Experiment 11: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone by the Aldol condensation Introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction‚ under basic conditions‚ involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion to another carbonyl group. The resulting product‚ a beta-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde‚ is called an aldol because it contains both and aldehyde group and the hydroxy group of alcohol. Condensations‚ including aldol condensation‚ combine two or more molecules‚ typically with a loss of a smaller molecule (including

Special Report Methyl ethyl ketone – A techno-commercial profile M ethyl ethyl ketone (MEK or 2-butanone) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH3. Its CAS number is 78-93-3. The colorless liquid ketone has a sharp‚ sweet odour of butterscotch and acetone. It is produced industrially on a large scale‚ and also occurs in trace amounts in nature. It is soluble in water and is commonly used as an industrial solvent. With natural and synthetic resins‚ MEK produces solutions with low viscosity

dilutions of 250 ppm‚ 200 ppm‚ 100 ppm‚ and 25 ppm of 12C solution was prepared from a caffeine stock solution using ethyl acetate as the solvent. 250 µL of each dilution was added to a respective 0.6 mL vials with 50 µL of 13C and mixed. Next‚ three 15 mL centrifuge tubes were labeled as “Unknown A‚” three were labeled as “Unknown B” and one was labeled “Control.” To each tube‚ 4 mL of ethyl acetate and 1 mL of the respective unknown or control (100 ppm 12C solution) was added to the respective flasks

Chirality of Ethyl-3-hydroxybutanoate Generated from a Biological Pathway Jake Zimny LaSalle University Philadelphia‚ PA 19141 Submitted February 10‚ 2006 Abstract: The reaction being studied is a reduction of a ketone into an alcohol with a chiral center. Because a biological agent‚ bakers ’ yeast‚ is being used to drive this reaction‚ the optical purity that results in the product is so stereo-selective that the major product‚ (+)‚ is formed for 89% of the product.

Objective: The benefit of this lab was to acquaint oneself with the fundamentals of the Aldol Condensation reaction by demonstrating the synthesis of dibenzalacetone (trans‚ trans-1‚5-Diphenyl-1‚4-pentadien-3-one) through the aldol condensation of acetone with benzaldehyde. The synthesis began by using a strong base to generate the acetone enolate ion. The ketone/enol tautomerization is an equilibrium process that produces little of the enol (ppm or less). However‚ any enol that formed quickly reacted

Ethyl Acetate – NaOH Reaction Kinetics Experiment Martin Novick Group 14‚ Chemical Engineering Laboratory Submitted to Prof. David B. Henthorn September 25‚ 2012 Summary The goal of this project was to determine the pre-exponential factor‚ k o ‚ the activation energy‚ E‚ and the reaction rate constants‚ k‚ of the saponification process of ethyl acetate using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 5 temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Two trails were performed at temperatures 16‚ 18‚ 20‚ 22‚ and 24

unconscious when the mind redirects a thought or word dangerous or unacceptable and substitutes it with a more affable thought or word. Condensation; where all the different elements‚ bits and pieces of thought and dreams combine into one to make sense. In this way they can stand for several different thoughts‚ feelings‚ wishes‚ ideas‚ etc. For Freud‚ condensation and displacement / substitution were used as a defense mechanism to contain aggressive and sexual impulses and hide the true unconscious
