Simple Condensation Reaction Report

The main objectives of the experiment were the following: to synthesize isoborneol, recrystallize the product, characterize it, and determine the yield of the product. To synthesize isoborneol, the reduction of camphor by reducing agent, sodium borohydride (NaBH4), was carried out (Figure 1). The utilized NaBH4 was determined to be active based on the bubbling observed in the reaction mixture. The bubbling is due to the evolution of hydrogen gas from the reaction of NaBH4 and methanol (Equation 1; Davis&Gotthbrath, 1962). NaBH4 + 4 CH3OH→ NaB(OCH3)4 + 4H2

The reaction to synthesize benzocaine was known as a Fisher esterification reaction. The Fisher esterification was reaction between alcohol and carboxylic acid in the presence of acid. The reaction was used to form an ester. In the experiment, sulfuric acid acted as a catalyst and necessary for this reaction to occur. There was a change between the –OH group of carboxylic acid to an –OCH2CH3 group in the reaction.

The experimental yield for this experiment was 0.704g, and the calculated moles for the product is 0.00541 moles. Furthermore, the limiting reagent was calculated to be acetic acid because the moles calculated for acetic acid is 0.0622 moles and 0.0833 moles for isopentyl alcohol. The percent yield was then calculated to be 8.7 percent because the theoretical yield was calculated to be 8.098g. The appearance of the crude organic ester product was a liquid that looked yellowish. Additionally, the experimental refractive index came to be 1.3978, and the corrected temperature was calculated to be 1.3992.

The purpose of this experiment is to perform a two step reductive amination using o-vanillin with p-toluidine to synthesize an imine derivative. In this experiment, 0.386 g of o-vanillin and 0.276 g of p-toluidine were mixed into an Erlenmeyer flask. The o-vanillin turned from a green powder to orange layer as it mixed with p-toludine, which was originally a white solid. Ethanol was added as a solvent for this reaction. Sodium borohydride was added in slow portion as the reducing agent, dissolving the precipitate into a yellowish lime solution.

Objective: The purpose of this lab is to show the relationship between chemical decomposition and exothermic reactions, as well as applying the scientific method. This is shown through the construction and launching of popper rockets. Introduction: Crucial things to know are exothermic reactions, Scientific method and chemical decomposition. The scientific method is a series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem.

Section 1: Introduction and Guiding Question Atoms are tiny particles that compose to make up matter. The atoms combine to create bonds. The bonds are substances that can go through physical and chemical changes. Chemical reactions can happen when two substances combine. Different mixtures of substances create different types of reactions.

The objective of this experiment was to use an aldol condensation reaction to synthesize 3-nitrochalcone from 3- nitrobenzaldehyde. This was accomplished with a Diels-Alder reaction that utilized 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, acetophenone, ethanol, and sodium hydroxide. The mechanism for the synthesis of 3-nitrochalcone is presented in Figures 1 and 2. The alpha carbon on the acetophenone is deprotonated. This is followed by the attack of the alpha carbon anion on the carbonyl carbon on the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde.

The possible explanations and changes to make are similar to the previous questions. Conclusion and Future Experiment 18. The identity of the product and unknown were 4-tert-butylbenzyl phenol ether and tert-butyl phenol respectively. The key to making this discovery was the melting point and TLC results!

in the first step benzoic acid was reacted with excess of thionyl chloride using acetonitrile as a solvent and keeping the mixture on an ice bath for 3-4 hours (labeled as reaction mixture a) In the second step gemcitabine hydrochloride along with 3eq tri-ethyl amine and using ethanol again as a solvent was stirred for 15-20 minutes without ice-bath. next with a poisterizing tube the reaction mixture a was drop wise added to reaction mixture b yielding a third and final, reaction mixture c giving off white fumes of socl2. it is stirred for 19 hours and 15minutes at 80c and colour changes to light yellow The preparation of benzoyl chloride from benzoic acid using thionyl chloride at 0’c is an in-situ preparation procedure: FILTERATION:

This was proved by utilizing the IR spectrum to verify the C =O was not in the final product as it lacked the 1640 cm-1 peak. The melting point of 113-115 degrees C proved that the final product obtained was the E-Stilbene. The TLC plate proved that the E and the Z product was produced, show cased by the double intensity of the DCM spot to the final product’s spot, both which had an Rf of 0.92. The double intensity proved that both products were produced, but through heating and filtering, the Z-Stilbene was

The oil sample was mixed with neutralized alcohol. Heat the mixture of oil and alcohol on hotplate until it almost boiling. Added few drops of phenolphthalein to the mixture and titrate with 0.1M NaOH solution. Swirl the flask to thoroughly mix the contents. The pink color was appeared which is end point of reaction.

Experimental Methods: 1. SYNTHESIS OF 4-BENZOYL BUTYRIC ACID METHYL ESTER Materials required * 5 oxopentanoic acid : 2 gm (Aldrich) * Methanol : 50 ml * Acetic Acid (Rankem) Procedure: * 2 grams of 5 oxopentanoic acid was weighed and placed in a round bottom flask and then to it 50 ml of methanol was added. It was placed on a hot plate and the temperature was increased to 50 degrees under ambient air conditions.

A sample of fish oil (50 mg) was transferred into screw-cap vial. 2 ml benzene and 10 ml sulfuric acid (1%) in absolute methanol were added. The vial was covered under a stream of nitrogen before heating in an oven 90 °C for 90 minutes. Ten ml of distilled water were added to the cooled vial and the methyl esters in each vial were extracted with 5 ml of petroleum ether for three times. The three petroleum ether extracts were combined and concentrate to its minimum volume by using a stream of nitrogen.

Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
