Preparing nitriles from carbonyl compounds is useful in reactions because nitriles are versatile functional groups1. Not only are they versatile functional groups but they serve as precursors in several transformations. The cyano-group is found in many bioactive molecules and plays a role in hydrogen bonding to certain biological receptors.4 Nitriles are carboxylic acid derivatives because they can easily be converted to carboxylic acid under either basic or acidic conditions. Piperonal is an aromatic

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

Identify an unknown carbonyl compound © KCl http://hk.geocities.com/fatherofchemistry Objective To classify a carbonyl compound by a simple test and to identify it by the precipitation of a derivative. Principle In this experiment‚ the unknown compound is either an aldehyde or a ketone from Table 90. In the first part‚ on undergoing Tollen’s & Fehling’s tests‚ ketone will have no reaction. In the second part‚ by preparing a derivative of the compound with 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazine

The Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Organic Chemistry Lab II March 19‚ 2012 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the Grignard reagent‚ phenyl magnesium bromide‚ and then use the manufactured Grignard reagent to synthesize the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol‚ by reacting with benzophenone and protonation by H3O+. The triphenylmethanol was purified by recrystallization. The melting point‚ Infrared Spectroscopy‚ 13C NMR‚ and 1H NMR were used to characterize and confirm

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

In the reaction mechanism‚ the alpha hydroxyketone’s hydroxylic group attacks the positively charged nitrogen from nitric acid attaching it to the molecule. The nitrogen’s electrons are then kicked off on to the oxygen bearing a positive charge‚ creating water. This process formed an organic nitrate. Next‚ water is used to abstract hydrogen from the positively charged oxygen‚ forming hydronium. A carbonyl is formed as well as nitrogen dioxide gas. Simultaneously the oxygen separates itself from nitrogen

Sexual Addition may be a common problem but it still remains a relatively understood condition characterized by strong sexual urges. In recent weeks‚ the issue has resurfaced. Last week‚ a Journalist Brian Alexander(2007)‚ this psychological condition was once again questioned and the condition was described as such: "Sexual addiction is defined as any sexually-related‚ compulsive behavior which interferes with normal living and causes severe stress on family‚ friends‚ loved ones and one’s work

These individuals argue that addicts choose to put the addictive substance in their body‚ therefore triggering the subsequent chemical reaction that occurs (Schaler‚ 2000) Individuals who argue that addiction is a choice‚ do not dispute that there is a physiological reaction when the drug or alcohol enters the body‚ and that long-term use alters the addicts brain chemistry. What they take issue with is the disease concept of addiction. Proponents of
