after reacting with pyridinum tribromide in order to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution. The melting point of the isolated products were measured against the standards in order to determine how strong of an ortho/para activator the compound was based on the product(s) and melting point obtained. Theory: Electrophilic aromatic substitution is an organic reaction that takes place when an atom that is bound to an aromatic ring is replaced by an electrophile. The electrophile replaces a hydrogen

because of the presence of two methoxy groups. The groups act as activators to electrophilic aromatic substitution because of their ability to donate electrons through resonance. This enhanced activation helps favor the initial substitution. After this‚ the ring has two methoxy groups and an alkyl group attached to it. The addition of the alkyl group further activate the ring for another electrophilic aromatic substitution. The addition of a second alkyl group must attach on the opposite side of the

An examination of the porphyrin structure reveals that individual pyrrole units comprise the overall structure. As an aromatic compound‚ pyrrole can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions to form the porphyrin (your report should discuss the mechanism in great detail‚ including the regiochemistry). The initial porphyrinogen product is not fully aromatic‚ but oxidation from atmospheric oxygen in the presence of the Lewis acid silica gel allows formation of the fully conjugated

As a result‚ charcoal was shown to be the more effective sequestration agent. Introduction PAHs‚ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons‚ are organic compounds that are toxic to the environment. They are inevitably produced from the incomplete combustion of gasoline or coal that originates in industrial and agricultural processes1. PAHs are also water pollutants and may

Anthony Young Partner: Nick Dale TA: Alekhya 6/15/15 The SN2 Reaction: Factors Affecting SN2 Reaction. Introduction In the substitution reactions‚ the leaving group from the substrate is replaced with the nucleophile. Because of the nucleophile it is called nucleophilic substitution. The lone pair of electrons‚ present on the nucleophile is used to create a new bond with the carbon atom‚ from which the leaving group was separated. There are two different mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution: SN1

Synthesis of 1-bromobutane from 1-Butanol using the SN2 Reaction Abstract: The objective of this experiment is designed to study the synthesis of 1-bromobutane from 1 butanol using a SN2 reaction.. The product will then be analyzed using a flamed loop test by use of fire. Reaction Mechanism: CH3CH2CH2CH2—OH H+ CH3CH2CH2CH2— +OH2 Br- CH3CH2CH2CH2—Br + H2O 1-butanol

Abstract:The Wittig Reaction is a nucleophilic addition in which an alkene is formed as a product. Both the E and Z isomers of the alkene result. Substituents on the aromatic aldehyde affect the E/Z ratio of products that form. In this experiment‚ a nitro group was used as the substituent in the ortho‚ meta and para positions‚ with benzaldehyde as the control. Each of the four aldehydes reacted with (carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane to produce ethyl cinnamate‚ ethyl-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate

The first objective aims to synthesize an isomer of alkenes. This was done by converting maleic acid to fumaric acid. This conversion was accomplished by applying a heat-catalyzed reaction on maleic acid
