarbon with different hydrogen atoms in the bromination experiment support

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product‚ tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield

NITRATION OF METHYL BENZOATE Purpose: The main objective of this experiment was to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ using the mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid by performing the process of electrophillic aromatic substitution. During this reaction‚ the combination of HNO3 and H2SO4 made a nitrating solution. The crystallization was done to accomplish pure product. The melting point and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were performed to test the purity of the product. Using

Compounds containing aromatic groups are widespread in nature‚ and for this reason chemists who aim to synthesize naturally occurring compounds in the laboratory often need to introduce substituents to aromatic rings. In the organic synthesis laboratory‚ electrophilic aromatic substitutions which result in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds are called ‘Friedel-Crafts’ alkylations and acylations‚ named for Charles Friedel of France and James Crafts of the United States‚ who together developed

Experiment B10- Photocromism and Piezochromism Reece Harms 4320288 Introduction This experiment investigates an oxidative coupling reaction in an to synthesise triphenylimidazole dimer from 2‚4‚5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole. The resulting compound was investigated for both photochromic and piezochromic properties by way of formation of a stable radical‚ utilizing visual observations and UV-Vis as a means of distinction. Both the oxidative coupling reaction and the dimers interaction with light
