113. The Organic Chemistry of the Transition Elements. Part I.
Tricarbonylchromium Derivatives of Aromatic Compounds.
By B. NICHOLLS M. C. WHITING. and
Many aromatic compounds, ArH, displace carbon monoxide from chromium hexacarbonyl with the formation of complexes Cr(CO),(ArH) (I). These are stable and may carry any of several functional groups. The effects of the metallic residue upon typical properties of these groups and of the aromatic system as a whole are outlined, and methods for the regeneration of the aromatic components are described.

TRICARBONYLBENZENECHROMIUM (I) was first obtained by Fischer and Ofele in 27% yield from chromium hexacarbonyl and dibenzenechromium in benzene in a sealed system at 220". We had independently discovered a simpler and more general method for preparing compounds of this type which involves heating chromium hexacarbonyl under reflux in an excess of the aromatic compound or with a molar quantity in an inert solvent.

Shortly after our preliminary communication,2 Natta and his co-workers also described the direct preparation of several of these compounds, but used a pressurised system (with intermittent release of carbon monoxide) and higher temperatures (200-235"). The work of Fischer and his school shows that equilibria are involved in these reactions-an excess of carbon monoxide converts the dibenzenechromium complex into the hexacarbonyl-and therefore it is advantageous in principle, as well as much easier in practice, to employ an open system, the free escape of carbon monoxide then driving the reaction to completion. In early experiments decalin was employed as solvent, but because the commercial product contains tetralin as an impurity, and perhaps because of hydrogen-transfer processes,

    Both reactants, the m-aminobenzoic acid and the 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, were mixed together and were dissolved using dimethylformamide. The resultant solution was heated, mixed with deionized H2O and vacuum filtrated in order to separate our formed product form the solvent. This technique was further repeated after our product was washed with heated ethanol. The final product was m-(2,4-dinitroanilino) benzoic acid. The reaction mechanism for the overall reaction in question is as follows:…

    1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane was produced by the bromination of trans-stilbene through the addition of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This experiment was a greener bromination of stilbene because bromine was generated in situ and ethanol was used as the solvent. The melting point (243.30°C), mass (.427g), and percent yield (45.54) of the crystals were recorded. The FTIR was used to confirm that the product was produced. The peaks on the HNMR revealed the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrogens and were used to verify the identity of the product. In addition, the melting point of the crystals was also used to verify the synthesis of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane.…

    The purpose of this lab was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone and bromobenzene by the formation of a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed to dry and the percent yield, melting point, and the IR was obtained. The mass of the product obtained was 5.45 grams and the percentage yield was determined to be 41.95%. The melting point range obtained from the final product was 89-91°C which was much lower than the literature value of 160-163°C. The peaks from the IR showed the formation of an alcohol group at 3460 wavenumbers and the presence of aromatic rings at 1600 and 1490 wavenumbers which confirms the successful formation of triphenylmethanol.…

    In this experiment, the production of a Grignard reagent (phenylmagnesium bromide) was performed from a bromobenzene reactant combined with magnesium and ether. Phenylmagnesium bromide was then transformed into a tertiary alcohol called triphenylmethanol, through addition of another compound called benzophenone, as well as additional ether. The end product of triphenylmethanol was analyzed via NMR and IR. Figure 1: Preparation of the Grignard agent by combining bromobenzene with magnesium and ether to produce phenylmagnesium bromide.

    The addition of HBr to 1-hexene created a 2-bromohexane, as indicated from the ethanol silver nitrate test and sodium iodide/acetone test. The observations when the product was subjected to these tests were similar to what were observed with the 2° bromide compound. When subjected to the silver nitrate test, the product produced a precipitate at the same rate of the 2° bromide compound, and the product produced a hue of yellow that was also similar to the 2° bromide compound. This observation matched the expectations that a 2-bromohexane would be the likely result of this experiment. However, some errors are inherent to this procedure. This can include some problems in the heat reflux step. Some reagents…

    In this lab we used the greener approach, which involves the addition of bromine across a double bond. When bromine reacts with E-stilbene (trans-1,2-diphenylethene), two new chiral carbons are created from the sp2 carbons, therefore 3 different dibrominated stereoisomers are possible: meso-(1R,2S), or the raceminc mixture-(1R,2R) or (1S,2S)-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane (Gilbert, 2010). When the bromination ion intermediate proceeds through a stereospecific mechanism, then the meso dibromide is formed exclusively. The racemic dibromides are formed from the concerted syn addition if the mechanism proceeds through a carbocation.…
