Identification of the Major Constituent of Clove Oil with Steam Distillation The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to isolate and characterize clove oil in order to understand how to isolate organic compounds with high boiling points‚ how to perform and interpret qualitative tests for organic compound functionality‚ and to continue to learn how to perform and interpret IR spectrometry. Steam distillation was used in order to prevent the organic compound from decomposing at temperatures approaching

Introduction Eugenol is a naturally occurring chemical that has medical applications such as its use as a natural dental anesthetic. It can be extracted from cloves by using the method of steam distillation. The extracted compound will then be separated from the water using methyl chloride‚ which will then be evaporated using a rotary evaporator leaving only the essential oil‚ Eugenol. IR spectroscopy will be used to determine the structure of the extracted compound. Results and Discussion Four

HPLC Theory: System Suitability Parameters High performance liquid chromatography is defined as a separation of mixtures of compounds due to differences in their distribution equilibrium between two phases‚ the stationary phase packed inside columns and the mobile phase‚ delivered through the columns by high pressure pumps. Components whose distribution into the stationary phase is higher‚ are retained longer‚ and get separated from those with lower distribution into the stationary phase. The

Title: Preparation of Cyclohexene from Cyclohexanol Aim: To prepare an alkene‚ cyclohexene‚ by the dehydration of an alcohol‚ cyclohexanol‚ and better understand the processes that take place during this reaction. Introduction: One of the common ways of preparing an alkene is through the dehydration of an alcohol. In this experiment cyclohexanol is dehydrated to prepare cyclohexene while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. A bromine test can be later done to ensure that the end product is
