Experiment C. Aim: To protect one of two carbonyl groups (C1) in order to allow the other to react twice with a Grignard followed by removal of the protecting group by acid hydrolysis to give final product (C2). Method: Ethyl acetoacetate (30.03g)‚ ethylene glycol (15.01g) and toluene-p-sulphonic acid (0.13g) were added to a 250 cm3 round bottomed flask‚ containing a stirrer bar and toluene (100 cm3)‚ fitted with a condenser and dean-stark head. Solution was heated strongly under reflux using

Introduction Cinnamaldehyde‚ cinnamic aldehyde or 3-phenyl-2-propenal is the major constituent of cinnamon oil‚ extracted from several species of Cinnamomum (C. verum‚ C. burmanii‚ C. cassia)‚ under the family Lauraceae‚ a group of evergreen trees. Cinnamon bark (particularly C. verum) yields 0.4-0.8% oil‚ which contains 60-80% cinnamaldehyde

SYNTHESIS OF 1-PHENYLAZO-2-NAPHTHOL ABSTRACT Amines are compounds composed of nitrogen atoms bearing alkyl or aromatic compounds. Amines undergo interesting reactions‚ one of which is with the reaction with nitrous acid producing an azo dye. In this study‚ the experiment focused on synthesizing an observing the physical properties of Sudan-1. Sudan-1 is of the most common dyes found in waxes‚ oils and in some food ingredients specifically curry and chilli powder. Furthermore‚ this study aimed to

Our data displayed supports the notion that by increasing the acidity of the catalyst‚ the production of aspirin will increase. Our hypothesis was proven correct. In our data‚ we calculated the percent yield and percent error of each trial. We also calculated the average of the percent yields and the percent errors of each catalyst. In the end‚ we saw that for the sulphuric acid catalyzed aspirin‚ we saw an average of 69.7% percent yield and an average 30.3% percent error. As for the phosphoric acid

alkane have been replaced by halogen atoms‚ fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine or iodine. In carbon-halogen bond‚ halogens have significantly greater electronegativities than carbon except iodine. In result‚ this group is polarized so that the carbon is electrophilic and the halogen is nucleophilic. Halogenoalkanes can be classified depending on the halogen atom position on the chain of carbon atoms. The carbon which is attached with the halogen atom is linked up with only one other alkyl group in primary halogenoalkanes

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface
