TWO-BASE EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different pKa

Acid-Base Extraction: Separation of an Organic Acid‚ Base and a Neural Compound Introduction/Background Acid base extraction is a widely used commercial method in separating acids‚ bases and neutral compounds. This is concept is based on several physical properties of the compounds‚ such as boiling point‚ melting points and solubility. The different solubility properties of the protonated and non-protonated forms of these compounds depend on the functional groups present‚ such

Preparation Of Triphenylmethanol Objectives 1. To study the preparation of triphenylmethanol using through Gridnard reaction 2. To study the operations of anhydrous reaction‚ water vapor distillation. Principles Alcohol is widely used in organic chemistry‚ not only as solute but also as intermediate to synthesize halide‚ alkene‚ ether‚ aldehyde and ketone etc. In laboratory‚ an important method of synthesizing alcohol is though the addition reaction of Gridnard reagent and carbonyl compound‚ whereas

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone and bromobenzene by the formation of a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed

Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Dominic DiRaimo Lab Partners: Roxana Hernandez Somata Thach TA: Sreya Mukherjee December 5‚ 2013 Introduction Grignard reagents are good nucleophiles as well as strong bases (Weldegirma). It allows compounds to react with acidic compounds‚ therefor is must be free from acids as well as water during the desired reaction. Another important aspect of Grignard reagent is that refluxing is necessary to

RECRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINT DETERMINATION OF BENZOIC ACID ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. How does the use of fluted filter paper hasten filtration? Why is it advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases

Megan Wierzbowski Organic II Laboratory Wed. 11-1:50 Title: Grignard Reaction with a Ketone: Triphenylmethanol Part 1 Objective: The goal of this experiment is to learn to make Grignard reagents. The reactions of the Grignard reagents with ketones form tertiary alcohols. These reagents are highly air- and moisture-sensitive materials. We will observe the formation of the Grignard reagents‚ which magnesium metal is transformed into organometallic salts. Experimental Procedure:
