The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from a Grignard reagent. The Grignard reaction technique was used in this synthesis but due to the fact that it is such a strong nucleophile and base‚ it was important to prevent water from interfering with the Grignard reaction. Purity of the product was determined by measuring the melting point. Reagent Table: Structure Name Molecular formula Molar mass Density Melting point Boiling Point Diethyl ether C4H10O

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize methyl m-Nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ concentrated HNO3‚ and concentrated H2 SO4 by an electrophilic substitution reaction. The H2 SO4 and the HNO3 were initially combined to form nitronium ion which was then used as an electrophile in the reaction. Crystals that were collected after the formation of the methyl m-Nitrobenzoate were collected by vacuum filtration and the product was isolated and purified

reaction is designed to put functional groups onto aromatic rings. This is done through an electrophilic aromatic substitution where a positive species is strong enough to pull electrons out of the ring to bond it‚ and the ring pulls hydrogens in to rearomatize the ting is substitution. One way of doing this is through using a Friedel-Crafts method. If there are already substituents already on the ring the electrophilic attack of the carbocation or acylium ion so that the new group goes ortho or para to

Conclusion: Addition reaction of Alkenes: Bromination of (E)-Stilbene 1. Addition reaction is a reaction that involved two molecules that combine to make a larger product. Addition reaction has two main types‚ electrophilic addition and nucleophilic addition. An electrophilic reaction is when the pi bond of a molecule is removed to make two covalent bonds that are bonded to two new molecules. A nucleophillic addition is a reaction that removed the pi bond from a molecule and adds covalent

Trans-resveratrol has long been known to exhibit antioxidant properties owing to the presence of three hydroxyl group which can readily scavenge any free radical either by donating a hydrogen atom or by forming a non radical product with the radical. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS)‚ the most potent of free radicals have been shown to be involved in initiation of heart and cancer related diseases by damaging DNA and other macromolecules in the body. It is associated

Endocrinology – Case study 1 A 37 year old female with a recent history of dizziness‚ shakiness and intolerance to heat and sees her GP. Her blood tests come back as normal apart from a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) of <0.05 mU/l and free thyroxine (T4) of 30.1 pmol/l. Normal Ranges of TSH‚ T4‚ and T3 The results received from the patient blood tests indicate abnormal levels of these hormones. The reference ranges of these hormones are: TSH has a range of 0.4-4.5 mU/l‚ free T4 has a range of
