SYNTHESIS OF TRANS-9-(2-PHENYLETHENYL) ANTHRACENE (A WITTIG REACTION) Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to convert carbonyl compounds to alkenes using Wittig reaction. In this case we will be synthesizing Trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl) anthracene from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and 9-anthraldehyde. We will also aim to obtaining a high percent yield and purity for the synthesis of Trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl) anthracene. The mechanism for this reaction goes thus:

*Compound Interest/Discount* Compound Interest When you borrow money from a bank‚ you pay interest. Interest is really a fee charged for borrowing the money‚ it is a percentage charged on the principle amount for a period of a year - usually. If you want to know how much interest you will earn on your investment or if you want to know how much you will pay above the cost of the principal amount on a loan or mortgage‚ you will need to understand how compound interest works. * Compound interest

Compounding in English and Vietnamese: A Contrastive Analysis Nguyen Ngoc Thao HCMC University of Education Introduction According to Wikipedia‚ a compound is a lexeme (less precisely‚ a word) that consists of more than one stem. Compounding is the word formation that creates compound lexemes (the other word-formation process being derivation). It refers to the faculty and device of language to form new words by combining or putting together old words. In other words

Reactions of Carbonyls-Aldehyde/Ketone Analysis: Introduction: The carbonyl group is a rich source of many important reactions in organic chemistry‚ with two fundamental properties that are primarily responsible for its diverse chemistry. The first is the polarization of the. Carbon-oxygen pi bond‚ owing to the relatively high electro negativity. The second property of a carbonyl function is to increase the acidity of the alpha-hydrogen atoms‚ which are the hydrogen’s

State the principle of triple beam balance A beam balance measures mass as opposed to weight‚ so the mass you weigh will be the same on the moon as it is on earth. Gravity is taken out of the equation‚ unlike a spring balance that measures weight and would measure an article to be 1/6 of the weight on the moon as it would be on earth using the same spring balance that relied on gravity. The principle is that of moment‚ or turning force/torque)‚ calculated by force x distance. Fundamentally‚
