The Diels-Alder Reaction of Anthracene with Maleic Anhydride 1 The Diels-Alder Reaction of Anthracene with Maleic Anhydride Microscale Diels-Alder Reaction Leah Monroe March 6‚ 2003 Organic Chemistry Lab II Experiment performed on February 25 and 27‚ 2003 Abstract: This experiment involved a reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride via a Diels Alder reaction to yield 9‚ 10-dihydroanthracene-9‚10-α‚ β-succinic anhydride. Anthracene was the diene and maleic anhydride was the

Maleic anhydride underwent the Dials-Alder reaction with distilled cyclopentadiene as the dienophile. The reaction was a cycloaddition which produced cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicarboxylic Anhydride surface. (1) Product one had a mass of 9.351 grams and product two had a mass of 9.572 grams. The theoretical yield was found to be 10.047 grams‚ which makes the percent yield to be 93.07%. Melting Points were found to confirm the purity of the product. Product one had a melting point of 163.7-164

Diels-Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and anthracene was conducted. Reflux mechanism was used for the reaction to occur. To increase the speed of the reaction‚ xylene was used because of its high boiling point. After the reaction was complete‚ 1.08g of the off white product was obtained with a yield of 69.7%. It was not clear if a pure product had been formed because time constraints did not allow us to perform thin layer chromatography. Introduction The Diels-Alder reaction is a commonly

Experiment 28: The reaction of Butanols with Hydrobromic Acid Pre-lab Objective: The objective of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane with different catalyst:substrate ratios to determine which ratio is the most economically favorable. Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate the chemical reaction with being consumed

of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by these steps:

the reaction of butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic acid as our acid catalyst

Experiment 6 Preparation and reactions of boric acid Objectives: To prepare boric acid from sodium tetraborate (borax) To carry out tests on the prepared sample of boric acid To study the physical and chemical properties of boric acid Introduction: Boron is an element in the p-block of the periodic table. It has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p1 and is in group 3 or goup 13 (IUPAC classification). In nature‚ it consists of two isotopes 10B (19.6%) and 11B (80.4%). Boron is bonded

Aim During this experiment I will be investigating if heating limestone and changing the concentration of the acid will affect the rate of reaction. Preliminary work Before doing our main experiment‚ we will have to conduct another experiment‚ to see what concentration of acid we will have to use. We done this using 0.1M‚ 0.5M and 1M of Hydrochloric acid‚ and 0.1g of powdered limestone‚ we used powdered limestone‚ as it would be a fairer test‚ I think this as all the particles of limestone will
