A. Goal and Purpose:
Session 1: In this lab, we will achieve a simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anthracene. The choice of anthracene as an aromatic substrate stems from two considerations. First, there is a question of regioselectivity. Second, anthracene and its derivatives are highly visible under UV light.

Session 2: In this lab, we will complete a partial conversion of 9-acetylanthracene using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). We will also determine by NMR, the regiochemistry of the reaction.

    The identification of the melting point of the organic acid was done to find another characteristic of the acid and to test the purity of the recrystallized pure acid. A 2-4 mm layer of unknown sample was placed into a capillary tube sealed on one end. Then the capillary tube was inserted into the side a Bibby Sterlin device. The plateau was set to 200°C on the melting point apparatus. Once the plateau temperature was reached, the sample was watched carefully. When the sample first began to melt and when it was fully melted was recorded. These numbers were the range of the melting point. A slow melting point of the unknown organic acid and a standard sample was completed next. A new plateau was set about 10°C lower than the observed melting point of the unknown sample. This time once the plateau was reached, the heating was no more than 1°C per minute. This gave a much more accurate read of both melting points. If the standard did not melt in the range listed on the label of the bottle, that meant the machine was not working properly. The standard sample and the unknown organic acid melted in their appropriate ranges.…

    Chemistry 116 lab review

    The first step is to calibrate the colorimeter with0.20 M Fe(NO3)3and set the absorbance at 470 nm since it is known to keep an acidic solution throughout the entirety of the experiment. It was important to do this right at the beginning of the lab since the zeroed value of the acid was the calibration number for all of the other solutions. A total of seven solutions with different dilutions were used throughout the lab to conduct the equilibrium constant. The first step was adding 5 mL of 0.200 M Fe(NO3)3to each of the 5 test tubes. Once this was done, 0.00200 M NCS was added to the test tubes, each receiving a different amount; test tube one received 1 mL NCS-and with each test tube the amount of NCS-would increase by 1 mL, test tube 5 received 5 mL of NCS. . The next step was adding HNO3 to each test tube in different volumes; Test tube one received 10 mL of HNO3 and with each test tube the amount of HNO3 decreased by 1 mL, test tube five had no HNO3 added to it. The addition of these solutions formed five test tubes of different dilutions, but of equal volume, 10 mL each. After all of the previous trials had been completed the final step was to take each test tube and pour it into a different cuvette and measure the absorbance for each. Once the initial concentration was calculated of Fe3+, NCS and FeNCS2+ in molarity. The absorbency values were recorded and used to calculate the formation constant, K f The reference table containing volumes used in each solution is provided below…

    The purpose of this experiment was to determine the differential rate law for a chemical reaction based on the relationship between the concentration of reactants and the rate of reaction. Since spectrophotometers, like Spec-20s, provide information about concentration, these instruments were used to monitor the increase or decrease in concentration of a reactant in a solution over time. By plotting [phph2-] versus time and changing the concentration of OH- used, the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant and the overall order of the reaction can be determined.…

    The formation reactions of carbon-carbon bonds are important in organic synthesis [1-5]. In general, acylation reaction is one of the important carbon-carbon forming reactions. It belongs to the reactions of the enolate derived from a carbonyl group with an electrophilic carbon such as Aldol, Claisen, Michael reaction and alkylation of metal enolates [6-9].The acylation reaction as well as above other reactions of enolates has serious limitations to be overcome. In these reactions, a strong base NaOH is needed to transform the carbonyl compounds into their anion forms. Generally, the carbonyl compounds such as ketone and aldehyde have high pKa values (pKa ~ 20) [1]. It is difficult to make their − anion forms of carbonyl compounds by removing the hydrogens on the α-carbons because of their weakly acidic characteristics. Therefore, the product yields of acylation, alkylation, and an aldol condensation are low and unwanted side reactions occur (Figure 1). In order to avoid side reactions, a good nucleophile needs to be produced…
