CHM1002 Synthesis of Benzanilide and Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate and the Identification of ‘Unknowns’ from Spectroscopic and Physical Properties James Lucas 10394308 23/11/12 Introduction In this series of practicals it was the aim to synthesise both Benzanilide and Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate. Benzanilide was synthesised using The Schotten Baumann reaction which takes a hydrogen atom from an amino group and substitutes it for an acyl group. For Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate

In the experiment‚ synthesis of copper compounds‚ the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g‚ but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu‚ the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%‚ an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible

Experiment 11: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone by the Aldol condensation Introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction‚ under basic conditions‚ involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion to another carbonyl group. The resulting product‚ a beta-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde‚ is called an aldol because it contains both and aldehyde group and the hydroxy group of alcohol. Condensations‚ including aldol condensation‚ combine two or more molecules‚ typically with a loss of a smaller molecule (including

Synthesis of p-Nitroacetanilide (electrophilic aromatic substitution) In this experiment‚ we convert acetanilide to p-nitroacetanilide. [pic] The mechanism for the nitration is that of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The nitronium ion is directed to the positions ortho and para to the acetamido (-NHCOCH3) group. This occurs because the resonance electron-releasing effect of that group increases the electron density at those positions‚ helping to stabilize the intermediates that

Museum Synthesis Museums bring history and culture to life by allowing individuals to gain unique hands on experience that is different from learning from textbooks or television. One can never know the reality behind certain artifacts and art until they see it for themselves. The perception of viewing a multitude of replicas and pictures such as the Mona Lisa can be dramatically different from witnessing the painting up close. The interactive experience allows one to engage and immerse ourselves

Describe and evaluate one neurobiological and one psychological theory of the function of dreaming The first neurobiological theory I will look at is the activation-synthesis theory. These theory sees dreams as activation in the brain in the areas to do with perception‚ action and emotion (which occurs during REM). They are essentially random as there is an external blockade (at the top of our spine resulting in paralysis so we cannot act out our dreams) and an internal blockade as only areas
