Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Abstract: This procedure demonstrates the nitration of methyl benzoate to prepare methyl m-nitrobenzoate. Methyl benzoate was treated with concentrated Nitric and Sulfuric acid to yield methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The product was then isolated and recrystallized using methanol. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which the nitro group replaces a proton of the aromatic ring. Following recrystallization‚ melting point and infrared

from Benzoic Acid October 28‚ 2010 Abstract: This experiment was conducted to synthesize methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol by using the Fischer esterification method. Methanol (12.5ml) and Benzoic acid (4.9 grams) are heated together in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5ml) until equilibrium is achieved. A reflux apparatus is set up for 1 hour to carry out the reaction at the boiling point of the solvent (Methanol‚ 2.5ml). Then‚ separation though an extraction apparatus

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

A. Title – Acid-Base Extraction with Separatory Funnel B. Introduction – The main objective of the experiment was the extract an acid‚ a base‚ and a neutral compound from a 2:1:1 compound of benzoic acid‚ p-nitroaniline‚ and azobenzene. In theory‚ an extraction technique based on phase distribution should allow two immiscible solvents to separate with a portion of the solute distributed into each. Using a separatory funnel‚ acids were extracted with bases (NaOH)‚ and bases were extracted

Harper Chemical Jeffrey Gomez February 5‚ 2013 Introduction Harper Chemical’s forecasting for its new project called Domanite was very inaccurate. Expenses were estimated with a failure to account for unexpected expenditures‚ and spending was not regulated well. Sales figure estimates were inflated‚ and did not account for the difficulty of opening a new market. Unexpected Losses It was originally estimated that the sales volume of Domanite would hit 55‚000 tons per year by 1983.
