compared the boiling points of a group of straight chained alkanes to 2 branched alkanes‚ a ketone‚ an alcohol and an alkene. I plotted a graph of boiling points of straight chain alkanes against its molar mass. Here‚ it was noticed that as the molar mass increased‚ the boiling point increased as well. However‚ when I plotted the graph of the 2 branched alkanes‚ the ketone‚ alcohol and alkene‚ I noticed that they didn’t follow the same trend as the straight chain alkanes. The branched alkanes had a lower

Title : Properties of hydrocarbon Objective : 1) To study the properties of hydrocarbons. 2) To determine the unknown samples. Results : Part A : Combustion Compounds Observations Hexane There was orange flame and burned mildly during the burning process. No soots and smoke were produced. C6H14 + 19/2 O2 6CO2 + 7H2O Cyclohexene Orange flame burned vigorously. A small amount of black soot and smoke were produced during the burning process.

85°C which is very close to the theoretical melting point of Fluorenone which is about 83 °C. Since the melting point was off by about 1.5°C it is assumed that some sources of error was obtained in the experiment. Since there was very little of the alkene in the sample‚ and none of it eluded out‚ it may have been stuck in the stationary phase. Hence when the ketone passed through the stationary phase it may have gotten contaminated leading to the error. Also all of the MTBE may not have evaporated

Lab #24- Preparation 4-Methylcyclohexene Introduction: The goals in this lab were to have a reaction occur with 4-methylcyclohexanol and an acid catalyst to form our product of 4-methylcyclohexene via an E1 reaction. This reaction is accomplished by removing the –OH group on 4-methylcyclohexanol via dehydration and to have a double bond form via a loss of a hydrogen on a β-Carbon. Many techniques and skills were developed in this lab. Among them were dehydration‚ isolation‚ drying

Dehydrating Cyclohexanol • Introduction The purpose of the lab experiment is to prepare cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through an acid-catalyzed dehydration. In order to produce the cyclohexene from cyclohexanol‚ an elimination reaction was performed. First by protonating the oxygen of the alcohol and creating an oxonium ion we replaced the poor leaving group (OH) into a better leaving group (OH2+). Second‚ dehydrating the cyclohexanol using phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid as acid catalysts

Infrared Spectroscopy Organic Chemistry Lab 301A B. The purpose of this lab is to study Infrared Spectroscopy‚ which focuses on the study of the electromagnetic spectrum. The area to be studied is the infrared region‚ which is made up of gamma‚ X‚ and UV rays. We want to be able to identify spectra’s to their complementary structures. The background of this experiment particularly deals with the study of compound structure determination‚ and traits. We must be aware of the functional groups

Synthesis of trans-9-(2-Phenylethenyl)anthracene Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to convert carboxyl compounds into alkenes. While this reaction yields both the E and Z isomers‚ it is preferred over other reactions due to the lack of uncertainty of where the double bond is positioned. Also the stability of an ylide determines which isomer is the major product. 1 Experimental: Compounds Benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride 9-Anthraldehyde 50% Aqueous NaOH DCM Product Formula weight

experimentally observed competing dihydroxylation reaction and the ligand-induced reaction rate acceleration. Introduction Sharpless et al. reported in the 1970s an aza-analogon of the osmium-catalyzed cis-vicinal dihydroxylation (DH)1 of alkenes‚ the aminohydroxylation (AH).2‚3 In 1996 it was rendered asymmetric4 and extended to a large variety of substrates in the following. The AH is synthetically important as it provides straightforward access to the aminoalcohol fragment present in
