6-Dichloroindophenol Synthesis Lab Report
An organic dye, 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP), is employed to titrate with the vitamin C in the extracted sample solution. The extracting solution is a mixture of metaphosphoic acid with acetic acid. This solution can stabilize the extracted vitamin C by preventing its oxidation. The DCIP will serve as the indicator as excess DCIP will turn the solution pink after passing through the end point.

    Chemists often find a method to determine the level of “greenness” of a chemical reaction, or its “atom economy”. A higher atom economy is preferable because a greater amount of the reactants will be present in the product as opposed to the byproduct.1 A Suzuki reaction is classified as an organic, coupling reaction that includes boronic acid and a halide that are catalyzed by a palladium complex under basic conditions. Other palladium- catalyzed coupling mechanisms include the Heck and Stille reactions. Palladium typically exists in the oxidation states of 0, +2, and +4. PdCl2 is usually the starting compound for several other heterogeneous palladium catalysts such as Pd/C and Pd/BaSO4.1 Suzuki coupling is an efficient way to…

    In this experiment, we use titration method (volumetric analysis) to determine the centration of vitamin C in packaged fruit juice samples such as the mango, apple, passion fruit and orange juices in this experiment. Titration is a commonly used method of quantitative analysis which can determine the concentration of a known analyte (reactant). In this case the reactant is vitamin C. A titrant (reagent - Dichlorophenol-indophenol) of known concentration…

    When learning about reduction reactions, we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride, and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion, hence it will be a powerful base and also take the role of being the nucleophile. For the experiment sodium borohydride was used since its properties make it easier to be handled. In this experiment both the trans and the cis isomers of the 2-methylcyclohexanone were to be formed. This is due to the chiralty of the compound itself. The product will either be thermodynamically controlled or controlled by the kinetics itself. IR spectroscopy can then be…

    The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound, which we will be doing in this particular experiment.…

    In this experiment, when vinyl strip and acetate strip is rubbed by tissue, it will charge the vinyl strip negatively and acetate strip positively caused by the transfer of electron between the strip and tissue. If molecules have non zero bond dipole, because polar molecule must have a non-zero molecular dipole where electron spend more of their time closer to one atomic nucleus than the other and make one end partially positive or negative than the other end. Different charge will attract the opposite charge which will bend the stream of liquid if it’s polar which cause the bend of the stream. Therefore proofing the shape of molecule of the liquid is not symmetric and it’s a polar molecule because of their attraction or repulsion.…

    The properties of dibenzalacetone make it a great substance to be used when protecting the skin from the sun. In the experiment performed, dibenzalacetone was created from an aldol condensation of 2 portions of benzaldehyde and acetone in sodium hydroxide. The reaction that occurred in this experiment is known as a specific aldol condensation called Claisen-Schmidt. In the reaction, the carbonyl of benzaldehyde reacts quickly with the acetone anion to create a hydroxyketone that dehydrates in the presence of a base to give the desired product.…

    Methacryloyl chloride was prepared according to the process reported in the literature [94]. A mixture of methacrylic acid (0.1 mole), benzoyl chloride (0.2 mole) and hydroquinone (0.00025 mole) was distilled at a fairly high rate through an efficient column. The pure methacryloyl chloride was distilled out at 90-95ºC.…

    The goal of this experiment was to synthesize aspirin. In this experiment aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, was synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In the reaction the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacted with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. This method of forming acetylsalicylic acid is an esterification reaction. Since this esterification reaction is not spontaneous, sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst to initiate the reaction. After the reaction was complete some unreacted acetic anhydride and salicylic acid was still be present in the solution as well as some sulfuric acid, aspirin, and acetic acid. Crystallization, which uses the principle of solubility, was then used to remove most of the impurities and caused the acetylsalicylic acid to precipitate out of the solution. Next, the crude product was then purified by adding water which further lowered the solubility of acetylsalicylic acid and dissolved some impurities from the crystal of aspirin. The aspirin was then isolated from the solution using a vacuum filtration apparatus. The percent yield of crude aspirin product was 91.89%. To purify the crude aspirin product a recrystallization procedure was performed. The percent yield of the purified aspirin product was 5.77%. Next a phenol test was performed on the crude aspirin product, the purified aspirin product, and salicylic acid as a control. The phenol test was to test the purity of the aspirin product that was created during the experiment. The crude aspirin product and the purified aspirin product had no color changes and remained orange when mixed with the iron (III) chloride solution, which means that there were no phenol groups in both the crude aspirin product and the purified aspirin product. The lack of reaction with the iron (III) chloride revealed that both the crude aspirin product and the purified aspirin product were pure aspirin. The salicylic acid turned…

    Al-Khateeb et al. [59] investigated about the removal of aspirin (ASA), acetaminophen (APAP), and caffeine (CAF), from aqueous solution by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Characterization of the GNPs showed a transparent, layered structure with a smooth surface and many wrinkles, as well as a specific surface area of 635.2 m2 /g. The effects of adsorption time, GNPs mass, solution pH, ionic strength, and temperature were studied and optimized. The effect of temperature on the adsorption kinetics was investigated using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order kinetic models, and the experimental data were fitted well to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Also, the adsorption mechanism was explored using intra-particle diffusion and liquid…

    Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath, the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes, to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing. The purpose of this procedure is to isolate acetylsalicylic acid from its accompanied acid catalyst, unreacted salicylic acid, acetic anhydride, and other impurities. Their removal can be done by crystallization, a purification technique in which, upon cooling, product crystals will be separated from impurities that are present in the solution, which can then be filtered off using a vacuum. In this procedure, acetic anhydride is used to wash the reactants, and phosphoric acid is used as a catalyst to…
