    Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Lab Report

    Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Lab Report

    In this experiment, the cyanide ion served three purposes: first of all, it acted as a nucleophile, then it stabilized the intermediate carbanion, and in the end functioned as a leaving group. The Benzoin produced was then in turn purified and used to synthesize Benzil in the next experiment through Copper (II) ion oxidation. The Benzil was obtained by catalytic oxidation of the Benzoin using the Copper (II) ion as the catalytic oxidant. The Benzil produced was then purified and used as the reactants in the third and final experiment of the sequence which was this one, to produce Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone which is a five-membered carboxylic ring. The Benzil was reacted with 1,3- Diphenylacetone to undergo adol condensation and therefore produce Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reaction to from the Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone requires the loss of -hydrogen to the base, resulting in a negatively charged carbon that bonds with the carbonyl group from the benzil. The bonding then…

    Dehydration and Gc Lab Report

    In an E1 reaction, where E stands for elimination and 1 stands for unimolecular. The breaking of the C-LV bond is completed before any reaction occurs between the base to lose a hydrogen and form the carbon-carbon double bond [1]. When the more substituted alkene is the dominant product, the reaction follows Zaitsev's rule. Zaitsev's rule states that the major product of a β-elimination reaction is the most stable alkene [1].Acid-Catalyzed Dehydration is the elimination of a molecule of water from adjacent carbon atoms. An alcohol can be converted to an alkene by dehydration, which is often brought on by heating the alcohol with either 85% phosphoric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid [1]. The objective of this experiment is to dehydrate 3-methyl-3-pentanol to obtain the product mixture of isomeric alkenes 3-methyl-2pentene and 2-ethyl-1-butene. Then use the gas chromatography to separate the product mixture and analyze the composition [2].…

    In Experiment 9, distillation was used to carry out the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol using 4:1 mixture of phosphoric and sulfuric acid. Gas Chromatography was then used to measure the products. Two products were formed. The theoretical yield of the alkene mixture was 3.914 g. The actual yield of the mixture was 0.73 g. The percent yield for the reaction was 18.65%. Peak A had an area of 0.3 mm2 and a percentage of 4.6 %. Peak B had an area of 6.21 mm2 and a percentage of 95.39%.…

    Conversion of Alcohol to Alkyl Halides

    Conversion of Alcohol to Alkyl Halides

    This lab consisted of the conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides through common substitution methods. These methods include SN1 and SN2 mechanism, both of which can occur for this type of reaction. For both reactions, the first step of protonation will be to add hydrogen to the –OH group and then the rest of the reaction will proceed according to the type of mechanism. SN1 reactions form a cation intermediate once the H2O group leaves, then allowing a halide (such as Br) to attack the positively charged reagent1. On the other hand, SN2 reactions are one-step mechanism in which no intermediate is formed and the halide attaches as the leaving group detaches1. Rearrangements of the product are possible during the SN1 mechanisms, but not for SN2 mechanisms. This lab will examine the reaction of 1-propanol and 2-pentanol with NaBr in H2SO4, in which the H2O acts as the leaving group and Br as the attaching nucleophile (1). After the reaction has taken place through reflux and distillation, the product is able to be examined through NMR and IR spectroscopy analysis. Finally, these graphs will help in determining the products of each reaction and the type of mechanism used.…

    Reactivities of Alkyl Halides in Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions

    In the substitution mechanism there are two basic kinds of reaction SN1 and SN2 Both of them have similarities and differences.SN1 favors for tertiary carbon compounds and next secondary but unlikely for primary carbon compounds which is vice versa for SN2 mechanism. When compare both mechanisms instead of nucleophilic, SN1 the strength of nucleophilic is not important where as in SN2 needs strong nucleophilic; based on these behavior of reaction we can predict which reaction is SN1 and SN2.…

    Unimolecular Elimination Reactions

    “This cyclohexene from cyclohexanol reaction belongs to a broad class of organic transformations called elimination reactions, and within that class, this E1 elimination reaction constitutes another of the cornerstone reactions of organic chemistry. Mechanistically related to the SN1 reaction, the E1 often competes with attempted substitution.” (5) Through proper choice of reaction conditions, it can usually be made the predominant or exclusive pathway. For example, one of the principal ways to prepare alkenes is via the acid catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol…
