CHEMISTRY 220 PRACTICAL REPORT PRACTICAL 1 Title: Nitration of Acetanilide Aim : To observe how an Aromatic electrophilic Substitution reaction takes place via the nitration of Acetanilide i.e. how hydrogen on a carbon chain is replaced with a nitro group. Reagents and Chemicals: • Acetanilide (5g) • Glacial acetic acid (5mL) • Concentrated sulphuric acid (10mL &1.5mL) • Concentrated Nitric acid (2.0mL) • Methanol (30-50mL) Modification to experimental
Premium Sulfuric acid Electrophilic aromatic substitution Oxygen
In this experiment‚ we used methyl benzoate from the last experiment with HNO3 and H2SO4 to synthesize methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. First we added methyl benzoate to 12 mL cooled conc. Sulfuric acid in a flask. In a separate flask‚ we made a solution of 4 mL conc. Sulfuric acid and 4 mL nitric acid and then added dropwise to the solution of methyl benzoate in an ice bath on a stir plate while maintaining the temperature of reaction between 5-15 °C. After the addition was complete we took the flask out

Preparation of methyl m-nitrobenzoate by nitration using methyl benzoate‚ nitric acid‚ and sulfuric acid Aileen Quintana TA: Sijie Tues/Thurs 11:50 42067 Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to explore the concepts of electrophilic aromatic substitution‚ specifically nitration by synthesizing methyl m-nitrobenzoate using methyl benzoate‚ nitric acid and sulfuric acid. This nitration is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution. A

Nitration and Purification of Bromobenzene Abstract: An electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction was performed on bromobenzene with nitric acid producing both 2-bromonitrobenzene and 4-bromonitrobenzene. Products of the reaction were purified through multiple recrystallizations and column chromatography creating multiple crops of a yellow powder. The percent yield of products was determined to be 51%. The melting point of Crop 1 was found to be 110-115 °C‚ and Crop 2 was found to be 37-90

para-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ which is why they are collectively called parabens. However‚ in contrast to its cousins‚ ethylparaben‚ butylparaben‚ and propylparaben‚ methylparaben receives its specific name owing to the fact that its chemical structure contains the methyl alkyl group. Methylparaben is found in several fruits‚ in particular blueberries‚ where it acts as an antimicrobial agent. Methylparaben is an anti-fungal agent often used in a variety of cosmetics and personal-care products. Methylparaben is commonly

In this experiment the initial mass of the sodium carbonate used was 2.69g. In each titration‚ 3 drops of methyl orange was added to the sodium carbonate solution. With this information the titration can begin‚ and the results obtained are shown below: Titration readings Titration Rough 1 2 3 4 5 Initial 0.00 4.30 22.00 21.00 15.00 25.90 Final 4.30 22.00 38.60 37.60 32.60 42.20 Titre (cm3) 4.30 17.70 16.60 16.60 17.60 16.30 Therefore‚ the average titre would be calculated as follows;

Synthesis of Methyl Stearate The purpose of this lab was the convert liquid methyl oleate to solid methyl stearate by catalytic hydrogenation. Firstly‚ we produced hydrogen gas using solid mossy zinc and sulfuric acid. Using the hydrogen produced in the previous reaction‚ we were able to convert the liquid methyl oleate to solid crystals of methyl stearate. A mineral oil was also used to bubbler was used to maintain the hydrogen pressure slightly above the atmospheric pressure and to prevent back-diffusion
