Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

is a combination of two cyclopentadienide ions with a ferrous cation‚ such that the six pi electrons binds every carbon equally to the metal forming a sandwich type structure. Ferrocene has the properties of both an activated benzene (undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions) and a ferrous ion (oxidation reaction). Glyme and DMSO are used as solvents as they have moderate polarity so they would break up KOH into K+ and OH-‚ without breaking the hydrogen bonding in the hydroxide ion. Cyclopentadiene

Abstract – This multi-step synthesis uses aniline as the starting reagent to synthesize five compounds employing several reactions such as acetylation‚ diazo coupling‚ nitration‚ bromination‚ and hydrolysis. The isolated products were analyzed with TLC and spectral data that determined most products were pure while some had a few impurities indicated by GC‚ LC‚ and a wide melting point range was shown for products 2 and 3. The presence of water in product 2 and 7 was indicated by the IR. Acetanilide

NITRATION OF METHYL BENZOATE Purpose: The main objective of this experiment was to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ using the mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid by performing the process of electrophillic aromatic substitution. During this reaction‚ the combination of HNO3 and H2SO4 made a nitrating solution. The crystallization was done to accomplish pure product. The melting point and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were performed to test the purity of the product. Using

(g) / theoretical yield (g) x 100 % yield = 3.28g/5.20g x100 = 63.08% Discussion This experiment involved the addition of trans-cinnamic acid to bromine for the production of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid. This process depicted an electrophilic addition of a halogen to an asymmetrically substituted alkene. A result of this process was the presence of a stereospecific bromonium ion formed by the mechanism of the reaction. The mixing of 2.5g of trans-cinnamic acid with 14.6 ml of 10%
