The condensation product between the aromatic aldehydes and the aromatic ketones are 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ones, which are commonly known as chalcones. If any other types of aldehydes and ketones are used, the product is frequently known as α,β-unsaturated ketones. Chalcones and α,β-unsaturated ketones have been captivating, the medicinal,[1] synthetic,[2] and applied chemists[3] by virtue of their structural units (Figure 1) which have been gained many access to tailor the molecule suitably for wide range of applications in medicinal,[1] synthetic,[2] and applied chemistry.[3] The fluorine has the special topic of interest among the chemists as its introduction into the organic molecules leads to a dramatic changes in their physical and chemical properties.[4] The recent activities show a remarkable growth in fluorine chemistry as the chemists practiced to do polishing the organic molecules with fluorine to improve their properties, leading to widespread applications in medicinal,[4b,c,5] agrochemicals,[6] …show more content…
But, only handful of examples were available for the Pd-mediated [18F] labeling of organic molecules in which [18F] labeled aryl halides were the actual coupling partner to variety of nucleophiles.[8b] Moreover, the only Pd-catalyzed direct [18F]F-fluorination of aryl triflates was reported by J. Cardinale et al.[11] To date, no Pd-catalyzed C‒O cross-coupling methodology has been developed for [18F] fluoroalkoxylation of aryl halides in the [18F] radiotracer synthesis. The reason might be just attributed to, the chemists considering the relatively weak nucleophilic nature of simple alkyl alcohols (oxygen nucleophiles) which further ease off if it contains fluorine atom(s), and then this would not participate well with a greater rate in Pd-catalyzed C‒O coupling
Cadet Eric Wiggins Date: 18 September 2014 Course Name: Chem 100 Instructor: Captain Zuniga Section: M3A Identification of a Copper Mineral Intro Minerals are elements or compounds that are created in the Earth by geological processes. The method of isolating metals in a compound mineral is normally conducted through two processes.
The goal of this experiment was to isolate three different molecules (acidic, basic, and neutral) from a mixture and identify their molecular structure. This was accomplished by using acid/base liquid extraction and H NMR analysis. The neutral component of the unknown mixture #191 was fluorenone. This was evident due to an H NMR spectra that had a high presence of hydrogen signals in the 7.2- 7.7 ppm range. Chemical shift values for fluorenone stated in the lab manual were 7.27, 7.47, 7.48, and 7.6 (CITE), indicating that the corresponding H NMR spectra for the neutral unknown is of this chemical.
Bromination of (E)-Stilbene Kaisha Butz Lab Partner: Jenna Knafo Instructor: Dr. Beatrix Aukszi LA: Paige Swalley 10/28/2014 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the second intermediate (meso-stilbene dibromide) in the E-Stilbene reaction by Bromination. It was hypothesized that if the reaction was heated at 120°C for five minutes the reaction between E-stilbene and the pyridium bromide perbromide would occur, and meso-stilbene would be created. After the reaction occurred the results were analyzed by IR and by an ignition test.
The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
Beanium Isotope Lab Introduction: Isotopes are explained as the variations of the number of neutrons that an element may have. Some isotopes are more common than others. This experiment was performed to help visualize the different isotopes of an element and show how some isotopes will appear more often than others. Purpose: To visualize and understand isotopes Materials: Refer to Lab Sheet “Isotope Experiment- Beanium”
Intro: Chemical reactions are the foundation for all organisms to exist. Paragraph 1: Endergonic Anabolic Reactions Building Consumes energy to build complicated molecules from simpler ones Uphill Photosynthesis Uses water and carbon dioxide to create sugar and oxygen Protein synthesis from amino acids Dehydration reaction Monomers are covalently bonded to each other through the loss of water Bonds are created which means energy is used Endergonic Exergonic Breaking Release energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler molecules
The main objective of this experiment was to isolate the compounds in a given mixture, which was composed of 50% fluorene, 42% o-toluic acid, and 10% 1, 4-dibrombenzene. Techniques of extraction and crystallization was used to perform the procedure. The two major compounds in the mixture (fluorene and o-toluic acid) was collected; these were separated by two major methods. The o-toluic acid was extracted first by using macroscale extraction and testing for acidity. By adding a strong acid to the aqueous layer, which contained o-toluic acid, the solution becomes acidic and also allows the solid in the layer to precipitate.
The product obtained was (2S, 3R)-2, 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid and (2R, 3S)-2, 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid, which are enantiomers. This was determined through melting point analysis. The melting point range for the product was 198 to 202 degrees Celsius, which is a lot close to the given melting point of the anti-addition product, 202-204 degrees Celsius. The given melting point range was 93.5-95 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the syn-addition product is unlikely and difficult to produce due to stereochemistry selectivity.
Elijah Brycth B. Jarlos IX-Argon 1. Multicellularity is a condition of an organism to have multicellular cells. An example of a organism who has multicellular cells are plants, animals, and humans. The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.
Teflon was discovered by Dupont chemist. When Dr Roy J. Plunkett use polytetrafluoroethylene to make an experiment with chemical refrigerants, he tries to pump the gas tetrafluoroethylene into hydrochloric acid and he does not see anything happen in the outside. When he hold the cylinder that contain tetrafluoroethylene, he sees the cylinder still heavy. After that, he thinks it is a good idea to cut the cylinder to see what happen in the inside . When he cut it out, he sees the tetrafluoroethylene have polymerized and it as a waxy powder.
Nevertheless, the latter is not used in this experiment since it is very reactive and extremely flammable. On the contrary, NaBH4 is relatively mild and it can be used with protic solvents. In this manner, 1.507 grs of the ketone 9-fluorenone were mixed with 30.0 ml of 95% ethanol in a 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The bright yellow mixture was stirred during 7 minutes until all the components were dissolved.
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CROSS COUPLING REACTION IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS The formation of new carbon-carbon bonds is of central importance in organic chemistry and a prerequisite for all life on earth. Through the assembly of carbon atoms into chains, complex molecules, e.g. molecules of life, can be created. The importance of the synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds is reflected by the fact that Nobel Prizes in Chemistry have been given to this area many times: the Grignard reaction (1912), the Diels-Alder reaction (1950), the Wittig reaction (1979), and olefin metathesis to Y. Chauvin, R. H. Grubbs, and R. R. Schrock (2005) and Richard F. Heck , Ei-ichi Negishi, Akira Suzuki (2010) for the development of methods for palladium-catalyzed formation of carbon-carbon

Bromination is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction where one hydrogen atom of benzene or benzene derivative is replaced by bromine due to an electrophilic attack on the benzene ring. The purpose of this experiment is to undergo bromination reaction of acetanilide and aniline to form 4-bromoacetanilide and 2,4,6-tribromoaniline respectively. Since -NHCOCH3 of acetanilide and -NH2 of aniline are electron donating groups, they are ortho/para directors due to resonance stabilized structure. Even though the electron donating groups activate the benzene ring, their reactivities are different and result in the formation of different products during bromination.
Paragraph 1 The research paper talks about how the temperature of formation and crystallinity of iron phosphate, FePO4, is critical in determining its electrochemical behaviour. FePO4 is known to crystalline in several different structures. At 600 degrees, FePO4 irreversibly changes into an electrochemically inactive quartz-like structure, which shows that the olivine form is metastable. FePO4 at a high temperature is limited to measurements of call parameters. In the case of α-phase FePO4, cell parameters tend to increase exponentially as temperature increase.
