Introduction Discovered by Georg Wittig in 1954‚ the Wittig reaction is a robust organic synthesis method for preparing stereospecific alkenes. In general‚ Wittig reactions involve an aldehyde or ketone and a Wittig reagent (triphenylphosphonium ylide) and result in the formation of an alkene product and triphenylphosphine oxide (side product). Stereospecific alkene products can be synthesized by adjusting the reaction reagents and conditions. In the 60 years since the Wittig reaction was discovered

involves two main steps such as‚ the activation of the support material by the addition of the reactive compound and the second one is the modification of the polymer backbone to activate the matrix (Figure 1). The activation step produces the electrophilic group on the support material‚ so that the support material couples /reacts with the strong nucleophiles on the proteins [2]. For example glutaraldehyde is the activation method‚ in this reaction the amine group reacts with the activated matrix

or NaBH4 must be carefully chosen. Being that LiAlH4 and NaBH4 will not react with isolated carbon-carbon double bonds nor the double bonds from aromatic rings; the chosen compound can be reduce selectively when the nucleophile only react with electrophilic carbons. Figure 1: reduction mechanism for the reaction In this experiment‚ the benzil (diketone) is used as the organic substrate. Sodium borohydride‚ NaBH4 is used as the reducing agent (metal hydride) and ethanol as the solvent. The

The Co(acac)3 complex is used as a reagent instead of acacH because acacH cannot be directly converted to 3-nitroacetylacetone. Since Co(acac)3 is not stable in HNO3‚ Cu(NO3)2 and acetic anhydride are used in this reaction to produce the final product

168.2 - 171.5°C‚ respectively. The literature melting point of acetaminophen is 169.5 – 171.0°C‚ indicating that our final product was pure. Introduction The synthesis of acetaminophen involves the attraction of the electrophilic carbonyl group of acetic anhydride to the nucleophilic NH2 of the p-aminophenol. This occurs because the NH2 group is a better nucleophile than the OH group attached on the opposite side of the p-aminophenol. A new nitrogen-carbon bond is formed

aldol condensation careful selection of compound is important to avoid unwanted product mixtures. This is because a crossed aldol condensations is most effective if only one of the reactants can form an enolate ion and the other reactant is more electrophilic toward enolates. Thus Benzaldehyde is a good reagent for crossed aldols because it has no α-hydrogens‚ so it cannot form an enolate. In this

Phenol‚ also known as carbolic acid‚ is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic‚ but requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar‚ but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a
