The objective of this lab was to prepare n-butyl bromide or n-bromobutane‚ which is derived from an alcohol and an acid. In this case‚ n-butyl alcohol and sulfuric acid were the reagents. There were two methods of distillation that was involved in this experiment. The first was by reflux distillation‚ which is used to speed up a chemical reaction without having the reactants/ products evaporate or explode. Data Table 1 indicates the amount of each reagents that was prepared for the reflux apparatus

Substitution | Synthesis of n-Butyl Bromide and t-Pentyl Chloride | | Jessica | [Pick the date] | Abstract The synthesis of the alkyl halide n-Butyl Bromide from alcohol is the foundation for the experiment. During the isolation of the n-butyl bromide‚ the crude product is washed with sulfuric acid‚ water‚ and sodium bicarbonate to remove any remaining acid or n-butyl alcohol. The primary alkyl halide halide n-butyl bromide is prepared by allowing n-butyl alcohol to react with sodium bromide and sulfuric

Lab 5 n-Butyl Bromide Preparation Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to properly extract and distill n-butyl bromide It is ideal to perform this technique with accuracy‚ which can be measured by the percent yield. Chemicals: n-Butyl Bromide- clear‚ yellow liquid that is slightly soluble in water. Molar weight of 137.02g and has zero reactivity. Sodium Bromide- white‚ crystals‚ granules. Soluble in water with no reactivity. Molar weight of 102.89g. Sulfuric Acid- colorless liquid

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus‚ the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals

Experiment 23: Synthesis of an Alkene April 5‚ 2013 Purpose: Results and Discussion The weight of our n-Butyl Bromide sample (actual yield) was 0.09g. The percent yield was found to be 4.38%. Only 0.09g of the theoretical 2.055g yield was obtained. The boiling point was 104° C‚ which is higher than the literature value of 101° C. This is due to the sample being somewhat impure‚ as impurities tend to increase boiling point. When IR spectroscopy was performed‚ there were no OH stretches

of t-Butyl-Chloride March 8 & 15‚ 2012 Theory: Alkyl halides can be synthesized when alcohols react with hydrogen halides. An alkyl halide is a halogen-substituted alkane‚ and a hydrogen halide is a compound consisting of a hydrogen bonded to a halogen (H-X). Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon bearing the halogen atom. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to prepare t-butyl-chloride

The tert-butyl group has been broadly used to protect functional groups in natural product synthesis such as amino acid‚ peptide and protein chemistry [1]. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group is known as protecting group for amides in organic synthesis. The introduction of BOC group improves the solubility of organic precursors and their processability in organic synthesizes [2]. The methyl substituted pyridine derivatives were widely reported for their various biological activities such as anxiolytic
