Aldol In this preparative lab‚ an aldol (trans-p-anisalacetophenone) was produced from the reaction between p-anisaldehyde and acetophenone with the presence sodium hydroxide. The reaction also showed the importance of an enolate and the role it played in the mechanism. Sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst in this experiment and is chosen because of its basic conditions and pH. The acetophenone carries an alpha hydrogen that has a pKa between 18 and 20. This alpha hydrogen is acidic because of its

Aldol Condensation Wei-Hsuan Tsui 4/16/14 The reaction of an aldehyde with a ketone employing sodium hydroxide as the base is an example of a mixed aldol condensation reaction‚ the Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Dibenzalacetone is readily prepared by condensation of acetone with two equivalents of benzaldehyde -26 -95 113.9 1. Weigh 0.212 g of pure benzaldehyde directly into a 10 x 100 mm reaction tube. 2.

Report Aldol Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to be able to conduct an aldol condensation reaction using an unknown aldehyde and an unknown ketone. H NMR is used to identify the unknown aldehyde and ketone. Melting point is used to identify the aldol condensation reaction. Theory: Condensation reaction is also known as a dehydration reaction. In the mechanism of condensation reaction‚ a bond is formed between two molecules and creates water as a byproduct. Aldol condensation

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCTION 236250 TONNES PER YEAR OF ACETONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Acetone is a clear‚ colorless‚ volatile liquid with sweer odor. It is both the simples aliphatic ketone and the most commercially important. It has a distinctive fruity or mint-like odor and a pungent taste. It is also found naturally in plants‚ tress‚ volcanic gases‚ and forest fires and as a by product of the breakdown of body fat. Nearly all world production of acetone is via cumene peroxidation‚ as a coproduct with phenol

Thiamine-Catalyzed Benzoin Condensation I.Conclusion Benzoin was produced by reacting 2 mols of benzaldehyde with the catalyst thiamine to form a new C-C bond. A total of 2.626 grams were recovered. There was a 33% recovery of benzoin. The low percent recovery could be due to the purity of the limiting reactant‚ benzaldehyde. Upon filtration‚ the mother liquid appeared oily making it more likely that the low recovery was due to the solution ‘oiling out.’ This could be avoided in the future

The goal of this experiment was to synthesize dibenzalacetone by aldol synthesis. The name ’Aldol synthesis’ was taken from the words ’aldehyde and alcohol’. This is because the product of this reaction contains both an aldehyde and alcohol. The carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction is referred to as aldol addition. An aldol condensation yields many species of products if the reactant is more than one. Therefore‚ the aldehyde has to react with itself to yield one product. Procedure: Followed according

Experiment A1: Kinetics of the Reaction between Acetone and Iodine The key aim of this experiment was to determine the rate equation for the acid-catalysed iodination of acetone and to hence consider the insinuations of the mechanism of the rate equation obtained. The stoichiometric equation for the reaction between iodine and acetone is below‚ followed by the rate equation (where x‚y‚z and k are the values to be obtained): I2 + CH3COCH3 CH3COCH2I + HI -d[I2]/dt = k [I2]x [CH3COCH3]y [H+]z
