Extract Trimyristin From Nutmeg

Abstract: In this experiment, triphenylmethanol was synthesized in two steps. First, the bromobenzene was reacted with dry magnesium turnings to produce Grignard reagent. Second, the Grignard reagent was reacted with methyl benzoate and concentrated sulfuric acid to produce an alcohol. The end result of the experiment was not very successful because only 17% yield of final product triphenylmethanol was recovered, and the final product was impure based on the melting point and the IR spectrum results.

Feras Kaid Chem 2415-43 TA: Rio Assessment 1 Conclusion In this lab, there were 4 different distillations that were performed each with the same end goal to separate the two different organic compounds, cyclohexane and toluene. We used the boiling points of the two compounds to separate them using the following 4 techniques: microscale simple distillation, miniscale simple distillation, miniscale fractional packed distillation, and miniscale fractional unpacked distillation. The three different miniscale distillations were used to predict the accuracy of the distillation by comparing them to one other. The most accurate of the three distillations is the miniscale fractional packed distillation because this type uses a Vigreux column instead

Since water and magnesium bromide chloride was structured as side products after the adduct was hydrolyzed, the product was isolated using two separate extractions: an ether extraction and an aqueous extraction through a separatory funnel. The product was then purified using petroleum ether and recrystallized using boiling isopropyl

In this lab, three unknown compounds were separated from a mixture and identified by melting point. Unknown mixture #124 has components of acid, base and neutral compound. The compounds were identified by melting point and matched up with the known melting points from a given list. In order to identify the compound it was important to separate by dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent which was not soluble in water, and then extracting the solution first with HCl, and then dilute sodium hydroxide solution. From the separation mixture, the aqueous layer were obtained and labeled as TT-1 (base), TT-2(acid) and TT-3 (neutral) in three different test tubes for later recovery.

Hence in the sample only copper (II) chloride will dissolve leaving the sodium chloride behind once filtered through. The copper (II) chloride can then be obtained by evaporating the methanol; which has a boiling point of 65 degrees celsius whilst copper (II) chloride has a boiling point of 993 degrees celsius, thus allowing the methanol to be easily evaporated out of the solution eliminating concerns of the copper (II) chloride evaporating alongside the methanol. Purpose To investigate different methods of separating copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride in order to obtain the original masses of both substances.

The purpose of this experiment was to identify the two components of an unknown mixture through diverse experimental techniques such as recrystallization, extraction, melting point, and acid-base reactions. From this, the group to which these two compounds belong to had to be determined. These groups are: Carboxylic Acids, phenols, and neutrals. By determining the melting points of the two unknown compounds, these values were compared to the values of melting points in the chart and the proper compound was selected. For the case of this experiment, the unknown mixture contained, 4-methylbenzoic acid.

The purpose of this experiment was to prepare an unknown Grignard reagent and then identify the product by molecular weight and melting point. An IR reading was taken to further identify and validate what product was formed. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Organometallic compounds consist of a carbon that is attached to a metal. The carbon atoms are strongly nucleophilic because of a partial negative charge that they carry.

The mixture was then distilled. When the temperature was reached to about 59℃, half vial of distillate (1V) and 1 mL of the liquid residue (1L) were collected. For 61.0℃, the distillation was then continued. Samples (2V, 2L) were taken at about 61.0℃.

Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Using the Grignard Reaction and Acid Workup Amanda Sokol Partner: Jack Platacz TA: Edgar Reyes Cruz Lab: Tuesday, 1:40 - 4:30 PM PSH 334 March 17, 2023 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize pure triphenylmethanol by preparing and performing the Grignard reaction followed by an acid workup step. The two-week process combined various techniques used in lab this semester thus far with some new techniques; the first week involved making the Grignard reagent and its reaction with Benzophenone, while the second week consisted of hydrolysis as well as extraction and purification of the product through recrystallization. The solid product was also characterized through melting point and infrared spectroscopy.

The substitution reaction was successful but not fully effective. 19. If the data was inconclusive, then comparing various compounds and the unknown based on physical characteristics would be the first step, titrations would also be a good method. 20. To get a better yield, redoing the experiment would require careful attention in the recrystallization steps: amount of solvent used, how hot solvent is, if the mixture cools to room temperature before placing it in an ice

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize the component of strawberry fragrance – methyl trans-cinnamate. This reaction is accomplished by a Fischer esterification of methanol and trans-cinnamic acid refluxed for 1 hour

Task 1 M1 Describe the scientific principles behind each of the three procedure above. Vacuum filtration is a procedure when a sold needs separating from a solvent to react the mixture. Then the mixture of a solid is measured through the filtration paper in a Buhner funnel. The liquid is drained through the funnel into the flask.

The percent yield was calculated to be 88.1%. Some amount of the product was lost when transferring the product from the Buchner funnel to the balance to measure its mass. To ensure the formation of the desired product, melting point of the product was measured to be 119.8-121.90c, which is in the range of the normal melting point of 2,4,6-tribromoanilne, 120-1220c. Thus, the product was indeed

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to purify acetanilide that was contaminated with relatively small amounts of impurities using recrystallization. The success of recrystallization was dependent on a suitable solvent being chosen and proper recrystallization technique being carried out. The solvent chosen had to have a different polarity than that of the molecule of interest. The technique used was dependent on the solubility of the solvent at higher temperature and the solubility of the impurities at all temperatures.

If impure, preform recrystallization procedure to remove the impurities. Then calculate Percent Recovered on crystals formed, and preform melting point procedure. 2. You find that a solid substance you are trying to purify is very soluble in ethanol, but not very soluble in water. You decide that you are going to try to recrystallize it from a solvent pair, consisting of ethanol and water.
