Sucrose‚ extracted and purified in specialized mill factories‚ is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol‚ a low pollution fuel. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry. Sugarcane is the world’s largest crop. The world demand for sugar

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Author: Instructor: Date work performed: 10.18.2012--10.25.2012 Date work submitted: 11.01.2012 Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to perform a multistep synthesis to form tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reactions was to synthesize benzoin from the condensation of benzaldehyde. A yield of 28.91% benzoin was obtained. The MP of benzoin was 127O-130O C and the IR spectra displayed a carbonyl peak at 3415 cm-1
