Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus‚ the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals

According to Figure 4 and 5‚ the moles of Cu initially obtained and at completion‚ differentiated. It was evident that the initial moles of Cu (0.0254)‚ did not regenerate all the amount‚ as 0.0124 moles of Cu was attained. In regards to this‚ the no. moles that was eliminated was approximately‚ 0.013. Respectively‚ in Figure 3‚ a large deviation amongst the initial and final quantity of copper‚ this implies that the rest of the mass that had diminished‚ was greater than the final product. These

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

Aspirin Synthesis Introduction Out of all the pharmaceutical drugs in the worlds‚ aspirin is made the most. Any potential pharmacist must be familiar with synthesizing the drug. The goal of this lab is to synthesize as much pure aspirin as possible. The reactants‚ acetyl anhydride and salicylic acid‚ must react in phosphoric acid. With phosphoric acid as a catalyst‚ the reaction yields aspirin and acetic acid. The equation for the reaction is as follows: “(CH3CO)2O + HOC6H4COOH □(→┴yields ) CH3CO2C6H4CO2H

a solution α-naphthol 1a‚ 4-methylbenzaldehyde 2a and tert-butyl isocyanide 3a in EtOH was magnetically stirred at 45 C for 12 hours under an oxygen atmosphere with an equimolar ratio of the three reactants. TLC monitoring of the reaction mixture exhibited formation of a new product‚ which was purified (Table 1‚ entry 1). Identification of its structure by NMR spectroscopy revealed that it was 2-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1-naphthyl N-(tert-butyl)carbamate (4a). Next‚ in order to improve the yield of 4a‚

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

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of water molecules of crystallization of a sample of hydrated Barium Chloride. This can be calculated using Gravimetric Analysis and to indirectly determine the percent composition of a hydrate by taking advantage of its chemical properties. Introduction: Gravimetric procedures are analytical methods in which the results are determined from the masses of starting materials and products. These methods

Introduction: Copper (II) Chloride is the compound with a chemical formula of CuCl2. This is a light brown solid‚ which slowly absorbs moisture to form a blue green dihydrate. Copper (II) Chloride is highly soluble in water and will produce a blue solution. solutioAluminum is the compound that has a chemical formula of Al. This is a silver solid that can be easily formed‚ machined‚ or cast. In this lab‚ we will be finding the limiting reactant between Copper(II) Chloride and Aluminum. The limiting
