Felbinac Synthesis Lab Report
Introduction
Chemists often find a method to determine the level of “greenness” of a chemical reaction, or its “atom economy”. A higher atom economy is preferable because a greater amount of the reactants will be present in the product as opposed to the byproduct.1 A Suzuki reaction is classified as an organic, coupling reaction that includes boronic acid and a halide that are catalyzed by a palladium complex under basic conditions. Other palladium- catalyzed coupling mechanisms include the Heck and Stille reactions. Palladium typically exists in the oxidation states of 0, +2, and +4. PdCl2 is usually the starting compound for several other heterogeneous palladium catalysts such as Pd/C and Pd/BaSO4.1 Suzuki coupling is an efficient way to

As shown in the balanced chemical reaction in figure 1, Felbinac is synthesized from 4-bromophenyl acetic acid, phenylboronic acid, and 10% Pd/C. Figure 1: The balanced chemical reaction showing the synthesis of felbinac.
It functions by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1, which releases prostaglandins that cause pain as a response to injury. In a study conducted by Moore et al., 160 patients were subject to various topical NSAIDS to determine their effectiveness. Out of the six drugs tested, the results indicated that felbinac, ibuprofen, and piroxicam were the most useful in relieving pain due to acute and chronic conditions.3 Figure 2: The four steps involved in the catalytic cycle of a Suzuki coupling

The reaction was carried out specifically with water and heterogeneous palladium (10% Pd/C) that made this reaction relatively safe and simple to isolate. First, phenylboronic acid, sodium bicarbonate, and 10% Pd/C were added to a 25 mL round bottom flask with distilled water and stirred at room temperature until it homogenized, which was about 10 minutes. Next, 4- bromophenylacetic acid was added to the flask and the mixture was refluxed for about 50 minutes at about 80°C. TLC was used to monitor the reaction progress every 15 minutes. A relatively non-polar solvent system of 25% ethyl acetate/ 75% hexanes was used as the mobile phase. Each plate contained a starting material (4-bromophenylacetic acid), a reaction mixture spot, and a co-spot. The TLC at 15 minutes showed the starting material to have an Rf of about 0.12 and reaction mixture lane had only one spot at an Rf of 0.07, which was probably the starting material. At 30 minutes, the reaction lane showed one spot at Rf of 0.13 and another spot at Rf of 0.03. The starting material standard was seen to have an Rf of about 0.14. At 45 minutes, the reaction lane had a dark spot around 0.26 and a faint spot around 0.15 which indicates the starting material. At 60 minutes, the reaction lane only contained one spot which had an Rf of about 0.28. This means that the reaction had completed

    TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases, Transcription is located in the Nucleus, and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA, and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus, mRNA is also made through Transcription, It also takes information that doesn't directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins, DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in and matches then becomes a single strand. The only thing that changes during this process is the Thymine gets replaced with Uracil.…

    Procedure: In this lab we mixed many different substances to see if they formed a double replacement reaction. We also looked for precipitants that were formed from the mixing of the different substances. We used barium nitrate, potassium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, aluminum sulfate, and iron (III) chloride in set one. In set two we used potassium chloride, sodium hydroxide, magnesium nitrate, barium chloride, sodium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate. For each set, we mixed two drops of one compound in five wells of a spot plate. We then added two drops of all the other substances to the compound. We repeated this procedure for set two. If a precipitant formed from any solution, we recorded the color on our data table. If no precipitant formed, we recorded NR. After mixing and recording all the compounds we rinsed to spot plate thoroughly with water.…

    The intention of this lab is to analyze the formation of acetylferrocene using column chromatography. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction created acetylferrocene and diacetylferrocene, using phosphoric acid as a catalyst for the reaction between acetic anhydride and ferrocene (once applying heat). During column chromatography, a solution is passed through a filtration system of silica, sand, and cotton. This creates colored or colorless bands, dependent on the type of chemical compound, and is comparable to a reverse TLC test. The differences in polarity pull down the compounds at different rates, allowing for the separation.…

    In this TLC lab, we explored the relative polarities of Acetylsalicylic Acid, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Caffeine based on their functional groups. The most overall polar analgesic is considered to be the analgesic that contained the most polar function groups. The amine and amide functional groups are the most polar. In this experiment, we found that both these functional groups are found in Caffeine. As a result, Caffeine was the most polar out of Acetylsalicylic Acid, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Caffeine. Aside from Caffeine, Acetaminophen has one amide functional group. This makes it the second most polar analgesic. In addition, Acetylsalicylic Acid has an ester group. Since ester group is not as polar as either amine or amide groups,…

    Upon following the instructions stated in part I of the experiment, 1.5 grams of barium chloride were placed into a covered crucible and heated atop a Bunsen burner for approximately 5 minutes. The one sparkling, white particles indicated no noticeable change in color, however, there was a considerable lack of shine or shimmer in the once sparkling crystals. The litmus color, which was placed above the smoke vapors of the barium chloride, showed that there was no release of acid during the first heating attempt. After heating the crucible’s contents for an additional 15 minutes, there was no change in the appearance of the barium chloride, nor any indication that an acid had been released during the second heating. Once the crucible was heated…

    The midst, eldest and most long-standing substances used for the management of pain and other medical complications is opioids. It is well-known that the naturally occurring opioids (primarily morphine and codeine), the related endogenous opioid-like peptides and synthetic chemical substances have properties that can be indorsed to action that is mediated by binding at the various opioids receptors within the central and peripheral nervous systems. A number of opioids are available for clinical use, including morphine, hydromorphone, levorphanol, oxymorphone, methadone, meperidine, oxycodone, and fentanyl.…

    Literature Survey 2. Literature Survey Literature survey indicated 135 possible routes for the synthesis of 2-Aminobiphenyl. It must be noted that all routes available were lab-scale and no patents for the desired compound were available. Also, majority of these synthesis routes gave extremely low yields of our desired product and produced a number of other by-products in higher yields. Therefore, only the pathways giving significant yields of the desired product have been listed below. i. Suzuki Coupling of aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids (Myung-Jong Jin and Dong-Hwan Lee, 2010) Suzuki coupling reaction is an example of heterogeneous catalysis. The advantage of heterogeneous catalytic systems is that they can be considerably re-used whilst keeping the inherent activity of the catalytic centre. Aryl bromides and iodides are widely employed in heterogeneous coupling reactions. But from a practical point of view, the use of aryl chlorides is highly preferable because they are readily available and inexpensive. The catalyst used was a triethoxysilyl-functionalized palladium complex immobilized on the surface of magnetite Fe3O4 coated with silica. The significant advantage of this catalyst is retained activity over a number of runs and magnetic recyclability. However catalyst preparation is complex and involves microwave heating and thus cannot be applied industrially. Suzuki couplings are usually carried out in organic solvents or aqueous organic mixed solvents. The chemical reaction involved is as follows:…
