Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objectives: -To prepare methyl-3-nitrobenzoate from nitration of methyl benzoate by electropilic aromatic substitution. -To calculate the percentage yield and get the melting point of methyl-3-nitrobenzoate. Introduction: Benzene contains compounds have special properties that make them to react differently than other molecules. The conjugated compound of dienes in aromatic rings give an extra stability to undergo addition reactions

Abstract In the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-Ibuprofen‚ the compound is synthesized in nonracemic form directly from an achiral precursor. First‚ racemic ibuprofen was converted to aN achiral ketene via the acid chloride by adding thionyl chloride followed by triethylamine. Then‚ ketene was reacted with a chiral and nonracemic (S)-ethyl lactate produces a mixture of diasteromeric esters of ibuprofen derivatives where (S) configuration is predominantly. Finally‚ hydrolysis of the ester then provides

CONCEPTS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY • Inductive Effect : Inductive effect is defined as permanent displacement of shared electron pair in a carbon chain towards more electronegative atom or group. Types of Inductive effect : 1.Negative Inductive Effect : (—I effect‚ Electron withdrawing effect) when an electronegative atom or group (more electro negative than hydrogen)is attached to the terminal of the carbon chain in a compound‚ the electrons are displaced in the direction of the attached

Title: Experiment 28: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objective: The students will learn to nitrate methyl benzoate through electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. They will learn the importance of regiochemistry in chemical reactions. They might experience disubstitution through a high temperature. Reactions: Observation: The crystals started to form when added 2 g of crushed ice. The addition of hot methanol dissociated the crystals. The crystals reappeared when cooled down in

Synthesis of 1‚4-Di-t-buytl-2‚5-dimethoxybenzene via Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Introduction: Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene (and substituted benzenes) involves substituting a hydrogen atom on a benzene ring with an alkyl group. In the reaction a new alkyl group becomes bonded to a carbon atom of the aromatic ring which occurs by treatment of benzene (or substituted benzene) with a stable carbocation. The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize 1‚ 4-Di-t-butyl-2‚ 5 – dimethoxybenzene via the

which is a type of benzene reaction. This reaction consists usually of benzene and an electrophile. The role of the nucleophile is played by the double bond on the benzene ring. IT will react will the electrophile and this reaction will form a carbon cation intermediate. With additional reactions with a base‚ the electrophile fundamentally replaces the hydrogen of the benzene. Benzene is classified as one of the countless aromatic molecules‚ and this is just a plain benzene molecule. A different

If the substituents are electron withdrawing groups then it will be left with meta as the product but if the substituents are electron donating groups then the product will be ortho or para. It is much easier for a molecule such as a phenol to undergo nitration if compared to other molecules‚ where the hydroxyl group is an ortho-para director and an activator of the benzene ring. In

Are Aromatic Hydrocarbons Carcinogenic Aromatic hydrocarbons or arenes are hydrocarbons characterized by alternating double and single bonds between carbons. Benzene is the most common aromatic hydrocarbon‚ but there are some non-benzene based compounds called heteroarenes‚ where a carbon is replaced by an oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ or sulfur‚ that are also aromatic compounds. Aromatic hydrocarbons exist in our daily lives regardless if we recognize them or not. Aromatic hydrocarbons are ingested or

3 Questions I have: ● According to Asimov‚ when do people solve problems or make discoveries‚ and why? ● How does Asimov include the scientific information of Archimedes’ and Kekule’s discoveries necessary to help understand them better? ● What was Asimov’s idea behind “Eureka! Eureka!” and how did it fit into the purpose of the story? In the story The Eureka Phenomenon by Isaac Asimov‚ Asimov includes the scientific information of Archimedes’ and Kekule’s discoveries to help the audience und

of the bromination of acetanilide (assign regiochemistry of bromo product - ortho/meta/para‚ why selective?) The regiochemistry of the product was para. The substituent presented on the benzene ring had nitrogen right next to the carbon of the benzene. The lone pair of nitrogen could delocalize over the benzene ring and activate it. An activating group was ortho or para directing because the carbocation formed by this arrangement gave the most stabilized resonance structures. The majority was the
