Lab 3: Grignard Synthesis Objective: The goal of this lab is to synthesize a Grignard reagent from bromobenzene and magnesium metal in diethyl ether. This same Grignard reagent would then be used to prepare a tertiary alcohol and then purify and characterize the product.

benzophenone and bromobenzene by the formation of a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed to dry and the percent yield‚ melting point‚ and the IR was obtained. The mass

The percent yield of meso-1‚2-dibromo-1‚2-diphenylethane was calculated to be 66.36% and with a melting point of 235.1°C. Therefore‚ it can be concluded that this experiment was successfully conducted as the percent yield obtained is only 33.64% off from the equilibrium point‚ and because the melting point met the literature value. The percent yield for the product was less than 100%‚ indicating that were experimental errors‚ such as an undesirable side reaction‚ or more likely‚ an incomplete reaction

Purpose The purpose of the experiment is to determine the percent yield of the precipitate; by performing double displacement reaction between solutions of two different compounds. Introduction First of all when making a solution of two different compounds; there will many variables that can be considered during the experiment. However‚ the variables are controlled variables. Controlled Variables ∙amount of water that will be dissolved with the compound (amount of water until the compound is

a Grignard reagent‚ and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Once made‚ the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone‚ benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol. The purity of the final product will then be considered by melting point and IR spectroscopy. Final purified triphenylmethanol weighed 8.02 grams and melted at 158.5-162 degrees Celsius. Introduction: Grignard reagents

Dr. Mbah December 6‚ 2012 Percent Yield of a Chemical Reaction Introduction Yield is the quantity of product in a chemical reaction‚ the theoretical yield of a reaction can be calculated using mole ratios from the balanced chemical reaction. The actual yield has to be obtained and measured in a laboratory. It may be usual to often find the actual yield to be less than the theoretical yield due to many different factors. This gives rise to the concept of percent yield. Sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric
Premium Stoichiometry Chemistry Yield
The percent yield was calculated to be 171% indicating a source of error. The high percent yield was due to the product being wet since we did not have enough time to dry the product with the vacuum filter—since we had to evacuate the building due to the fire alarm. If we were able to vacuum filter our product more‚ the percent yield would be close to 100%. 1. Assign the peaks in your NMR spectrum of your salicylic acid. See NMR spectrum on back 2.

It allows compounds to react with acidic compounds‚ therefor is must be free from acids as well as water during the desired reaction. Another important aspect of Grignard reagent is that refluxing is necessary to
