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

Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from

Tie-Dye Grignard Synthesis Abstract: 4-Bromo-N‚N-dimethylaniline underwent a Grignard reaction with diethyl carbonate to produce a type of the tie-dye chemical triarylmethane. This specific triarylmethane produces a vivid crystal violet color when dyed. The experiment was first heated under reflux to produce the necessary Grignard reagent as a grey liquid. It was then reacted with diethyl carbonate and hydrochloric acid to produce crystal violet. The resulting chemical was very absorbent to

Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Hai Liu TA: Ara Austin Mondays: 11:30-2:20 Abstract: In this experiment‚ phenylmagnesium bromide‚ a Grignard reagent was synthesized from bromobenzene and magnesium strips in a diethyl ether solvent. The Grignard reagent was then converted to triphenylmethanol‚ a tertiary alcohol with HCl. The reaction for phenylmagnesium bromide was: The reaction for Grignard to triphenylmethanol was: In the formation of the Grignard reagent

Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the Grignard reagent methylmagnesium iodide and react it with benzoin to form the 3o alcohol 1‚2-diphenyl-1‚2-propanediol‚ through an addition reaction pathway. Introduction: Grignard reagents are alkyl or aryl-magnesium halides that act as the nucleophile in Grignard reactions‚ where ketones are reacted with the reagent‚ then treated with acid to produce an alcohol. In the case of this experiment‚ methylmagnesium iodide was created

Introduction In a Grignard reaction‚ a Grignard reagent (R–MgX) adds to the carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone to form an alcohol (Figure 1). The reaction of a Grignard reagent with formaldehyde can be to synthesize a primary alcohol‚ with any other aldehyde can be used to synthesize a secondary alcohol‚ while the reaction with ketone is useful in the synthesis of a tertiary alcohol. Figure 1. General reaction mechanism of a Grignard Reaction The preparation of the Grignard reagent involves

Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol from Benzophenone Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the tertiary alcohol triphenylmethanol from a Grignard reagent‚ phenyl magnesium bromide. The Grignard reagent was synthesized from bromobenzene and magnesium and then reacted with benzophenone to produce triphenylmethanol. It was important that water be excluded from the reaction‚ in order to prevent the formation of benzene. The reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide and benzophenone
