Q1)- Green about this experiment: According to GCP#3 i.e. Less hazardous chemical synthesis: extraction of crude caffeine pose little toxicity to human health and the environment.(1) Q2) Things not green: According to GCP# 5 i.e. Safer solvent and auxiliaries: In liquid-liquid extraction of caffeine‚ Dicholoromethane was used which is a hazardous chemical and have potential acute health effects(2). According to GCP#12 i.e. Inherent safer chemistry for accident prevention: The separatory

Extraction is a method used for separating and isolating materials. A compound is pulled from solvent A to solvent B and in this case‚ both solvents are miscible. These two concepts are not capable of mixing together; when they are mixed together‚ they form a bilayer. This can be seen when mixing oil and water together. When thinking of extractions‚ one can picture how coffee gets extracted. The flavors‚ molecules‚ caffeine‚ etc. are extracted from the coffee beans. In this experiment‚ a solution

The purpose of the experiment was to perform an electrophilic addition reaction by the bromination of cinnamic acid. The product of this reaction is 3-Phenyl-2‚3-dibromo propionic acid‚ which is purified by recrystallization. Cinnamic acid (3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid) is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. The electron rich π cloud (see Figure 1) in the double bond of this structure is nucleophilic and can be considered a Lewis base. It can therefore be saturated by the addition of a halogen to the double

Introduction:The purpose of this lab was to determine the activating effect of aniline‚ phenol‚ anisole and acetanilide after reacting with pyridinum tribromide in order to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution. The melting point of the isolated products were measured against the standards in order to determine how strong of an ortho/para activator the compound was based on the product(s) and melting point obtained. Theory: Electrophilic aromatic substitution is an organic reaction that takes

The alkylation of 1‚4-dimethoxybenzene is very favorable because of the presence of two methoxy groups. The groups act as activators to electrophilic aromatic substitution because of their ability to donate electrons through resonance. This enhanced activation helps favor the initial substitution. After this‚ the ring has two methoxy groups and an alkyl group attached to it. The addition of the alkyl group further activate the ring for another electrophilic aromatic substitution. The addition of

Steam distillation of cloves produced 0.53g of an oil which contained in its IR spectrum the functional groups O-H (at 3520 cm-1)‚ sp2 C-H (3080 – 3000 cm-1)‚ aliphatic C-H (2980 – 2940 cm-1)‚ and both alkene C=C (at 1640 cm-1) and aromatic C=C (at 1514 cm-1). The IR spectrum is attached to this report. These data are consistent with the structure of eugenol‚ shown in Figure 2 below: In addition‚ the IR of the product from the steam distillation of cloves closely corresponds with that of an

Lab 3: Crystallization Report Objective: the objective of this lab is to introduce the technique of crystallization. Background: The chemicals used in part A were Sulfanilamide and Ethyl alcohol. Sulfanilamide(C6H8N2O2S)‚ or sulfonamide antibiotic‚ functions by competitively inhibiting enzymatic reactions involving para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). PABA is needed in enzymatic reactions that produce folic acid which acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of purine‚ pyrimidine and other amino acids

INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbons are compounds that consists carbon and hydrogen only. They are the simplest organic compounds. Hydrocarbons‚ because of their number and variety‚ are classified into different ways. One way of classifying hydrocarbons is in which way carbon atoms are connected. It can be classified as either a chain aliphatic hydrocarbon or a cyclic hydrocarbon. Chain aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds that are linked either in a single or branched chain. An example of this is hexane
