The mechanism for this reaction is The product is not likely to undergo further titration at the reaction conditions provided. Generally‚ polynitrated products do not form except under harsh conditions. For example‚ the third nitration of toluene in the production of TNT only happens in boiling concentrated sulfuric acid. Although the theory states that there will only be one product‚ methyl m-nitrobenozate‚ there are three possible products‚ so characterization is necessary. This

fumes‚ at higher environmental temperatures‚ will result in quicker death. Gasoline is obtained from petroleum in oil refineries‚ and used as fuel in combustion engines. It is made of over 250 types of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene and benzene are used to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Other additives are also added to improve engine performance and reduce the emission of harmful gasses formed as byproducts of the combustion process. Some hydrocarbons found in gasoline

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Abstract: This procedure demonstrates the nitration of methyl benzoate to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Methyl benzoate was treated with concentrated Nitric and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization‚ melting point and infrared

Introduction Of all the drugs out there‚ inhalants are probably the easiest drugs anyone can obtain. Almost everyone has used inhalants from young children to full grown adults. The use of inhalants is a lot more harmful to the body physically and mentally then what most believe. So before you decide to pick up a marker and sniff it‚ let me give some incite on inhalants and what can be the consequences of using them. Origin The chronic use of inhalants dates as far back as 800 B.C. During

Toluene is a clear colorless liquid that has an aromatic odor. It ignites in air at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also less dense than water and because so will float atop it. Toluene is non-corrosive. Toluene is in a ton of things! Toluene is used in aviation gasoline‚ high-octane blending stock‚ and petroleum/coal production. It is used as a solvent in things we use everyday like paints‚ coatings‚ and gums. Toluene occurs naturally in crude oil and in the tolu tree. The tolu tree is where Toluene

In conclusion to the distillation lab‚ I think our data shows that our experiment went well. Our graph resembles the graph in the lab handout (graphs attached to lab notebook sheets). The fractional distillation shows the sharp slope between when the cyclohexane burns off and mostly only toluene remains. The microscale graph seems to be accurate because it shows the large jump where the cyclohexane is burned off. To view the apparatuses used in the experiment look at the attached pictures. To

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Introduction: Nitration is an example of an electrophile aromatic substitution reaction‚ where nitro (NO2) group is being substituted for a hydrogen on an aromatic compound. This is achieved by the formation of the nitronium ion by protonation of nitric acid from sulfuric acid. The zirconium ion is a strong electrophile and can react with aromatic compound such as Methyl benzoate to form an arenium ion intermediate. The arenium ion is then depronated to reform

Mona Vaidya April 8‚ 2014 Professor Diaz Chem 317 Section: 20711 Lab Experiment: Nitration of Bromobenzene Introduction: The chemical reaction of nitration consists of a nitro group being added to or substituted in a molecule. Nitration can basically be carried out by a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid; this mixture is useful to obtain the active nitronium ion. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a method used when a functional group is needed to be substituted on
