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

Introduction Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride was used in this experiement to synthesize 4-methoxyacetophenone with the use of a reflux apparatus. Friedel-Crafts reactions can be done by alkylation‚ which involves mixing an alkyl or acyl halide with a Lewis acid‚ or acylation‚ which is done with acid chlorides or anhydrides(Lefevre). Acylation was used because it does not have as many disadvantages aklyations reactions have such as polyalkylation‚ second electrophilic attacks

Simple Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves

Acetaminophen Abstract: The aim of this experiment is to prepare Acetaminophen (p-acetamidophenol)‚ an amide. Acetaminophen will be created by treating an amine (p-aminophenol) with an acetic anhydride. Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to

PREPARATION OF TIN TETRAIODIDE 09/06/2012 Introduction The objective of this project was to prepare tin tetraiodide through the following reaction: Sn+2I2∆SnI4 and to measure the melting point of tin tetraiodide. Tin tetraiodide was recrystallized after the synthesis. The percent yield and the theoretical yield of tin tetraiodide were calculated. Recrystallization is to further improve the purity of tin tetraiodide. The solvent is carefully chosen to be toluene in order to maximize the recovery

Abstract: All the materials were measured and weighed. It was found in the experiment that the yield of copper hydroxide in 40%. Introduction: The copper (II) sulphate is then placed in 100 mL of distilled water. Then 20 mL of CuSO4 is measured and placed 100 mL of distilled water. This can later be weighed to determine the mol of CuSO4 and the mol/L concentration. Then this was used to find out how many mL of 0.5 NaOH solution is needed to react completely with all the copper (II)

Preparation of Bromotriphenylmethane Abstract The structure of a major component of star anise oil was derived by analyzing its IR spectroscopy melting point of after oxidation and purification. From the evidence obtained‚ it was concluded that the exact structured should be p-methoxybenzoic acid. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the structure of the major component of star anise oil. It is already known that this component has a molecular formula C10H12O. This

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:
