About 1.55-g of benzil, 1.51-g of dibenzylketone and 12-mL of ethanol were placed in a 50-mL round bottom flask. A magnetic stir bar was also placed in the flask. A condenser was attached to the round bottom flask while the flask was placed in a 70oC hot water bath. The mixture was heated until all solids were dissolved. The temperature of the water bath was then heated to 80oC. A pasture pipet was used to add 2.25-mL of ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution downward through the condenser and into the flask.…

Because of the lack of sporicidal activity, alcohols are not recommended for sterilization but are widely used for both hard surface disinfection an skin antisepsis (McDonald 151). Generally, the antimicrobial activity of alcohols is significantly lower at concentrations below 50% and is optimal in the 60% to 90% range (McDonald 151). Contrastingly the antimicrobial action of iodine is rapid, even at low concentrations, but the exact mode of action is unknown. Iodine rapidly penetrates into microorganisms and attacks key groups or proteins, nucleotides and fatty acids, which culminates in cell death (McDonald 155). Meanwhile Hydrogen Peroxide demonstrates broad-spectrum efficacy against viruses, bacteria,yeasts, and bacterial spores which is seen mainly in gram-positive than gram-negative bacteria such as S. marcescens (McDonald…

In order to study the influence of reaction time, acetophenone with complex 2 (0.1 mol%) under standard conditions was monitored by GC-MS analysis taking 0.1 mL aliquots of the reaction mixture at intervals of 1 h. As can be observed in the conversion vs time plots, the formation of 1-phenylethanol was increased with the progress of the reaction, reached a maximum and then remained unchanged (Fig. 4). Reasonably good conversion (97.4%) for the formation of 1-phenylethanol was observed at the optimum reaction time of 5 h. There is no noticeable improvement was observed even after extending the reaction time. These result implies that the conversion of product strongly dependent of reaction time. With the promising results in hand, we next examine the catalytic efficiency of complex 2 for a wide range of aromatic, heterocyclic, cyclic and aliphatic ketones. To compare the results, all the reactions were carried out under identical conditions. The alcoholic products were analysed by GC-MS and 1H-NMR (entries 2, 15 and 16) after doing the required workup (Figs. S5-S20, see supplementary information). The complex catalysed TH of ketones to their corresponding alcohols with good to excellent conversions in all the cases. The existence of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituent on the aromatic ring shows significant effect in the rate of the reaction (Table 6, entries…

Codeine: Codeine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is rapidly distributed from the intravascular spaces to the various body tissues, with preferential uptake by parenchymatous organs such as the liver, spleen and kidney. Codeine crosses the blood-brain barrier, and is found in fetal tissue and breast milk. The plasma concentration does not correlate with brain concentration or relief of pain; however, codeine is not bound to plasma proteins and does not accumulate in body tissues.…

In this experiment, we used methyl benzoate from the last experiment with HNO3 and H2SO4 to synthesize methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. First we added methyl benzoate to 12 mL cooled conc. Sulfuric acid in a flask. In a separate flask, we made a solution of 4 mL conc. Sulfuric acid and 4 mL nitric acid and then added dropwise to the solution of methyl benzoate in an ice bath on a stir plate while maintaining the temperature of reaction between 5-15 °C. After the addition was complete we took the flask out of the ice bath and placed it back on the stir plate for about 20 minutes to complete the reaction. Then we poured the mixture in the beaker filled with ice and white solid started to precipitate out. After all the ice melted we used suction filtration…
